I understand what you mean. When I was a kid, one of the most hated episodes was the episode, where Tom inherited one million dollars. There was a condition that if he hurts any animal, he loses the fortune. Jerry knew Tom can't hurt him, so he abused him and treated like dirt. This episode back then made me really hate Jerry and I couldn't blame Tom for his fury.

In early episodes Jerry was the successful antagonist and Tom the incompetent protagonist. Jerry was a vermin and Tom was just doing his job and protecting food and house. Later the writers turned Tom into a bully just so the viewers would root for Jerry. Also in popular story parodies like Robin Hood Jerry was always on side of the good guys and Tom on bad guys side.

I liked when Tom and Jerry were on same side, but episodes with baby were really annoying due to the baby sitter, who didn't take her job seriously and only used telephone. Eventually I lost interest in the show, so if any new series or dvd film appears, I don't care.
