The Itchy & Scratchy of its time

I watched Tom & Jerry as a little boy, and enjoyed it a lot (I'm also a cat-lover.). It has a lot of funny moments (but was probably the most violent show I watched in my early years). Thanks to the Cartoon Network, I have the chance to see it again.

In addition, Tom & Jerry paved the way: Without this cat-and-mouse series, Bart Simpson wouldn't be watching 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show.'
