It's no wonder we see so much degradation in society anymore. People ask why, well look at some of the cartoons and TV shows out there.

Its just people trying to claim the media makes kids do bad things when they are just bad parents. I used to watch cartoons with smoking drinking and anvils being dropped on heads, and I don't do any of those things.

wassman picked No, one complaint shouldn't have justified the withdrawl:
When those cartoons were on, I guess it was around the 40's or 50's. I remembered there were good wholesome shows Like "Leave It To Beaver" where the dad smokes on a pipe and reads a newspaper. Back then kids were not degraded and society was starting to change with the Baby Boom. So, cartoons are not at fault especially classic cat and mouse cartoons. When you look at society today, mainly news media (CNN) they glorify the bad influences and never the good - i.e. Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, O.J., Osama, and let's not forget how they replay Sept. 11th over-and-over again. The reason why kids are screwed up doing smoking and drugs is because society as a whole are starting to have screwed up values and you can witness that from corporations owning tv stations and media right up to the government itself. I have watched Tom and Jerry when I was a kid - I don't smoke and my parents at that time would whoop my ass if I smoked. Today, we have parents that let their 12yr old daughters dress up like whores (Bratz toys anyone) and don't really care if there kids smoke or do drugs or even don't bother to pay attention. So In Conclusion, Don't blame cartoons blame yourselves for not being parents and blame news media who feed negatives rather positives to viewers.

Yeah, cartoons are not to balme for these ridicolus notions. I mean, the Looney Tunes for instance is one of them that have these types of influences. Also when I see these cartoons, I never did any bad stuff like they did. I just laugh at hilarity! XD So, I agree too.

It's absolutely pathetic. How would smoking in a CARTOON make kids smoke? I grew up on Tom and Jerry and I think smoking in real life is disgusting and I'm NEVER going to try it. Kids probably wont even notice it! Theyre not gonna take up smoking just because a CARTOON CAT does!! Kids are more smart than you think, give them some credit!

How does this affect kids who watch the show?
i mean, when i started watching tom and jerry when i was younger i never tried smoking and i think in real life its disgusting but i wont ever try it.
kids who watch the show probly dont care why they show a scene where tom smokes.
they only watch it for the humor, not to attempt doing it.
so parents should get off their asses and teach their kids a little about it instead of blaming it on the creator or network.

fishypup picked No, one complaint shouldn't have justified the withdrawl:
Absurd. Smoking cartoon characters never even tempted me to try it. I've always been a fan of Joe Camel, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna take up smoking. I never would. It's the reason my grandpa passed away. But unless your kids imitate Tom to the point of running around trying to beat up mice and behaving in violent ways, you don't have to worry about this cartoon influencing them to light up. -.-

kyatto picked Yes, kids are impressionable:
i don't like smoking and i do not agree with what they had to show in the show with smoking. If kids see it they will try to copy it, that's how it really goes. Kids these days if they see their fav show doing it, they'll get the impression it is ok to do it to. So i think it was great that they did so. and for those who dont agree well it's obvous you're smokers too, so of course you disagree. not trying to fight here with anyone but really think of the kids. we dont need that kind of behavior on tv shows. (turn the world emo <3)

That is ridiculous!!! How many cartoons have people watched that have at least one person smoking? Yosemite Sam from Looney Tunes smokes and do you see him being cut out? If they were smoking some heroin and stated it then it would be different...But a cat smoking dirt from the ground and made words with the smoke...That's completely stupid!!! The show is for entertainment, not to promote kids to smoke to their hearts' content...

I always thought it was an illogical decision to remove something like that from a cartoon where constant physical violence and even fatal injuries are played entirely for laughs. Kids shouldn't be copying anything they see in this show, so I'm not sure why someone found the smoking scenes threatening to viewers but not the scenes where they put each other in ovens or eat explosives.
