Tom and Jerry's typical antics in a modern-day urban setting.A short can take place in a number of different settings: Granted, this could be due to the latter experiencing a case of Adaptational Badass. Spike, somewhat as he sometimes ends up losing to Tom.He does seem to get better luck in later seasons however.

Butch now has to rely more on underhanded tactics to best Tom similar to the latter's ordeals with Spike in the original shorts. Here, he hardly manages to compete with Tom and is constantly beaten up by him, Jerry, and Spike. Butch the cat in the original shorts (and most other adaptations he's in) frequently defeats Tom in many of their fights and competitions.Due to Spike being made aware of Jerry's role is his and Tyke's harassment, Jerry is shown having to rely much more on his wits to avoid Tom, as he can no longer rely on Spike as a guaranteed source of protection. This often results in him brutalizing both Tom and Jerry or Spike teaming up with Tom to turn on Jerry if he knows Jerry is completely in the wrong. In this show however, Spike often finds out if Jerry uses him to mess with his rival and is more aware of Jerry's role in disturbing him and Tyke. Spike in the original shorts seemed blissfully unaware of when Jerry would take advantage of him to defeat Tom.This doesn't stop him from beating them up every now and then, though. Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Spike has become less abrasive than in the original cartoons and more friendly towards Tom and Jerry.Examples of this include "Slinging in the Rain" and "Someone’s in the Kitchen with Mynah". Jerry and Nibbles sometimes antagonize Spike and Tyke intentionally this time around.He is not always like this though and can still be likable (like in "Spike Gets Skooled"). He is also shown to have more of an ego towards himself and dogs, like in "Picture Perfect", "Anger Mismanagement", and in the aforementioned "Tic Tac Do'h" and "Baby Blues". In this show, he acts more like a mean, aggressive bully towards Tom and even Jerry at times, attacking them frequently even unprovoked, like in "Dental Case", "Tic Tac Do'h" and "Baby Blues". Spike in the original shorts mostly only attacked Tom when either Tom provoked it, he was hurting Jerry, Spike was a guard dog guarding a place, or Spike thought Tom did something but it was actually Jerry but he didn't know that.He's certainly much stronger than he was in the original shorts as he doesn't need a magic potion or rage induced adrenaline to carry around Tom with relative ease and move heavy objects like a fridge. He's also more competent and stronger than Butch this time around who was previously a rival that often got the better of him in the original shorts. On occasion, Tom ends up getting the better of Spike by the end of an episode and is more likely to best Jerry than before. However, this may be because of Adaptation Relationship Overhaul. In this show, however, Tom has become less likely to deal with Spike's stuff and is more likely to fight and deal with him head-on. In the original theatrical shorts, when it comes to Spike, Tom would rather use backhanded tactics to deal with him due to the difference in power dominance.Accordion Man: Meathead becomes one courtesy of a Spike beatdown.Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Toodles Galore and her two baby sisters wear bows on their heads, their mom wears a hat and a pearl necklace, Tyke the puppy wears a collar, and Marvin the Fat Cat wears a fez.Abusive Parents: How does Tom's mother respond when she thinks he ate one pie? Kicking him out.Not to be confused with the 1975 series, The Tom and Jerry Show.
