Tom & Jerry Kids was the 3rd of Hanna-Barbera's 4 series that rebooted classic characters as youths. The madcap, slapstick chase is on again, and Jerry has his red bowtie back from the 1975 Tom & Jerry series. However, we won't be seeing Jerry in this sample, as "Wild World of Bowling" is, for all intents & purposes, a Tom solo story, in which he takes on a different mouse, one that, according to narrator Gary Owens (ex-Space Ghost), was raised by wolves.
Edit, 7/31/22: Had to change the video. We now have a 3 minute sampler of "Wild World of Bowling":
At one point, the series aired 6 days a week, as Fox wanted to maximize the availability of all of their children's shows, so the schedules were flexed out. Good thing.
Rating: A.

I would not consider "Tom & Jerry Kids" and the other programs broadcast by FOX "children's shows", as they all should appeal to folks of any age. I would not consider any show a children's show or an adult's show.
It's people like you, Mario, that drove Fox out of the Saturday Morning cartoon business.
