[{"role": "system", "content": "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 and Jerry, and many recurring characters, based around slapstick comedy. In its original run, Hanna and Barbera produced 115 \"Tom and Jerry\" shorts for Metro-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 1957, 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. Three more shorts were produced, \"\" in 2001, \"The Karate Guard\" in 2005, and \"A Fundraising Adventure\" in 2014, making a total of 164 shorts. Various shorts have been released for home media since the 1990s. A number of spin-offs have been made, including the television series \"The Tom and Jerry Show\" (1975), \"The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show\" (1980\u201382), \"Tom and Jerry Kids\" (1990\u201393), \"Tom and Jerry Tales\" (2006\u201308), and \"The Tom and Jerry Show\" (2014\u2013present).\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Tom and Jerry cartoons were the best weren't they, did you used to watch them when you were a kid?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes sure, I loved them! even when I always forgot who was Tom and who was Jerry, LOL"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Tom was definitely the cat, as he was a tom cat and I like cats so it was always an appealing cartoon for me, the mouse got a raw deal though didnt he!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Why, he always outsmarted Tom, of course."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah so he did, thanks for reminding me, it was the underdog always wins scenario. You know 115 shorts were made."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes Jerry always seemed cool and on top of things.  I though there would be more of them, they seemed to play non-stop during my childhood."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes he was a cool dude. The carttons were churned out by MGM from 1940 to 1958, a long time, so many to see I guess."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That old! I didn't know.  But true there were some old fashion things there, like women  climbing in chairs when the saw Jerry, haha"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Women in the 1950's were notoriously frightened of mice you see. There were spin offs in the 1970s like 'The Tom and Jerry Show' but I think these weren't a hit like the old ones!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Original are usually the best!   but I am not sure which I watched more, probably the 1970s ones."}]
