These are the ones during our child hood hence we watched them all the time on TV or VHS.
My dad likes the ones of his time.

Today there are entire movies though I do some times watch them but do not enjoy them. Some of the Tom and Jerry cartoons have been put under ban as they encourage smoking.

In India they used to come ON Sunday Morning when we had ONLY one channel

(And Spiderman came on Saturday evening )

We used to wait for them and It was an 30 minutes laugh riot

It was 10-15 mints in the morning and then in the evening on PTV. The cartoons would be on a rotation and comprised Hackle and Jackle, Penguin, Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse, Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, Woody Wood Packer and Tom & Jerry.

They could play any of theses so we did not know which cartoon we are going to be viewing on that day. In the 90's when the second Pakistani channel opened NTM they introduces 30 mints of Cartoons which were Transformers, Bionic Six, Swat Kats, Animal Planet etc.

However in a few years time NTM was sold to SPTV which introduced Cartoon Network now we could watch 24 hrs any cartoon we liked. This happened in 1993-1994.

I am not sure I liked them as much when I was a child, as I like them now. May be as a child I didn't understand many of its episodes. Lolzz

The theme and characters also change with the producers.
The ones produced by Fred Quimby had Jerry, Tom, the bull dog, and jerry's guests.
Then there are other stories where Tom and Jerry go to space etc, such stories were,however, produced by others.

I am talking of the days where there was ONLY DD national

By the time I had started to take interest in cartoons, there was already cable TV available, with lots of channels. Though our cable tv was disconnected when my brother was in 10th. Lolz
That's when I switched to DD metro and I do remember DD national airing chitrahaar and stuff.

There is an interesting story regarding the very first time I saw DD in the late 80's. I was visiting my grand parents home which was in Lahore where it is a local channel, upon my arrival my uncle looked at the time and switched on DD which I had never heard about where I lived. On this the cartoon that was being aired was Tom and Gerry so I asked my father how come there are two channels on this TV and my father goes and says this is because your uncle works in PTV so he has a special channel specially for those children that do no visit often.

Tom and Jerry is an American animated series of short films created in 1940, by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It centers on a rivalry between its two title characters, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse, and many recurring characters, based around slapstick comedy.

In its original run, Hanna and Barbera produced 114 Tom and Jerry shorts forMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1940 to 1958. During this time, they won seven Academy Awards for Animated Short Film, tying for first place with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies with the most awards in the category. After the MGM cartoon studio closed in 1958, MGM revived the series with Gene Deitch directing an additional 13 Tom and Jerry shorts for Rembrandt Films from 1961 to 1962. Tom and Jerry then became the highest-grossing animated short film series of that time, overtaking Looney Tunes. Chuck Jones then produced another 34 shorts with Sib-Tower 12 Productions between 1963 and 1967. Two more shorts were produced, The Mansion Cat in 2001 and The Karate Guard in 2005, for a total of 163 shorts. Various shorts have been released for home media since the 1990s.
