I've always loved Tom & Jerry cartoons, and have seen lots of them. I was born during the '60s, and many classic T&J cartoons were still being broadcast (I think probably usually as time-slot fillers following old family-friendly comedy movies such as from the Abbott & Costello or Blondie series) on t.v. during my childhood years.

Yes same here the cartoons used to fill a small gap before all the advertising took over.
