The Looney Tunes Show

First off, this is a really good cartoon. Looney Tunes or not. The Looney Tunes live in the real world and live among regular people. Bugs Bunny has a house, his roommate Daffy Duck, his neighbor Yosemite Sam, and he some-what girlfriend Lola. It plays out like a sitcom, but a good one. The jokes are funny, it's very entertaining, and the characters feel real. However, not everyone will like this. The Looney Tunes Show isn't supposed to be a laugh out loud comedy. I would consider the jokes more like the game Portal or the movie Hot Fuzz. It's not supposed to make you laugh like crazy, and in the end, the show is better. Watch the originals and notice how long each episode is, about 6-12 minutes the most. You can't have laugh out loud jokes go on for almost half an hour, which is why Regular Show and Mad are only about 11 minutes. Then watch a funny sitcom like the King of Queens, Seinfeld, Everybody loves Raymond, or Yes, Dear. There are funny, but not laugh out loud funny,

But how to the characters match up? Well, every character is interesting and every character has character. Personally, I think the characters that did change were for the better. Witch Hazel isn't a psychopathic witch, but the mother or a monster. This allows the character to open more and be more interesting, even if you don't think so. Gossamer is now an 8-year child. I was a little skeptical first, but once you remember that Gossamer was originally a monster, you soon realize that character doesn't work so well in a sitcom. Finally, Lola Bunny. Give her the voice of Kristen Wiig from Saturday Night Live, and you get a character that's fun to watch. She talks miles of dialogue at a time and at points made me laugh so much I had to rewatch to hear the joke again. Now, not every character will appeal to everybody, but from what they have, it's really good.

But faithful is it to the originals? Honestly, not really. If the only reason you wanted to watch this cartoon was because you really liked the originals and was hoping for the something similar, you won't like it. Look at the new Rambo movie, the new Rocky movie, Duke Nukem Forever, Indiana Jones, and the Expendables. Things that would be really cool back then, won't necessarily be good now. If the general public today who never heard who the Looney Tunes were would watch an episode of the originals against the newer version, the newer version would be the better.

Don't go into this cartoon hoping for something faithful. Go into it hoping to find something entertaining. You might end up liking this if you gave it a try.

I see people often hate this cartoon just because it's premise is very different from the original show, but personally I love this. The character interactions are great and cause very funny moments to happen. The setting is just a simple little town which is also great and relaxing. While I enjoy watching the original Looney Tunes, I honestly love this show a tiny bit more

It had been a while since I had last seen a well produced, well written, and well drawn cartoon dating from this century. This show, while very different from the original Looney Tunes is very entertaining. The dialogs are extremely well written, the voices excellent and I found myself laughing many times. This is not the original Looney Tunes but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it still manages to stay witty and extremely funny. The only element of the show that I don't particularly like is the CGI Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner shorts. These should be even shorter. Otherwise, the show is pretty much flawless.

This show may have a 7.8/10 average rating, but the show gets so much hate for being "mediocre" or "unfunny". Why?

Anyways, this show is actually really funny and clever. The plots are excellent because they are interesting and sometimes funny! The animation is pretty good, but the only animation that is mediocre is the Roadrunner sequences. The characters are actually really funny, especially Bugs and Daffy. The songs or "Merry melodies" are more of a mix. Some are catchy and fun, while others are mediocre. Making the Looney tunes a sitcom doesn't make anything bad. For Looney tunes fans, it may not be as good, but watch the "Road runner and Willie coyote because they are so true to the original.. The show may not be the most original and the old ones were better, but still check this show,out. It's way better than teen titans go, the world of gumball, adventure time, Steven universe, uncle grandpa, and Clarence. Really funny show.

Total 8/10

First I'd like to state I'm a huge fan of the Golden Age of Cartoons, particularly Warner Bros. and Walter Lantz (Woody Woodpecker) studios. I've purchased all of the Golden Collection DVD's and both PLatinum Collection Blue Ray releases. That being said, I LOVE this update. We all should realize that nobody will EVER be able to come close to the genius of the originals. Those cartoons were created in a completely different time under completely different circumstances with completely different artists. If they tried to rehash the old style it just wouldn't work...

So...they did the smartest thing they could have which is to reset the franchise into a modern, sitcom style while paying homage to the original characters and the original spirit. If you read every venom-spewing review here you'll notice one common denominator: everyone complains that the new show is "different" than the original. I would bet my house that if the show tried to rehash the past and recreate the old style, these SAME haters wouldn't like it either. Well you can't please everyone and judging by the ratings more than enough of us "get it". I for one love Daffy's character and I really like the way Porky is wishy washy...Lola Bunny is hysterical and Foghorn's character update fits his classic persona, only updated for modern times.

Bravo! Now, when will we see a new episode? We've been stuck on Episode 10 of season 2 since Mid-December...
