The 1975 Hanna-Barbera version of the series of cat & mouse duo Tom & Jerry. Here, in a much toned down, non-violent, Yogi Bear/Boo Boo-esque format (in order to satisfy ABC-TV Broadcast Standards and Practices), the long-popular Tom & Jerry, after years of rivalry, have become the best of friends (and Jerry dons a red bowtie, so the animators would be able to "fragment" his movments).
Initially aired on ABC Funshine Saturday as part of:
The New Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show (September 6, 1975 – September 4, 1976, ABC Saturday 8:30–9:30 a.m. [EDT])
The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show (September 11 – November 27, 1976, ABC Saturday 8:00–9:00 a.m. [EDT]) (reruns of Tom and Jerry and Grape Ape)
The Tom and Jerry/Mumbly Show (December 4, 1976 – September 3, 1977, ABC Saturday 8:00–8:30 a.m. [EDT]) (reruns)
The Tom & Jerry Show has the distinction of being the first incarnation of T&J to be produced exclusively for television.
