Plot
The classic comedic duo of Tom and Jerry is back in brand new shorts that showcase the rambunctious rivalry fans know and love.
Both Tom and Jerry's character designs in this show are based on their appearances from the mid-1940s cartoons, in contrast to previous post-1986 Tom and Jerry shows where the cat and mouse were usually drawn based on their appearances from the late-1940s/early-1950s cartoons. This is very noticeable in Tom's character design, whom is drawn with a more rounded face and two whiskers twirled together like a moustache.
On a Roll and The House that Cat Built are the only episodes to be aired before the release of Tom and Jerry (2021 film).
The series' title card is reminiscent of the early-1940s Tom and Jerry title card as seen from "The Midnight Snack" (1941) up until "The Yankee Doodle Mouse" (1943).
This word appears without switching to the major word "Tom and Jerry cartoon" and small writing "Produced in Hollywood, U.S.A." or "Made in Hollywood, U.S.A.". Instead, only the word "end" appears, but in the Moroccan version the major word "Tom and Jerry cartoon" and a small inscription "Produced in Hollywood, U.S.A.".
