# Can you believe it's been 78 years since Tom and Jerry first started their rivalry? Childhood is time when you like Jerry and admire his smartness VS Maturity when you understand that Jerry is complete asshole and you feel sorry for Tom :)  William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were the first screenwriters and directors of this "cartoon" They produced more than 100 episodes for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  # About the characters Tom is a cat who is forever on the tail of his cheeky little housemate, Jerry the mouse. No tricks, traps or cast-iron frying pans will stop him in his chase for a tasty lunch! Tom is hapless cat on never-ending pursuit of a clever mouse.  Most of us grow up watching funny episodes of this two, thats why it is not sorprise that are manu fun pages and sitties , I find one on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/TomandJerry/) # Some interesting facts about Tom and Jerry - Their creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, went on to found their own studio which gave us The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, Top Cat and The Smurfs. - The original run of the series comprised 114 cartoons between 1940 and 1958 - In 1972, the Arab state of Sharjah issued a set of Tom and Jerry postage stamps  # occused for racism Early Tom and Jerry cartoons that feature Mammy Two Shoes, the stereotype black maid, now carry a health warning on Amazon. The animations, it warns, represent “some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society … that were wrong then and are wrong now”  # What is it about Tom & Jerry that makes you watch it over and over again regardless of how old you are? - Their stunts are hilarious and keep you hooked, and wanting for more. - The animation is great, the music is calibrated with the characters actions and it works perfectly. No matter what, this show will always be one of the most loved and remembered show of all times.
