Tell you what's not been on for years. A good Tom & Jerry cartoon on BBC1.
Oh yes a Fred Quimby one would be good.
Have to say I caught a 'Tom and Jerry Tales' cartoon last week, and for a modern creation I was impressed with how similar in technique, style and story it was to the originals.
None of this updated drawings lark with characters wearing clothes. It really did have all the subtle sound and animation effects you'd expect in the old cartoons - even the voice of Spike seemed genuine.
However, as I can only base my judgement on seeing one episode - I could be disappointed by the others...!

Well, I do know from viewing a couple of episodes that they've brought back the black maid from the older run as Tom's owner, complete with the Southern accent - only difference is that she's now white! And she appears to have a name too - "Mrs. Two Shoes". I'm sure the black maid used to be nicknamed something like "Mammy Two Shoes" (off-screen, of course) but I'm really not sure.

I too am impressed with them and can vouch all are good, while having modern themes, are faithful to the style of the originals both in storyline, slapstick and animation.
