I’ve always disliked Tom & Jerry, even when I was a child. Whoever created that cartoon must have really hated cats. Tom always got brutalized, and in some of those old episodes he got killed at the end. The guys who created The Simpsons made a nasty satire out of Tom & Jerry called “Itchy & Scratchy”. Now they’re running those old Tom & Jerry cartoons on Boomerang. I never fail to remember to miss them.
I have the complete opposite take. I would DVR Tom & Jerry every day on Boomerang. Tex Avery was truly the King of Cartoons.
