tahibhassam This show is nothing compared to the classic Tom and Jerry.It is a kid show with poor graphics, the original is better than this it was great it was liked by kids and adults both with full of emotion full of comedy I grown up by watching classic Tom and Jerry.But today kids are seeing these types of Ugly cartoons like Uncle Grandpa,Johnny Test etc.
adonis98-743-186503 A cat and mouse brawl with each other. The Tom and Jerry Show is something that will face negativity cause of the "Fanbase" and honestly i don't see the problem with the Show it's fun just like the Original was and the jokes even after all those Centuries they still land and their great to be exact. The Team of Tom and Jerry remain as lovable as they were back then and even tho it's the Modern World it doesn't get over the top or has this whole weird animation that Studios use for the past few years with characters like Scooby-Doo or Ben 10 and others in general and i think that it's an overall show that deserves a few chances to be appreciated and it's something that both Kids and Parents can enjoy.
TheLittleSongbird As far as the classic, iconic cat and mouse duo go, The Tom and Jerry Show is not in the same league as any of the MGM (1940-1958) shorts, a vast majority of which being cartoon classics, but it is far more watchable than every single one of the Gene Deitch cartoons, all but two being abominations, and the worst of Chuck Jones' hit and miss output. And as far as shows airing on Boomerang go, it's neither among the best or worst, it's no original Looney Tunes, original Tom and Jerry or Scooby-Doo but it's better than The Looney Tunes Show, Sonic Boom and the Inspector Gadget reboot.The Tom and Jerry Show is heavily flawed and hugely disappointing, but does have its moments. The music is lively and characterful and does try to stay to the style of the style of the classic cartoons, with energetic pacing and appealing instrumentation, no crude or going-through-the-motions scoring here. A good job too is done with the sound effects and the expressions of the characters, and the classic Tom and Jerry characters are mostly kept intact, Tom is still easy to root for, even for a 'predatory' character played for laughs, and Spike has some amusing moments. The slapstick is never as well-paced or imaginative as the original cartoons but there are times where it is fun and it doesn't veer on sadistic like the Gene Deitch cartoons did. The detective stories are very inspired and it was nice to see a different side to Tom and Jerry, which is one of the laudable things of The Tom and Jerry Show, for while it may not be a great show overall it does try to stay loyal to the formula and also attempts to do things different.Where The Tom and Jerry falls down mainly is in the animation style and a lot of the humour. Apart from the expressions of the characters, the flashy animation just looks cheap and lazy, looking more flat or over-saturated than vibrant, backgrounds are scrappy and lack detail and the characters often look rough. The problem with the humour is not that it's predictable, but more that the execution of a lot of it feels very half-baked and the timing is far too rushed, almost like the show was going for quantity for quality by trying to fit in as many gags as possible without giving enough thought to their execution. There is even some gross out humour incorporated, like in the episodes featuring the witch characters, and it seemed rather juvenile and out of place. Apart from the detective stories, the stories suffer from too hurried pacing, lack of imagination and flat material. Too many of the secondary characters are annoyingly punchable, Jerry while sometimes amusing is also like that a good deal of the time in the occasions when his treatment of Tom goes too far and Toodles, an adorable character before, is similarly obnoxious. The show also boasts a talented voice cast, but all of them have done much better work and few distinguish themselves.Overall, has its moments and is not that bad but for Tom and Jerry this was a huge disappointment. 5/10 Bethany Cox
Trombone77 Pros: 1) Stays true to origins: People complained about Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc. and The Looney Tunes Show not staying to its original formula (although I kind of liked the ongoing mystery in the former). However, not many people can complain that this series doesn't stray from the formula. You still have cat chases mouse. You even have some of the same sound effects.2) Still tries something new: While Tom and Jerry have stories with the same formula, it also isn't afraid of trying stories with something new. I especially enjoy the detective stories, since we see another side of Tom and Jerry.3) Not too annoying: The problem I find with some of the current animated series are how annoying they can be. I might be wrong, but I don't find that problem in this series.Cons: 1) Animation and art style: I will admit, this is probably the weakest point. The animation and art style is cheap. However, I think maybe the reason is that there isn't that much of a demand for slapstick humor as it was in the original's time of release. More effort is being put into dude-bro, dumb, and internet humor (don't ask me why). This might be why Tom and Jerry suffered so much in this series. Plus, with the fact that this show was announced a while ago (around the time Green Lantern: The Animated Series premiered), it must have been in storage for a while. Still, I don't think this is a legitimate reason to stop watching the show.2) Still have some jerk characters and punching bag characters: I think this is just a problem that plagues the whole franchise (or at least the series following the original), but Jerry is always made out to be the good guy, despite sometimes going too far with his gags, and Tom is made out to be the bad guy, despite sometimes not even agitating Jerry.All-in-all, it is still a watchable series. I can see it lasting WB Animation obligatory 52 episodes. I know it is being burned off as I type, but maybe its season 2 can be on Boomerang.
