second season also has the first theme variation as evidenced in official iTunes release


* EvolvingCredits: The first season had the show's logo appear thematically over a city and shows clips of Tom, Jerry and their co-stars doing about their lives, ending with the same logo. The Season 2, 3 and 4 opening changes this radically to have Tom chase Jerry around a construction site, passing their co-stars as the show's logo is being built, and it ends with the full cast rising on a girder and the same logo being displayed over the city.

*ADayInTheLimelight: As the show progressed, much of the secondary cast of characters began starring in their own independent shorts starting in the second season:
** The Urfo (who may or may not be the same character who appears in the first season, but redesigned and capable of speaking) co-stars "The Little Thinker" with his new owner, a little boy named Buzz.
** Wild Mouse (now also redesigned) gets "Wild Mouse II" and "Hunter Pierre". His appearances with Tom also count, as Jerry is absent in most of these shorts.
** Slowpoke Antonio has "Just Rambling Along" and "Rootin' Tootin' Slowpoke".
** Swampy Fox (in his only appearance on the show) and The Gator Brothers (from "Wild Mouse II") are the stars of "Cajun Gumbo".
** Bernie the Swallow, and by extension Kyle and Clyde, stars in "Swallow The Swallow" and "Grab That Bird."
** Kyle The Cat also has the short "Pound Hound" in season three.
** The Mouse Scouts (without Jerry) are the central focus of "Roughing It", the final segment of the third season.
** Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazy Legs Snake from WesternAnimation/CBBears, now able to speak, are the highlights of "Destructive Construction" and "Abusement Park".
** Calaboose Cal had "The Mouth Is Quicker Than The Eye" and "Termite Terminator" both from the fourth season, with the latter being the last short that stars a character other than Tom & Jerry, Droopy & Dripple or Spike & Tyke in the lead role .

Soon after, Vavoom returns in the courtroom, tied up, gagged, and blindfolded, hopping until she arrives next to Dripple, who unties her before she plays her tape.

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. Despite that, it is still looked at in a more positive light than previous Tom and Jerry incarnatons. 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''.
