Tom & Jerry Kids is an animated television series, featuring the popular cat-and-mouse duo as kids. The show premeried on FOX on September 8, 1990 and continued airing until October 2, 1993, producing a total of 65 episodes. It is one of only two Hanna-Barbera shows (alongside spin-off Droopy: Master Detective) to air in first-run on FOX.

Tom & Jerry Kids is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the theatrical shorts. In terms of level of violence, they are less violent than their predecessor. Also, they show some tendency of using various tools or weapons in order to attack each other, rather than solely resort to simple chasing. As usual, the feisty feline Tom constantly tries to catch the lovable mouse Jerry, often causing lots of mishaps for the duo.

[edit] History

Perhaps the notable differences from the classic shorts are Tom and Jerry's appearances. The young Tom wore a red baseball cap on his head, and the young Jerry had a nice clump of hair on his head and sported a red bow tie (a symbol of the 1975 Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons). The show consists of three seven-minute shorts. The earliest (1990-1991) episodes contained two Tom and Jerry shorts, and one short that either features Droopy or Spike.

However, the later episodes that begun airing in 1992 had become more variant in terms of featured characters. Characters that starred in their own segments include Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, and Wildmouse. Many times, there was only one Tom and Jerry short featured in the 1992-1993 episodes. Also, there was an episode that featured Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazylegs (in which they actually spoke here) from CB Bears.

After Tom & Jerry Kids went out of production in 1993, it soon began airing in reruns on the Cartoon Network. Currently, the show is not airing on Cartoon Network but instead on its sister networks Boomerang and Cartoon Network TOO.
