to think the 'new' Tom and Jerry cartoons are just shite?

[PacificDogwood]

I love T&J and have done since my childhood some considerable time ago.

DS3 likes watching it on Boomerang and some of the old stuff is on and it still makes me lard .
The post-Barbera stuff is just dire: poor graphics, poor plot-lines, rubbish music, really really poor comic timing.

What happened??

I'll be darned if I a make a First World/light-hearted disclaimer btw

You can't beat a Fred Quimby Tom and Jerry.
The newer ones are just rubbish, I agree.

You are a woman of impeccable taste, MrsBowie - I couldn't remember Fred Quimby's name, so thanks for that.

I wonder what happened - you'd've thought that what with technology moving on that doing good animation would have been easier even before Pixar et al took over??

YANBU OP if it's not Fred Quimby it's not worth watching

YANBU.
I can't even cope with talking Tom and jerry.

I loved Spike the dog.

Oh, yes, Spike and his pup - such an involved father .

And the house keeper of whom you only ever see the legs.

Thanks gordy .

that's the one my kids call 'the baby episode' it's their favorite

"That's my boy"

oh and I love Toms girlfriend Toots !

They are absolutely dreadful. YANBU at all.

Does anybody know why they went down-hill like that? I know that they were produced by a new team, but the general lowering of quality on ALL counts just seems a bit weird.
Ah, well, at least the old ones are of a quality that they never become tiresome

Utter bastards

i used to like Top Cat, with Benny and Officer Dibble.

and the new Scooby-doo is shite too. Fred and daphne an item, Velma and shaggy an item? oh purleeeease.

hate it. Dc likes old and new though.

hate the new loony tunes too.

I suppose the housekeeper of the old T & J is un-pc now!

I loved her. ''thomaaaaas!''

Yes, I agree, Boris, but as I don't have the same fondness for Scoobie et al I just don't care .

And Looney Tunes just makes my teeth itch - and yes, the darling offspring with their limited horizons like it just the same. Tsk.

Love your name Boris

They're not just shite, they're total and utter shite! The same as Scooby-Doo with Batman and Robin in it...... WTAF?

I love the old ones and bought them on dvd for dd, far better than the new shite, agreed.
Her favourite is Hong Kong Phooey.

Pink Panther and all his mates - there's another one that did NOT benefit from rehashing.

Coolforcatz, I agree re total and utter shite, but I did not want to be too rude in the thread title

YANBU

Thanx MrsDavidBowie ! love yours too-AND David Bowie!

yy mthe pink panther one too.

Old Tom and Jerry is the only Tom and Jerry. YANBU. It all went downhill after they started speaking. Remember The Night Before Christmas? Or The Flying Mouse? Pure artistry :(

If only I was boris.
i would not be mumsnetting
