CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF NEW TOM & JERRY
(SEPTEMBER 6, 1975—SEPTEMBER 6, 2015) |

THE 1975 NEW TOM & JERRY CARTOON OF THE WEEK
(Updated every Saturday Morning)
"The Hypochondriac Lion"
(production #80-23, first aired on ABC 10/25/75)
This little-seen and remembered, 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 1975 version of Tom and Jerry! Here, in a much toned
down, non-violent, Yogi Bear/Boo Boo-esque format (in order to
satisfy ABC-TV Broadcast Standards and Practices), the long-popular
Tom and Jerry, after years of rivalry, have become the best of
friends (and Jerry dons a red bowtie, so the animators would be able to
"fragment" his movements), in episodes wherein they roamed the
world competing in sports, enduring on-the-job misadventures,
running afoul of dastardly villains, solving mysteries and helping
others. 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!
