THE 1975 NEW TOM & JERRY CARTOON OF THE WEEK
(UPDATED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING)
"SAFE BUT NOT SORRY"
(PRODUCTION #80-18, FIRST AIRED ON ABC 9/27/1975)
This Hanna-Barbera produced, ABC Saturday
Morning 1975-77 revival of the 1940-58/1961-67 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon short
 series featuring the Academy Award-winning cat and mouse duo has been my
all-time favorite version for many years. In fact, it's my all-time
favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Period. And this is the world's first and only known web site devoted solely to the preservation and perpetuation of The New Tom & Jerry Show,
which was the first time the cat and mouse comedy duo were adjusted to grace the small screen, uniquely as friends in this much toned
down, non-violent, Yogi Bear/Boo Boo-esque incarnation rather than their typical at-odds relationship of yore (in order to
satisfy ABC-TV Broadcast Standards and Practices), and Jerry dons a red bowtie, so the animators would be able to
"fragment" his movements. Thomas Jasper Cat and Jerome Jinx Mouse roamed the
 world competing in sports, enduring on-the-job misadventures,
running afoul of dastardly villains, solving mysteries and helping
others, placed in more "socially acceptable" situations. Below I have included a complete telecast history of The New Tom & Jerry Show's existence on ABC-TV, all of the lyrics to the The New Tom & Jerry Show's
main title theme, and a table of contents leading to other areas of this site, including a series history, a complete list of all 48 7-minute New Tom & Jerry cartoons from 1975, with links to individual episode pages depicting detailed synopses and trivia of each show, a listing of production credits, links to information on Tom & Jerry's mid-'70s component series co-stars Mumbly and Grape Ape (since this site concerns them as well as T&J) and links to a dozen neat Tom & Jerry and other toon-related sites on the WWW. Enjoy!
Now stay tuned for The Lost Saucer following Schoolhouse Rock, next here on ABC!
