Also similar to the Deitch films is the character design, in them being drawn similar to the original, but still slightly different.
TOM AND JERRY EPISODES WIKI SERIES
Where the original series and the third series by Chuck Jones would have favorable endings for Tom occasionally, this series followed the second series by Gene Deitch in never having definite "wins" for Tom. This did match the chase scenes, but gave the episodes a very monotonous soundtrack, making these episodes "stand out" to many Tom & Jerry viewers when they aired.
In addition to the animation, the show was characterized by very limited music score all of the episodes, both Tom & Jerry and Droopy, used the same stock, mostly created new for the series, but consisting of only a handful of largely synthesized tunes, either with minor variations or played at different speeds or pitches. (Like Droopy's opening poem "Roses are red, violets are blue, painting's my job, that's what I do cute and somewhat wet"). He would start by painting the whole background with a single large brush stroke (making stylistic use of Filmation's characteristic "limited animation" technique), and he and the other speaking characters would engage in brief comedic sketches. The familiar rotating executive producer credit of Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott briefly runs as Tom chases Jerry past the screen, knocking things over and running over others along the way.Īfter the opening sequence, the wraparound segments, hosted by Droopy, would begin. They continue chasing, as all of the other stars build a giant "Tom & Jerry" sign (similar to the second opening of Tom & Jerry Kids). The show's opening begins with Tom chasing Jerry through a blank yellow screen. Characters not seen in this series of Tom and Jerry shorts are Mammy Two Shoes, Butch, Topsy, Lightning, Quacker and Toodles Galore.
TOM AND JERRY EPISODES WIKI TV
Still missing was the " Red Hot Riding Hood" character, who would not reappear until the following made for TV series, Tom & Jerry Kids, in 1990. The villainous wolf from the classic series was also included, and named "Slick Wolf". Spike from Tom and Jerry was used in many of these Droopy episodes as well, filling in for the other "Spike" bulldog created by Tex Avery for the old Droopy films, who was not used as a separate character here.
TOM AND JERRY EPISODES WIKI PLUS
Half hour shows would consist of two 7 minute Tom and Jerry episodes, plus one Droopy cartoon in the middle, featuring some other characters such as Barney Bear. The version by Filmation (Hanna-Barbera's leading competitor for TV animation at the time) was able to restore the familiar slapstick chase format, and reintroduced not only Spike, Tyke and Nibbles, but also some of the other MGM stars. The previous made for TV Tom and Jerry Show for the ABC Network in 1975 was produced by Hanna and Barbera under their own studio (with MGM), but had made the cat and mouse friends in most of the episodes, due to the reaction against violence in cartoons. After the original 114 theatrical shorts run of the William Hanna- Joseph Barbera directed series, the characters were leased to other animation studios who changed the designs, and eliminated all of the supporting characters.
The series was notable in being the first attempt since the closing of the MGM studio in the 1950s to restore the original format of the cat and mouse team.
This was the fifth incarnation of the popular Tom and Jerry cartoon franchise, and the second made-for-television production. Most voices were done by Frank Welker (mainly Tom and Jerry) and Filmation head Lou Scheimer provided the voice of Nibbles (errorly giving him an adult voice).
The show lasted two seasons (with season two consisting of reruns) and the individual episodes were eventually added to syndicated Tom and Jerry packages, and also occasionally appeared on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, as well as, in 2013, airing on UK satellite channel Pop. The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show is an animated television program produced by Filmation for MGM Television in 1980, on CBS for Saturday mornings.
