## Description

"The iconic cat and mouse rivals are back in The Tom and Jerry Show, a new, fresh take on the classic series. Preserving the look, characters and sensibility of the original, the all-new series shines a brightly colored, high-definition lens on the madcap slapstick and never-ending battle that has made Tom and Jerry two of the most beloved characters of all time."[3]

## Notes

The show evokes the classics (like Warner Bros. series New Looney Tunes/Wabbit), but tries to stay away from a lot of the cliches (e.g. rarely TNT). Sometimes a cliche will be used if needed.

The show shares it's name with The Tom and Jerry Show from 1975.

Tom's screams and the sound effects of Tom and sometimes Jerry in the episodes are copied voice clips from William Hanna's recordings that were first recorded in the original "Tom and Jerry" cartoons.

Tom and Jerry are capable of talking like the rest of the characters. However, they prefer to be silent.

In this show, Spike sometimes will get back at Jerry because Spike finally notices it was Jerry who was really responsible for bothering his son, stealing his bones and getting bothered and injured. (As seen in "Birthday Bashed" and some episodes as well.)

In this show, Tom is still enemies with Jerry, Spike, Tyke, Tuffy and Quacker. (However, with some exceptions.)

In this show, Tom and Butch are sometimes enemies.

In this show, Tyke is still friends with Jerry.

In this show, Tom's sometimes shown to be good friends with Spike, and sometimes likes/tolerates Tyke, Jerry, and Tuffy.
