Now that I have kids, I'm seeing a lot shows that I used to watch as a child, like "Tom and Jerry".
Tom and Jerry started in 1940 made by William Hanna and Joeseph BArbera.
William and Joseph went on to make/produce a large number of different cartoons. They nearly dominated Saturday morning at one point.
It is slapstick comedy based around two main characters in the title as well as other characters.
