* The Deitch shorts are even more contested, if not outright hated. While the slapstick was kept and in some instances being DenserAndWackier, the background, animation, and other characters often suffer in quality. The final five Deitch shorts (starting with "WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryCartoonKit") are widely seen as an improvement, though even then there's some debate as to whether they're genuinely good, or only better by comparison to Deitch's earlier efforts.

* The Filmation Tom and Jerry, despite the return of traditional cat-and-mouse formula, generally disliked due to each episode reusing the same music and repetitive slapstick, giving the low budget impression. It started the trend of [[{{Transplant}} other MGM cartoon characters entering into the franchise]], but it seems people think it was better handled later.

* Similar to [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo others]], ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014'' seems to be very well-liked by certain people and viewed as inferior to the DTV line by others.
* To the same extent, the DTV line is still running with that good old fashioned HB polarizing attitude in full effect, with some questioning why it even still continues to exist, while others support it every year and dismiss the haters as an internet periphery.

* After Fred Quimby retired in 1955, the subsequent Hanna-Barbera shorts have increasingly lower background quality, despite being filmed in CinemaScope. This is especially jarring when some of the shorts are remaking the old ones, like "Feedin' the Kiddie" compared to "The Little Orphan", possibly attributed to lower budget (as it's the last batch of Hanna-Barbera shorts). Some fans still appreciate the later 1950s cartoons for perfecting the characters and chemistry, as well as downplaying the more mean spirited elements of the earlier 1940s shorts.

* The Creator/ChuckJones shorts, while generally considered better than most if not all other post-Creator/HannaBarbera installments (and even some of the last few Hanna-Barbera shorts), are either loved or hated, chief reason is because of the blatant ArtShift (especially where in many of the shots, Tom looks more UglyCute than cute) and how the chase pace is slower where in many cases Tom and Jerry rely more on tools and wits than chases, possibly due to the ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' spiritual influence, which Jones were famous of. Jones himself didn't care much for the Tom and Jerry shorts he did, but they did give him practice for when he created the TV adaptation of ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''.
** There is also the fact that both in Gene Deitch's and Chuck Jones' rendition of the duo, it is clear the duo TookALevelInJerkass toward each other.
* The [[WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow 70s era]] dumps the iconic slapstick in favor of walking together in a row and apart from few, usually competition-based episodes they TookALevelInKindness, but those who watched it might found it better than Deitch and Filmation these days.

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids'' is neck and neck with the Jones era for second best by most, as it retains the original cat-and-mouse slapstick formula. But it still has some detractors, mostly due to the TotallyRadical TheNineties aesthetics.
* And finally, the recent incarnations, the DTV features and ''Tom & Jerry Tales'' are in decent standing with plenty of people on the other side.
