Busy, busy, buMany thanks to William and a few others for letting us know about this.

Speaking of TV Shows on DVD, they made another announcement for a new Tom and Jerry DVD: TOM AND JERRY'S GREATEST CHASES VOLUME 2. This is being released JUNE 16, 2009. I'm not entirely sure as to the purpose of this release as the Spotlight Collections pretty much took care of the cartoons (with the exception of I believe Mouse Cleaning).

Tom and Jerry Greatest Chases Volume 2 features 14 shorts directed by Hanna-Barbera that were originally released between 1943 and 1951. Two featured shorts, including Mouse Trouble (originally released in 1944) and Quiet Please! (originally released in 1945) became Oscar® winners for Best Short Subject, Cartoons in 1945 and 1946, respectively. Other shorts featured on the DVD include Sufferin' Cats!, Baby Puss, The Million Dollar Cat, The Bodyguard, Flirty Birdy, Cat Fishin', The Invisible Mouse, Heavenly Puss, Jerry and the Goldfish, Cue Ball Cat, Slicked-up Pup and Jerry's Cousin.
