Thoughts on the Looney Tunes Show

[DragonSJG]

So in 2011, we were introduced to another incarnation of the Looney Tunes

This was more of a sitcom style approach to the Looney Tunes and with all the Lola Bunny discourse, people say they liked her depiction on this show and in general, so overall, what do you think of this show? I didn't mind the show but I felt Daffy was too stupid at times

 

[UnpopularBlargh]

It was fun if nothing special.

 

[vypek]

I loved it and wished it went longer. I thought it was a really great iteration in the series. The Merry Melodies were hit or miss.

 

[Zalman]

It's honestly one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen.

 

[Tigerfog]

Daffy was absolutely insufferable IMO but I liked everything else about that show.
I might've liked it even better if he wasn't so obnoxious.

 

[ClickyCal']

It was great, favorite CN show of the entire decade. Honestly was just hitting its stride when it was canceled. Lola stole the show, but all the characters were good. It's definitely the best iteration of Porky too.

 

[Armouredpriest]

It did give us this musical gem:

 

[Platy]

it was good but have some REALLY inspired moments like the duck wizard above

 

[Tokyo_Funk]

It was funny yes, but Daffy was pretty annoying in the best of times.

 

[jwk94]

It's the most I've ever enjoyed the Looney Tunes.

I feel like they were definitely writing him to be very Costanza. I honestly liked how over the top annoying they made him for the most part. It was just an exaggeration of his classic character.

 

[sibarraz]

I dont know, sometimes the humor felt odd to me, like I dont really felt confortable watching the Looney Tunes in Seinfield/Friends

 

[RadioJoNES]

Pretty good

 

[Maximus2560]

Better than the Animaniacs reboot

 

[deimosmasque]

First. They fixed Lola by actually giving her a character.

Also obligatory:



Second. The sitcom format really worked.

Third. Added Daffy was so annoying but in a good way.

Fourth. The CGI Roadrunner cartoons were really uninspired.

Fifth. Tina Russo deserves more love.

Sixth. Granny as a WW2 spy is the best episode.

Lastly. It was gone way too soon and deserved 3 more seasons.

 

[ClickyCal']

You know what sucks? Petunia was added right at the end of season 2 and was going be in way more of season 3 with Porky.

 

[icyflamez96]

The best Looney Tunes show. It was great and such a shame it only ended after 2 seasons.

Sitcom Looney Tunes is the best form of Looney Tunes it turns out.

 

[Nightwing123]

Underrated I really enjoyed it. Honestly my favorite version of the Looney Tunes.

 

[Mesoian]

It had its moments. The softer low key jokes were usually very sharp while the longer, more established, timing based jokes usually fell flat due to somewhat poor voice acting and direction.

But yeah, good show. Probably would have been better with a smaller crew.

 

[ClickyCal']

Still one of the best

 

[Brinbe]

fucking hilarious and the perfect way to bring an animated institution into the current century. really good characterization

 

[Ariakon44]

I thought it was great but wasn't surprised when it went away after a few seasons. It had a slow pace for a cartoon show and took a while to find its footing.

 

[DragonSJG]

this is hilarious

 

[Mesoian]

this is hilarious

Man, I forgot they did an entire "They live" fight sequence.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Great show, I'd put it on par with the Duck Dodgers show.

 

[Keym]

They really need to revive this on Max.

 

[-Peabody-]

It was great except for the music videos they decided to shoehorn in during every episode.

 

[fontguy]

When it was brand new, I was pretty frustrated and confused about the decision to make Looney Tunes into a sitcom about modern domestic life. I was excited for a new LT revival, and LTS was the complete antithesis of that.

I eventually grew to enjoy it quite a bit—after it was cancelled, when it started airing after Toonami every week, removed from all my expectations and desires. There's some really good stuff in there, and I think it would be received more warmly if it was made today.

 

[Akainu]

Love it.

 

[TheMadTitan]

An underrated classic just like Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Both didn't live as long as they should've.

I agree with everything you said but especially the last part.
Great show, gone way too soon. Format really worked and I was pretty dissapointed with the follow up "Wabbit" because of how much I loved this show.

 

[caliph95]

 

[Pelleas]

Absolutely loved it. Favorite was Daffy becoming an ass-kicking marine who saved Bugs who was stuck in a Bolivian prison.

This was me, except I finished watching it on HBO Max recently and outside Daffy being a little too mean at times, I loved it.

I still say Duck Dodgers is still the best modern reinterpretation of Looney Tunes characters. Part of it was I really liked the late Joe Alaskey's Daffy and Marvin and I got used to it, but Jeff Bergman's Daffy kinda soured me at first.

 

[ClickyCal']

So at least something good came out of the Lola twitter raging. Would be great if it could be revived.

 

[Ruisu]

It's probably the best thing done with the Looney Tunes up till now.

 

[captmcblack]

They need to revive this.

In my opinion, it's the only way these characters can exist and matter in conventional pop culture (like they should, as they're legendary). This was a great new way to experience the Looney Tunes, and it was cut down too early by Cartoon Network's trash scheduling and awkward push into live-action programming at the time.

 

[Shedinja]

I'd love a revival on HBO Max. It really deserved to go on for a few more seasons. I thought it was a great way to modernize these characters. The world needs more Daffy Duck, licensed cosmetologist.

 

[The Adder]

• My second favorite of all Looney Tunes Spinoffs
• Split a single character who didn't know what they wanted to be into two great characters
• Handed Cecil Turtle his first and only loss against Bugs.

It's good stuff.

 

[PAFenix]

Pretty good

It's called melting.......on the bwead..........

I'm dying.

 

[Mugenhunt]

The episode with the origin of the pizza place they hang out in is perhaps my favorite Looney Tunes bit ever. It also had the Wizard Daffy music video in the middle, so yeah.

Season 1, Episode 17: Sunday Night Slice.


AKA, the episode with a cannibalism joke that got to air on Cartoon Network.

 

[Deleted member 34949]

I know, late bump but I just started watching this on HBO Max and holy shit this is a lot funnier than I expected

 

[Rocwell]

Guess I'm one of the few people that hated the sitcom format. Between the Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad etc the animated sitcom has been done to death imo. The animation is really bland too since most of the jokes are based on dialog. Seeing Porky and Daffy talk about car insurance and their cell phones made me wish someone would drop a piano on me. Classic Looney Toons are miles ahead of this in terms of humor and visual appeal.
