The New Tom & Jerry Show, also known as The Tom & Jerry Show, is an animated television series produced for Saturday mornings by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Television in 1975 for ABC based on the original theatrical shorts starring the Hanna-Barbera-created cat and mouse duo, Tom and Jerry.
Plot
Here, in a much toned down, non-violent, Yogi and Boo Boo-esque format, the long-popular Tom and Jerry, after years of rivalry, have become the best of friends in episodes wherein they roamed the world competing in sports, enduring on-the-job misadventures, running afoul of dastardly villains, solving mysteries and helping others.
Broadcast history
A total of 48 7-minute New Tom & Jerry cartoons were produced in 1975 and originally aired in these following formats on ABC Saturday morning:
- The New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape Show (September 6, 1975 - September 4, 1976, ABC Saturday 8:30 - 9:30 A.M. [EDT])
- The Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show (September 11 - November 27, 1976, ABC Saturday 8:00 - 9:00 A.M. [EDT])
- The Tom & Jerry/Mumbly Show (December 4, 1976 - September 3, 1977, ABC Saturday 8:00 - 8:30 A.M. [EDT])
These cartoons were later edited within main and end title credits and added to run with theatrical-era MGM Tom & Jerry cartoons from 1940 to 1967 for syndication. Since 1986, it has been rebroadcast on TBS, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Canada's Teletoon and Teletoon Retro (the former 3 networks are part of Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting System, which purchased the pre-1986 MGM library in 1986, and Hanna-Barbera in 1991). The cartoons have been shown with the main and end title credits intact on TBS and on the Teletoon channels, whereas Cartoon Network and Boomerang air the cartoons without the opening/closing graphics.
