Being a long-time fan of the original Looney Tunes, I was hyped to see how these characters would come out in a sitcom-like show with consistent character development. And I wasn't let down the least bit!I love this show and how it provides a fresh take on the Looney Tunes roster and puts them in a continuous narrative that allows us to connect with them on a different level compared to the originals. On the most part, the characters are the same or very similar to their original counterparts, but they are now put in a real-world situation where their antics are to be enjoyed as always!This show is very misunderstood and underrated. In an age where we can accept some (but not too much) of the inspiring changes to major superhero characters we all know and love in the MCU for example, why not see this in the same vain?

Let me preface this by saying I spent a large amount of my childhood watching television. A fair amount of that was spent on the Cartoon Network, where I watched a LOT of the old Looney Tunes cartoons. I loved and was absorbed by the universe. Bugs Bunny is one of my all-time favorite animated characters.It seems like a lot of people don't realize the amount of times that the Looney Tunes characters were reworked to fit into a completely new world. Obviously they did it with Space Jam, and made cameos in Roger Rabbit. There's been countless commercials where they could be construed as 'out of character.' They were worked into icons of World War II. They were portrayed as actors in their own universe. They've been in animated Broadway plays and operas. There's been things like The Bugs Bunny Show, Duck Dodgers, and even Baby Looney Tunes.So, why is it then that having them placed into an animated sitcom-style show seems so completely crazy? The short answer is: it's not.The Looney Tunes Show actually does do a very good job working the source material of their characters and the slapstick cartoonish comedy into a 'real world' style setting. Again, being in the real world is not a new concept for the Looney Tunes. The writing is actually quite sharp and clever. Bugs and Daffy reprise their roles as the two figureheads of the Looney Tunes as a whole, with their characterizations mostly intact. Bugs plays the cool, calm and collected straight man to Daffy's over-the-top screwball ideas and antics. Daffy is as self-absorbed and greedy as ever, and lives with Bugs — who's made a comfortable living off his invention of the carrot peeler.However, almost every other character in the show's depiction is hit-or-miss. Porky continues to be the unfortunate folly for Daffy's spiteful nature. He's a very proper, well-mannered pillar of society, yet severely lacking in self-confidence. Tina Russo, a new character, is a duck with a real name and Daffy's love interest. Tina was actually one of the well-made characters in the show. She has a no-nonsense, street-wise personality with a strong sense of self and keeps Daffy in line. She's got an enjoyable deadpan sense of humor and comes off as very relatable.Then, we have … Lola. This was the biggest, most jarring change to any of the characters on the show and one that I felt was severely lacking. Lola herself knocks an entire star off of my rating for the show because of how often she appears. Lola's initial depiction in Space Jam was that of an attractive and seductive bunny who just so happens to be very good at playing basketball. While she wasn't the best conceived character in history, she still had some redeeming qualities in her exaggerated feminist nature and contempt for being degraded or disrespected. Lola in TLTS is not that at all.Lola in this show is a bubbly, reckless, hyperactive airhead with a borderline psychotic personality and severe attachment issues when it comes to Bugs. She's unwanted and very abrasive, by both characters in the show and the fandom. I thought of a couple different ways they could've handled Lola's character. They are the following: A) Lola Bunny is a stock market trader or a corporate CEO. She has a strong personality but can be short-tempered and explosive at times, which is more in line with her Space Jam portrayal. She is almost constantly on her cell phone chatting to business partners or investors, and has little time for anything or anyone else — namely Bugs. Bugs frequently tries to get her attention but typically goes unnoticed by the extremely busy Lola. There's quite a few gags I can think of with this sort of character.B) Lola is similar to her TLTS character with a critical change. She is now a bubbly, energetic, *smart* young lady. Typically seen as calm and knowledgeable, she is the other characters' go-to person for advice or to simply act as a shoulder to cry on. She can have a relaxing hobby, like tending to a garden or does altruistic things like caring for injured animals. In this way, Bugs is a lot more smitten with her, but because of how virtuous she seems by comparison to him he's not sure how to go about telling her how he feels.I really feel as though character shifts like these for Lola would've made the series much more enjoyable and perhaps more relatable.As for the animation, I personally saw nothing wrong with the updated designs they made for season one. It helped to cement the Looney Tunes' presence in a whole new time period of 2011, versus how they looked in 1950. I liked it a lot — it gave the show a fresh, new take on the characters to enhance their new status as citizens of real world suburbia. At the same time, they were cute and never really lost the charm of their original designs. I couldn't believe it when they caved into the complaints (mostly from people that didn't even watch or care for the show to begin with) that the characters didn't look 'Looney Tunes' enough and changed back to the originals. It took a lot of value away from the show as a whole and a lot of its original, updated allure was gone.All in all, The Looney Tunes Show is a fun twist on the standard Looney Tunes formula. Sure, not every episode is amazing and sometimes the 22-minute running time can feel a little long. However, it's still a severely under-appreciated show with glowing charm that's entertaining for both kids and adults. It's only a terrible shame what some people did to derail, damage, scorn and ultimately cancel this show. It ended far too soon and will be sorely missed.That's all, folks.

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.Story 8/10 Animation 7/10 Characters 9/10 Songs 6/10Total 8/10

seriously what is this the year of crapping on everyones childhood cartoons? man i know Hollywood has long since run out of ideas but really what is with all the crappy remakes/reboots of old shows that crap all over their good names? though while this isn't the worst one its no where near the talent of the original especially when you watch them back to back. the new one just isn't funny at all. it has absolutely no spark laughs or anything good about it compared to the original. also the little awful shorts with marvin martian and sam were god awful crap. oh and the commercial just shows they don't know how to write and it constantly reminds me of the writing errors. for example if no one noticed it has bugs saying you need me to make you look like a fool. it should say you "don't" need me to make you look like a fool. also too much focus on bugs and daffy. all the other staple characters haven't even been on it yet. seriously just let the shows stay dead please leave them alone and come up with something else. any rerun of the show is better than this crap
