| Tom and Jerry Tales | comment |
Tom and Jerry Tales was a modern Revival of the Tom and Jerry franchise which began production in 2005 and ran in the United States from September 23, 2006 to March 22, 2008 on Kids' WB! It is the fourth television show in the Tom & Jerry franchise and probably the most well-received.Episodes used a Three Shorts format, mirroring the length and format of the original theatrical shorts. Secondary characters from the original series returned, many for the first time since the 1950s. Droopy even starred in a few shorts alongside Tom and Jerry. It may have lacked some of the madcap slapstick violence of the original shorts, and towards the end relied too heavily on Recycled In Space-styled plots, but it tends to be viewed as better in comparison to past (and later) Tom & Jerry adaptations, as well as other cartoons on at the time.The Direct to Video Tom and Jerry movies made since the series ended are somewhat of a Spiritual Successor, having the same animation and writing style. It used to air reruns on Cartoon Network from 2011-2017 and is currently airing reruns on Boomerang. | |

Sure, Let's Go with That | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: Tom once entered a cat show and Jerry and Nibbles decided to sabotage him. One of their plans included adding lemon juice at his voice spray for his Pagliacci act. With the sounds he made once the juice took effect, the narrator assumed (and announced) that Tom gave up opera and decided to imitate bird songs. Tom decided to play along. | |

The Cameo: Wolfie, from Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood and numerous Droopy shorts, appears as a ghost in "Spook House Mouse". Joe Bear, an extremely loud bear who hates noise from Tex Avery's Rock-a-bye Bear, makes a cameo in the episode "Sasquashed". | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Most of the time, Jerry is shown to be an absolute sadist who provokes Tom or gets him into trouble just for laughs. All while wearing an open-mouth smile. This is in contrast to the classic shorts, in which Jerry was either just out for food, Tom went after him on his own, or one of Tom's often-abusive owners forced him to. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_2e528f4e | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Tom actually manipulates this in "Little Big Mouse". Seeming to get wise to the "smaller cuter underdog creature always wins" formula, he retaliates to Jerry stealing food by getting an even smaller and cuter-looking ant to steal it all back for him, and takes pleasure in watching Jerry convert into a bumbling pursuer for once. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Tom defends Tyke from the out-of-control tennisball shooter, but he misses one, and it slowly shoots up and barely hits Tyke, but Spike takes this as "playing rough" anyway. It also counts as Misplaced Retribution because it was Jerry who got the shooter out of control. | |

CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: In "A Life Less Guarded", Tom and Droopy are training to become lifeguards at a city pool. While Tom is sabotaging Droopy to get the job, Jerry is retaliating by sabotaging Tom to help Droopy. Tom then ends up needing to be saved when he gets stomach cramps after eating a whole pizza in the pool. Droopy rescues him and starts bouncing on his chest to squeeze the water out of his mouth, and even goes as far as to give him mouth-to-mouth. The look on Jerry's face is priceless. | |

Hollywood Prehistory: Oddly Zig-Zagged in "Pre-hysterics". The beginning of the episode seemingly has the non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs going extinct (via an ice age rather than a giant asteroid) allowing the mammals to take over just as in real life, but later on, Tom and Jerry deal with a Tyrannosaurus and a few Pteranodon show up, including one that snatches Tom away at the end of the episode. Are the Tyrannosaurus and Pteranodon survivors or something? | |

Continuity Nod: At the end of "Babysitting Blues", Tom and Jerry both leave (after not wanting to watch their sisters' kids any longer) to go fishing. Guess what they're doing in "Catfish Follies?" | |

Amicable Ants | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_a67fca91 | comment |
Amicable Ants: In "Little Big Mouse", Tom gives a cube of ice to a little ant who is nearly dying with the heat. Minutes later, Jerry takes advantage from the nap Tom and his owner are taking in front of the open fridge to snatch all the food for a picnic outside, causing Tom to be unfairly kicked out of the house. The little ant reappears to ask some of the food Jerry has stolen, but he refuses to share. She proceeds on stealing the food from under Jerry's nose until the humiliated mouse is forced to toss the towel. Then she shares it with Tom. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: "Beefcake Tom" has Jerry (who serves as the episode's Villain Antagonist) successfully making Tom, who was trying to get fit, buff. What happens next? Tom uses him for a dumbbell. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To a lot of Tex Avery shorts; in "A Life Less Guarded", the man auditioning Tom and Droopy for a lifeguard job is a caricature of Avery, and one of the few human characters whose face is fully visible in the series. His assistant Miss Shapely is a comely blonde, referring to Avery's penchant for gorgeous women in his pictures. | |

Race Lift | |
| Tom and Jerry Tales / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: The maid was brought back for the series, only she was recolored white and had a voice that sounded like a Southern accent (much like the actual maid, only her grammar isn't broken). The maid was a controversial character because she portrayed several black stereotypes that were widespread in the 1940s, so the decision to make her white was to make the modern-day shorts politically correct. | |

Depending on the Artist: In season 2, the show was animated by three overseas studios: Rough Draft Studios, Yearim Productions, and Toon City. Rough Draft episodes tended to be on-model but with less in-betweens, while Yearim and Toon City opted for fuller animation. | |
