While I'm young till now I really love watching Tom & Jerry and Popeye. But, the animator "Gene Deitch" is passed away on April 16, 2020 it's really sad news. But, your masterpiece will never end, I'm still can watch it now, next day, next month or even next year. Thank you has made my childhood happy.
Rest in Peace Eugene Merril Deitch (August 8, 1924 – April 16, 2020)
We never got Tom & Jerry when I was growing up in rural Alberta. I always saw it on the TVs of friends I visited in the city. Too much violence for today's TV though.
RIP.
Itchy & Scratchy inside the Simpsons is a parody of Tom & Jerry, it adds the gore that would naturally occur from such violence, its like a honest version of it.
I did grew up watching endless re-runs of Tom & Jerry, I think one doesn't stop to think too much about it when one is so young. Its like watching some action movie, plot doesn't matter.
The TV is obsolete, everything is streamed on demand now. Back then you had no choice or say in the matter, and i seem to recall it was like half to one hour daily and that was it. Today you could marathon them all nonstop if you wanted.
Like it or not the world is different. He had a good run, 96 years is no joke. His works reached audiences all over the world.
If you ever saw a video game console called "Nintendo", you might think it came with Super Mario Bros. Actually that was the late US release, the original console in Japan came with: Popeye (a flawless port from the Arcade). So the Japanese kids got an American character while the American kids got a Japanese character...
