  1. It cracks me up how many Miranda parodies there were back in the day. I did a post about it a while back with a bunch of clips. There were so many that I actually had to leave out a couple!

  2. Love these early Tom & Jerrys, have recently watched ALL of them and have subsequently been humming You've Got to Sing Before Breakfast for the last month or two.

  5. @K - Cool, I'll go back and check out that post.

    @Miss Rayne - Yep, the songs & music in these can be really catchy. I love how they have so many "baby" themed songs in this one. Just brilliant.

    @Wild Celtic - I've loved T&J since I was a little kid. "Baby Puss" I haven't seen it in years, and it is still funny.

    @ Amanda - I know! It's a good one where Jerry doesn't "win".
