The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show is a 1980 animated series produced by Filmation for CBS, bringing back the iconic cat-and-mouse duo in short, fast-paced adventures with bright colors and an entirely comic, slapstick register. The only sensitive elements are the chase sequences and cartoonish brawls between Tom and Jerry, featuring falls, bumps, explosions, and all manner of traps, all handled in a consequence-free cartoon style with no real pain or believable harm. These physical gags are omnipresent since they form the central comic engine of every episode, but they remain fully stylized and free of any darkness or serious threat. For the most sensitive very young viewers, parents may want to briefly reassure them that the characters are not really hurt and that this kind of cartoon comedy does not reflect real life.
Synopsis
The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show is an animated television program produced by Filmation for MGM Television in 1980, on CBS for Saturday mornings. The show lasted one season and the individual episodes were eventually added to syndicated Tom and Jerry packages, and also occasionally appeared on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Most voices were done by Frank Welker and Lou Scheimer.
Difficult scenes
The chases between Tom and Jerry produce numerous gags in which the cat is hit with mallets, launched by explosions, or caught in one trap after another. These situations recur in nearly every episode and, while handled in a fully comedic and consequence-free manner, they may startle very young children who are not yet familiar with the conventions of classic slapstick cartoons.
