The classic Tom and Jerry cartoons were loaded with violence, the occasional embarrassing stereotype, and a whole lot of laughs. The 1970s Tom and Jerry television revival was pleasant, clean, and unbearably dull. Tom and Jerry Tales, recently created as part of the fall TV season for the revamped Kids WB! network, splits the difference; it maintains the slapstick lunacy of the vintage shorts but adds a modern gloss and friendliness that strips it of much of its giddy wickedness...For the record, my daughter, age six, enjoyed the show, but not with the same sort of glee with which she meets the classic cartoons. We both found this new version of Tom and Jerry to be cute, entertaining at times, but slightly missing that certain kick that gave the duo their flair...There's enough comedy here for a quick once-over, and younger kids are bound to ask for the occasional repeat viewing. - David Cornelius
