Itchy and Scratchy are a super-violent cartoon cat and mouse duo in the style of Tom and Jerry featured on the Krusty the Clown Show.
The show is produced by Itchy & Scratchy International. The company was founded by Roger Meyers Sr, a controversial WWII filmmaker who made a career out of violent cartoons. Roger Meyers Jr has since taken over the company since the death of his father.
A short-lived spin-off of the original cartoon series was titled the "Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour", which featured the original characters Uncle Ant, Disgruntled Goat, and Ku Klux Klam. While the spin-off was cancelled, merchandise featuring these characters is still available. Itchy & Scratchy International's other characters include Flatulent Fox and Manic Mailman, but it is unclear whether these characters appeared in the Itchy & Scratchy & Friends Hour.
During a dip in the perenially popular show's ratings, a new dog character was added, named Poochie. Homer Simpson provided the voice for Poochie, who only co-starred with the cat and mouse for two episodes before his poorly-devised character was retired from the show.
Briefly, during the popularity of the Krusty Show's competitor The Gabbo Show, the rights to air new episodes and the back catalog of Itchy and Scratchy went to the latter, forcing Krusty to replace it with a bizarre Eastern Europe cat and mouse cartoon "Worker and Parasite".
During the early days of The Simpsons, Itchy and Scratchy were originally intended to only briefly parody Tom and Jerry, but their cartoon shorts proved very popular and became a regular part of the show.
