Double Trouble Crow is the thirty-eighth episode of The Tom and Jerry Show (1975).
Synopsis[]
Corn farmers Tom and Jerry try to get rid of a crow who is intent on devouring their crops; it later turns out that they were dealing with a whole family of lookalike crows.
Plot[]
Corn Farmer Tom and Corn Farmer Jerry are plagued by the arrival of Judd, a persistent, corn-eating crow who is the continuous cause of a crisis in their cornfield. Tom and Jerry do everything in their power to get rid of the pest. They set traps, they net him, crate him and mail him, but each time they think he's gone, he mysteriously reappears right behind them. Finally, after they have put him into a rocket and watched it land on the moon, they surrender when he reappears perched on their telescope. To their dismay, he reveals that they have been pestered not by one crow, but by his whole family of look-alike cousins Fudd, Ed, Ted, Ned, Ben, Len, and Ken. They all fly south for the winter (Miami to be exact!), laughing at the futile farmers behind their back all the way!

Trivia[]
- This cartoon originally ended with Tom and Jerry collapsing in defeat rather than waving their white surrender flags.
- Tom's right paw is accidentally painted grey in one scene. This flub is previously seen in "The Sorcerer's Apprentices," which briefly sees both of Thomas's paws painted grey, and in "Beanstalk Buddies," in which his right paw is grey.
- Here, Tom & Jerry runs a corn farm. The very next cartoon, "Jerry's Nephew," sees them chasing their nephew through a chicken farm.
- This is the first New Tom & Jerry cartoon to reuse cues from the underscore of Hanna-Barbera's Dastardly And Muttley In Their Flying Machines (CBS, 1969-71). Also it recycles underscore first used in the It's the Wolf! and Autocat and Motormouse segments of Cattanooga Cats (the crow riding in a remote-controlled toy plane).
- This episode also contains a trap baited with a stick of dynamite, but no explosion is heard or implied. Could there be cut footage or storyboard elements?
