The Tom & Jerry Show (international reruns) Immediately following the end of the original ABC run, these cartoons were edited within the main and end title credits and added to run with theatrical-era MGM
Tom and Jerry cartoons from 1940 to 1967 for
syndication by MGM until 1986 (H-B retained ancillary rights to the
Mumbly and
Grape Ape segments, with syndication rights to those segments going to
Worldvision Enterprises from 1979 until 1991). Some independent television stations in the 1980s have aired the
Tom and Jerry segments without the
Mumbly and
Grape Ape segments in their syndicated
Tom and Jerry package as part of some stations' lineup, such as
WFLD in
Chicago and
WYAH in
Portsmouth, Virginia. Since 1986, it has been rebroadcast on
TBS,
Cartoon Network,
Boomerang and Canada's
Teletoon and
Teletoon Retro (the former three networks are part of
Warner Bros. Discovery's
Warner Bros. Discovery Networks, which
Turner Broadcasting System purchased the pre-1986 MGM library in 1986 and Hanna-Barbera in 1991). The cartoons have been shown with the main and end title credits intact on
TBS, the Boomerang streaming service, and
Cartoon Network. From 1985 until 1995,
ATN, later
Seven Network (the Australian "American Broadcasting Company") aired the show in Australia. == Home media ==
