    The Hanna-Barbera era, the Gene Deitch era, or the Chuck Jones era?

    I liked it best when it was done by William Hanna and Joseph Barbara. Not only did it actually create the cat and mouse, but they also made some of my personal favorite Tom and Jerry cartoons. The first one, Puss Gets the Boot is one of my personal favorites out of all Tom and Jerry cartoons.

    The Hanna Barbera era is the best. However I do have a soft spot for the Chuck Jones era since I am a fan of Chuck Jones.

    Hanna Barbera. Chuck Jones was alright but not as well done I don't think.

    The Hanna-Barbera/Chuck Jones era. I enjoy them both and particularly don't see much of a difference.

    Hanna Barbera era for me. I know I'm late, but felt like voicing my opinion.

    My vote really goes to the Chuck Jones era of Tom & Jerry cartoons. Heck, it's a step up from the classic Hanna-Barbera Tom & Jerry toons, with the added hint of Looney Tunes gags and action hidden throughout the Chuck Jones Tom & Jerry toons.

    Hannah Barbera. Sure they had a couple of shitty ones like those cinemascope remakes, and then they had that extremely racist His Mouse Friday, but they're still really good.


    Gene Dietch should've been arrested for making those 1961-1962 shorts.

    Chuck Jones didn't really improve anything, in fact he made 'em worse than the HB, but not as bad as GD. I think he was in envy from the 7 oscars Tom and Jerry won in the 1940-1958 era.

    The Hanna Barbera version of course they were the originals, I do like Chuck Jones' take on them though and his Tom seemed to have equal wins and loses.

    Wow I'm still surprised people like the Chuck Jones era.

    Really IMO CN needs to stop playing those or somebody should back to the 1967 vault fire and burn the Chuck Jones and Gene Dietch Tom and Jerry cartoons.

    Why do they even play those 1960s tom and jerry cartoons on Cartoon Network anyway?!!

    The William Hanna and Joseph Barbera MGM Cartoons were good. :)

    Yeah, I think almost everyone will agree that the Hanna Barbera cartoons are the best. I don't even think Mouse Cleaning is on any of the DVDs. :?

    I agree those things have always given me bad vibes. Not as bad as the Filmation ones in the early 80s :shock:

    The best were the older Hanna-Barbera ones from the 1940s.

    The William Hanna & Joseph Barbera era was the best (like most people said). I thought Chuck Jones's were okay, and Gene Deitch was just awful.

    @bassman21:
    I've never seen Filmation's Tom & Jerry cartoons, but that's probably a good thing! :lol:

    Yeah really. There's not much imagination to them and the animation is horrible. :P
