Yeah this type of idea of a guy who created Ren and Stimpy is something you really didn't expect to turn out to be like this I'll give some credit for giving some good slapstick and story concept but most of the animation is done too cheap by using Flash animation making it less and less of a classic show and more of a different cartoon even though there's some good things in it a lot of it doesn't seem to be done right but like you'd expect Tom and Jerry classic films will always outstand the Reboots. (But not the Tom and Jerry Tales version that one was pretty good)

Even though the stories are quite the same, some added details changed this cartoon in a great way for many people, but not for me.Maybe the ones that used to watch these old MGM cartoons will never get adapted to these ones, and that is exactly what happens to me. I strongly believe that animation is cheaper than it was, which, for the ones of us who have seen the old episodes, is totally noticeable. However, if we can leave this cons by the side, we will be able to enjoy a nice show provided by a new production; kids may enjoy watching the adventures of these friends who, without caring about their differences, always help each-other if necessary!

The moment I heard of The Tom and Jerry Show, I honestly thought that there was finally going to be a creative team working on Tom and Jerry. I honestly thought that team would put in care, and effort. I though that team would give us back the tom and Jerry cartoons all animation fans used to worship. BOY did I get my hopes way to high up! Look I can understand that it's not wise to live in nostalgia, but with the crappy cartoons people put on television these days it's hard not to think back then of the good old days of animation. It's unfortunate that this ended up being another piece of crap. I' will be blunt. The animation is crap! This is really annoying because Tom and Jerry was always known for having low budget animation in their shorts. But the reason why it's annoying is because Tom and Jerry used their low budget animation to its full potential. This show doesn't try at all. I've seen better uses of flash animation in other shows. The comedy in the show is insulting. They make every joke obvious as hell. Isn't the point of a comedy to be surprising with the jokes? You know, make sure no one sees them coming. The slapstick is just bad, and it becomes atrocious when you compare to its older cartoon predecessors. Tom and Jerry Tales did even better than this show at slapstick. The Funny thing is that Tom and Jerry Tales is known for having a lot acquired taste jokes! In the end this isn't a bad cartoon. In fact it was almost a decently good show if it weren't for one particular criticism. THE POTENTIAL CRITICISM! This is a BAD criticism, especially for anything animated! This critique explains that the show knows it can do better, but to make things worse it shoves it in your face all the time! It's in every episode! THREE episodes particularly stand out in my mind. Episode 17(Domestic Kingdom), and Episode 22(Pipeline; and No Brain, No Gain). I had an immense amount of hope for this show to honor Hanna-Barbera for their legacy on the animation industry, but all we got an insult! An Insult, and a sad excuse for good cartoon comedy.

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.
