itchy and scrachy in the simpsons was veary violent. they should make episodes of thet!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, it’d lose its comic genius after a couple of episodes. Cat and mouse fight, mouse has unlimited supply of weaponry, cat doesn’t, mouse wins. :rolleyes:

At least T&J had some kind of inventiveness about their mayhem.

In a similar vein, Happy Tree Friends. They started off as 30-60 second shorts where, basically, the characters just got killed off in a variety of amusing ways. Now they’ve done episodes that are four or five minutes long – it’s hard to string out that kind of violence, and give it some semblance of a storyline!!

I don’t think Tom ever won – that I’m aware of, anyway! He and Jerry did call it a draw a few times, though! :rolleyes:

Those were back when cartoons were about entertainment – not money….
