Airing from [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation 1990 to 1994]] on Creator/FoxKids, this newly produced SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon, with ThreeShorts to each episode, was much closer to the tried and true formula of the famous cat and mouse duo than, say, [[WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow their earlier series]]. However, it still had the same watered-down violence carried over. There were also shorts starring classic Tom and Jerry co-stars Spike and Tyke, and Creator/TexAvery's WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} character (along with his son Dripple), the latter of which spun off into its own series, ''WesternAnimation/DroopyMasterDetective''.
