I was raised on re-runs of the old Merry Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoons, and frankly the 80's/90's/00's versions of Bugs were just boring and unfunny to me. At first the drawing style of Wabbit was off-putting, reminded me of Ren & Stimpy a bit, but I think it really gave them a fresh start. If they had continued with the Space Jam style the visual gags they used this time would not pan out.It is cool to see Bugs in modern situations, although I don't think in 30 years that people will find the pop culture stuff that interesting. Or maybe they will, who knows?And I'll say it like I see it: NOT missing Daffy or the rest of the gang yet. Daffy had evolved into Cranky Duck and his angry attitude isn't missed. If they started writing him again like they did in the 50's, then maybe I would change my mind.I watched this with my 4 year old son (about the same age I remember watching the original) and we were both laughing. I don't think I've laughed at a Bugs Bunny cartoon since I was under 10 years old, but this show is that funny. Leave your preconceptions at the door and enjoy it for what it is. I did!

I have always been a fan of looney tunes and even "looney tunes show" which i thought was such a good show but they canceled that show in favor of "wabbit" which is such a step down from the looney tunes showWabbit is just a unfunny version of bugs bunny that after 10mins of watching i had to turn off in disbelief that they canceled the looney tunes show and replaced it with this If you are a fan of looney tunes then i would seriously warn you to give this a miss as you will be deeply disappointed that they canceled the other show for thisi would recommend searching online for some old looney tunes or better yet the looney tunes show and just watch that because it was a more funny and such a better cartoon

I simply did not like the previous attempt to bring Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang to the public, which of course was "The Looney Tunes Show". Putting the gang in an (unfunny) sitcom format was a really bad decision, as well as betraying what the characters were like in the original theatrical shorts. When I heard about "Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production", my hopes were raised slightly, since the show promised to recreate the format of the old theatrical shorts.It's a good thing my hopes weren't raised too high. Now, I will say that the show is an improvement over "The Looney Tunes Show". It has some chuckles here and there, for one thing. Also, I quite like the background art, which both manages to reference what was in the theatrical shorts while putting a new but appealing spin to it. However, apart from those things, I'm hard pressed to find praise for the show. The character design is grotesque at times (Yosemite Sam, for one thing, looks almost nothing like what he was in the theatrical shorts.) Also, the show seems to be using the same storyline over and over of Bugs encountering someone who deserves his comeuppance and proceeds to give the person just that. Also, the timing is often off. There were a few shorts on the show that MIGHT have worked had they been directed by people like Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson, or Friz Freleng. But as they are, they play out in an awkward way.If this show gets renewed for another season, besides the objections I listed in the previous paragraph that I would like to be corrected, I would suggest to the producers tackle the other Looney Tunes characters on the show. Make some Sylvester and Tweety shorts, some Road Runner and Coyote, or any of the other characters. That would help the show not to be so one note and give some badly needed variety. Though to be honest, I've learned not to get my hopes up.

After the really innovative and very funny The Looney Tunes Show, the Wabbit feels, in both art and writing, like a step back to the nostalgic old Looney Tunes shorts. The show has short, 11-minute long episodes, composed of two 5 minute-long shorts. Bugs is back to living in a rabbit hole, often sharing his home with his friend, the oddly not-speaking Squeaks the Squirrel. In appearance, most of the characters got redesigned - frankly, not for the better. They try to harken back to the old Chuck Jones era, but in effect, look more like the 1990's Chuck Jones era of Tom and Jerry, not as Looney Tunes. Plot-wise, pretty much all the shorts have the same setup - random antagonists is being an annoyance to Bugs, usually without a rhyme or reason, and generally being a major troll. Bugs suffers a bit, then he retaliates using his patented tools like disguises, dynamite, and generally fooling his usually not terribly bright opponents to do harm to themselves - The End.Therein lies the problem - this is the plot of pretty much 90% of the episodes (save for a few special ones like where Bugs has to share his home with an oddly childish-Gossamer-like Bigfoot). Rinse and repeat, and it gets very, very old after the third episode already. Another problem is the nature of the antagonists. While Yosemite Sam (who oddly gained weight) and Wile E. Coyote (now Bugs' snotty know-it-all neighbour) are recurring foes, most of the time the enemies are one-shot and not really interesting characters with very little character development. Often, they feel rather out of place too from the show which is set in the modern world, like oddly cylinder-shaped tiny ninjas, a fox version of Marvel's Black Widow, a polar bear-riding barbarian, or even the Death of Rabbits himself, who has fallen a long way from his truly terrifying appearance in Watership Down. It is odd because even after 13 episodes, there is not sign of other famous Looney Tunes characters - Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, and especially Daffy Duck or Porky Pig. Perhaps they are getting their own shows, but I find that unlikely.Maybe it's just me, but in this day and age... I find the slapstick is no longer enough to entertain. The Wabbit does not fall into trap of Tom and Jerry, where you eventually start to sympathize with poor Tom when Jerry torments him without provocation, Itchy and Scrathy style - here the villains all get what's coming to them - but that doesn't make the experience feel less empty. I am not saying every funny cartoon needs to be Monty Python levels cerebral, but after a truly unique show like the Looney Tunes Show, I cannot say I find this sort of humour a step back, and at best, just average.
