Tom and Jerry best cartoon of all time ?

Have to say I think I am the only person on the planet that doesn't find Tom and Jerry funny. Dangermouse was MUCH better but also much more British.

Tom and Jerry top favourite cartoon poll

Tom and Jerry have been voted the favourite cartoon characters of adults in the UK.

The long-running cat-and-mouse caper came tops in a poll to discover which animated shows grown-ups most enjoyed as children.

Scooby-Doo came second in the poll for the TV cartoon channel Boomerang, followed by Dangermouse, the only UK production to be named.

Dangermouse, featuring the eyepatch-wearing secret agent and his hamster sidekick Penfold, started out as a loose parody of James Bond and was the first British cartoon to break into the US TV market. Production stopped in 1992.

Top Cat, leader of a gang of Manhattan alley cats, came fourth, followed by The Flintstones in fifth place.

Bugs Bunny came sixth and Popeye seventh, says The Guardian.
