In this show, Tom and Jerry (who wears a red bow tie) spend various episodes roaming the world competing in sports, enduring on-the-job misadventures, running afoul of dastardly villains, solving mysteries and helping others. While the show doesn't use the slapstick chases and the violence central to the theatrical shorts (due to ABC's ban on any violence), the two do compete against each other in some episodes. This series was confirmed to be non-canon to Tom and Jerry.
