Jeannie (Tom and Jerry)

Jeannie is a average teenage girl, babysitter and student who "babysits" George and Joan's Baby in the Tom and Jerry MGM shorts: Busy Buddies and Tot Watchers. She is voiced by the late Janet Waldo.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) She is a big jerk to Tom, mostly because she keeps hitting him with a broom.
 * 2) Jeannie is not a good babysitter at all, because while the baby's parents are out, she regularly blabs on the telephone rather than doing her job.
 * 3) On that note, she is extremely neglectful towards the baby.
 * 4) She also hits Tom even when Tom is trying to keep the baby safe.
 * 5) When Tom and Jerry both do their best to bring the baby back home and put him in bed, Jeannie claims that the two were bothering the baby.
 * 6) She became one of the unfavorable characters in the franchise by fans, alongside with Tom's notorious owner from the infamous Gene Deitch-era.
 * 7) She didn't even care about Tom and Jerry going to jail at the end of "Tot Watchers".
 * 8) Jeannie was never exposed as being a terrible babysitter.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She rarely appears.
 * 2) Despite her sub-standard babysitting skills, Jeannie's very kind and friendly and has many friends in high school.
