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. However, it looked like they were stealing the baby, and wouldn’t you mistake someone for stealing a baby at times?
 * 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 babysits, so the baby is safe most of the time.
 * 2) Despite her sub-standard babysitting skills, Jeannie's very kind and friendly and has many friends in high school.
