Gycu Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Tom & Jerry 1940-1958 ( Original Series ) Both William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are dead, but their creation will always make us laugh ... Important Links Tom and Jerry Wiki Unnoficial But Important T&J Site Who here is ( or was ) a big Tom & Jerry fan ? I like T&J very much, I can watch the same episode over and over again, never get bored ... These cartoons make me ROFL everytime ... I have two fav. episodes, the one in which Jerry must sign a contract for Tom, if not Tom ends up in Hell and the one with that "Mouse Cathcer" very complex invention ... One of the most funniest cartoons ever, so simple but also so complex ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwood Butcher Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Didn't Tom & Jerry get taken off of the TV because it was too violent? I used to watch it with my grandma all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they only censored some scenes ( for eg. the one in which Tom smokes a cigarette ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silberio Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 In some places they censored Tom & Jerry for being too violent, as I know. Here in Chile it isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Eh, i never watched it as a kid, though i would have watched it when i was little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I like the old T&J but they were "Politically Incorrect", so it's been forever since I've seen them. They were drawn better & funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silberio Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yah...But we aint communist anymore, we are Socialist, i think. Anyway, I would think that in some countries in Europe it could be censored. And whats that about Politicaly Incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to start a shitstorm w/ this one, please try to keep it in context. Idiot liberals finding things to bitch about or trying to sound like they care. Like images from form WWII era cartoons might offend someone. Another example is how over the last 30 years "Indian" has became a dirty word in the US. Although if asked, "Native Americans" call themselves "Indians", w/ considerable pride. There a few terms that are just plain insulting but political correctness gets a little carried away. During OJ's trial, his lawyer was publicly accused of being a sexist for using the word "hysterical" in court, a prosecutor wasted several hours arguing about in court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteria This could also be because they failed to prove their case & knew it.

MrLlamaLlama Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There was uproar in the UK, when T&J were critisized for the trivialisation of smoking. Witht the bans impending, there was a big thing, but i don't really know what happened.... if anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'd consider that another example of political correctness. Suppose I'll have to look around Amazon or e-bay for the originals. Like I said, they're the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrealistic ArtSweet Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) you know who Tom & Jerry are? they are the GTA of the cartoons. they get so much lawsuit, hell, even if Jack Thompson live in that era and sue 'em, he'll be a millionare! i mean really, before T&J, parents never cared for kids over watching cartoons, probably back then, people think that cartoons are just fine, they're just for kids. but when you watch T&J nowadays, did your parents ever go: hey, what are you watching? and you said: a cartoon, and they said, well, is it violent? and then you said, your missing the point! it's funny, and then your parents talk: no go, i know it's T&J. and we said: but, c'mon, i'm not going to blow the house with the cat in it, who does that???? i'm not a bomb expert! where the hell would i get TNT's from? the black market over at kindergarten??? it has happened to me and btw, nowadays, T&J is not really funny, esspecially because of the changed concept of the whole thing i really like the classic, and believe me, my other friends whose age the same as me, classic T&J is still killing 'em Edited June 28, 2007 by ArtSweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
