Trivia
- The series takes place after the events of the 2021 film as Tom and Jerry are now residing in Manhattan. However, for unknown reasons, the live-action characters introduced in the aforementioned film such as Kayla and Terrance are absent.
- This is also the first television series in the franchise that is based on a motion picture (not counting Tom and Jerry: Shiver Me Whiskers, which served as a pilot for Tom and Jerry Tales, since the events of the film are not referenced in that series at all).
- All of the episodes take place in New York City, except for "Swiss Cuckoo", which takes place somewhere in Switzerland.
- The working title for the series was Tom and Jerry in the Big City.
- The series shares the same animation style from The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), mostly from the second season onwards. Plus, all episodes were directed by Darrell van Citters.
- In contrast to previous Tom and Jerry shows whose episodes had varying themes and settings depending on the episodes, this show is mostly fixed to a same theme and setting of New York City, mainly due to it being a spin-off/follow-up series to the 2021 film.
- Unlike the previous Tom and Jerry cartoons, the series is the first to fully show the human adult characters' both upper bodies and faces.
- It also shares the same thing from the 1975 series.
- For the first time since Tom and Jerry Tales, Toodles Galore is depicted in her original design as she first appeared in Springtime for Thomas instead of Toots' design from The Mouse Comes To Dinner.
- This is the first series in the franchise where Tuffy and Meathead do not speak in any of their appearances so far.
- This is currently the latest installment in the franchise to be majorly produced in America.
- The next one after it was intended to be Tom and Jerry Time, but due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, it was cancelled. The two later installments would be produced in Asian countries.
