This show is the cartoon equivalent of Seinfeld. Love everything about it. Canceled way too soon. HBOMax needs to bring it back ASAP.

Really Underrated
ThatOneCartoonFan26 August 2020
I don't really see why people hated the show when it first came out, it was funny and really interesting. As a looney tunes fan myself I think this is one of the best incarnations and reboots along side scooby doo mystery inc. but now that Wabbit was a thing I find it a bit strange everyone suddenly wants the show back. I think the show should come back and I honestly won't complain if they reboot scooby doo or Tom and Jerry like this as long as they do it right. Maybe if this came out today and it was shown along side teen titans Go, people would see how much of an underrated gem this show is as a looney tunes show and a cartoon. Doesn't really deserve all the hate when CN started making such garbage reboots after 2013.
Funniest show on CN!

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.

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
The Looney Tunes Seinfeld

The Looney Tunes Show modernizes the Looney Tunes right. I know some reviewers may argue that it shouldn't exist for not being like the original Looney Tunes animated cartoons but nowadays that's just not allowed to be on modern television (well despite the fact Looney Tunes still comes on Boomerang uncut). This show is where we have the Looney Tunes all in their very own sitcom acting more realistic and humanized and actually does pretty well. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are roomates in a human house, Porky is their other friend who comes by every now and then, Lola Bunny also appears from Space Jam with a funny sitcom type of personality. Taz is Bugs' and Daffy's pet, Granny and the witch are their neighbors along with Gossamer. Wil E Coyote and Road Runner however are still the same in Season 1 but are produced in CGI segments with more modern technology but actually feels interesting to see. Sylvester and Tweety are also the same as they were in the original Looney Tunes shorts. Marvin is still powerful with taking over the world but is actually civilized on earth and only uses his ray gun when encountering a threat, Pepe isn't just straight out flirting and kissing on others, the two gophers are almost the same but they are more like businessmen, and the rest are there as well which have unique sitcom personalities or haven't changed at all and it somehow surprisingly works. The animation is also pretty good, I do think Bugs Bunny in Season 1 had a cheaper budget on his animation design but the animation gets much better in Season 2, even the background designs improve quite a bit. The voice acting sounds very fit for the characters especially with Jeff Bergman, Bob Bergen, and June Foray. And there's even the Merrie Melodies segments in most of the episodes that at first feel like a complete annoying distraction to the episode until you actually listen to it for a few minutes and they're actually pretty good as well. I get the Chicken Hawk song stuck in my head a lot for some reason. This show definitely deserves a watch if you're a Looney Tunes fan or a Seinfeld fan, just don't expect humor that is literally in extinction nowadays and sitback and enjoy your favorite characters fixed correctly in this generation.
The Best Looney Tunes
TheMunkeyBoy22 July 2019
I grew up on all the old one and I love them. I was so surprised at how good and hilarious this was when I downloaded a few episodes for my kids.
Now have both seasons. Daddy is incredible.
It's a good nod at the originals and a lot of fun for a new generation.
I prefer this to the newer "The New Looney Tunes Show".
For what it's worth, it's a breath of fresh air

This isn't the greatest cartoon remake of all time but it's still pretty good. I like its reinterpretation of the Looney Tunes universe. No longer are they chasing after each other as much they are chasing their next paycheck. Instead they're trying to make it in the real world (most of them). The voices took me a while to get used to but they're still pretty good. Bugs and Daffy have great chemistry together. It's great to see them bounce off each other. Lola and Tina are also great additions to the show for the same reasons. It would've been cool to see Taz anthropomorphic rather than as a dog but it's still great to see him. One thing I like is how after all these years we finally see Bugs get even with Cecil Turtle in a few episodes. The songs are OK, many of them are very hit or miss. Songs like "Blew my Stack" and "I'm a Martian" are fine but others as "Skunk Funk" and "We are in Love" are annoying and forgettable.The animation's pretty good. The redesigns are interesting and they put a new spin on the characters. It really helps them when they move or talk or when a gag happens.
If there's one thing that bothers me it was the CGI Road Runner and Coyote shorts. Some of them were OK but the rest weren't all that. What made the original shorts great was how it was traditionally animated and how they played around with it. With it being CGI it really loses its charm and edge. The original hand drawn shorts still stand the test of time and have aged well while amazingly it the new CGI ones look cheap. Thankfully they ceased making them in the second season though after that the show was cancelled which's a shame. The show wasn't that bad, if anything I wish it had lasted longer. It was cool how they took the franchise in a much different direction. It's cool to see the characters modernized dealing with life in a more grounded way. If you like Looney Tunes then you'll like this cartoon. There's something for everyone here.

The Looney Tunes Show Will Please After All
brittonwa4 May 2011
The newest Odd Couple on the small screen is none other than our old friends, Bugs Bunny and his house mate Daffy Duck. Bugs, in his usual swarmy manner, deals with Daffy's self-absorption and nutty eccentricities while coping living under one roof with the delusional mallard. The result: witty dialog and excellent slapstick, and combined with the above-average animation, makes for one great show. However, the sly, conniving yet knuckle-headed Daffy we grew to know and love over the years has been reduced to a clueless knuckle-headed frat boy roommate who actually seems quite fond of Bugs...somewhat of a disappointment but not enough not to enjoy the show.
The cast of characters are drawn in the delightful old Chuck Jones style making them visually appealing, that is except for Bugs who looks like a parody of the original rabbit. His design has been simplified (for what reason?) and at certain angles, bears little resemblance to Bugs at all. This Bugs Bunny could easily fit in with the cast of "Drawn Together". Still, the facial expressions Bugs uses are wonderfully "Friz Freleng" keeping the character's personality familiar to the audience.
Aside from that, "The Looney Tunes Show" offers classic and modern animated lunacy that will appeal to all ages. And if you're lucky enough to catch the cgi Road Runner/ Coyote clips, you'll be in for a real treat.

cartoonnewsCP17 June 2016
its a really good show. do not listen to any of the negative guys, they want classics.
This isn't 1940, this is 2016, classics will not appear ever again and you have to realize that. This cartoon is good reboot. they live in house in a modern city. They even go to local places, like a copy store, pizza place, the sunset room. It is the perfect cartoon. I wish there were a few more seasons. Then I could keep watching it every day. It is good, not as good as the classics, but the best reboot since the 90s.
WB is making bad decision with Teen Titans Go!, end that, continue this. It would please your fans more.
10/10

Not as good as the classics, but still entertaining
nickel28241 August 2011
Like almost every American citizen, I grew up with the classic Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes. Now we get this show, almost all the characters had changed, which depends on who u're talking about. Bugs Bunny is still the smartest of the tunes, he didn't change much, which I did like, like the old cartoons, I still like that wabbit the best. The jokes are laughable in today's standards and Bugs is as funny as ever. However, there is some criticism I give to this. The worst part is the change of the personality of Daffy Duck, still he's selfish and greedy, but what happened to the duck who would do anything to steal the spotlight from Bugs Bunny himself? Instead he's a dimwit just like his early incarnations and I hate that. All in all, the Looney Tunes Show is entertaining if u're just looking for a good show to watch, but if u expect something like the classics Looney Tunes, then this is not for u.
Excellent Come Back!!!! It's Funny and Moving
LMNor8713 January 2012
This new Looney Tunes Show was a perfect compilation of our favorite classic characters and how they would have grown to our time now, while still keeping their humorous personalities and wacky antics. It also gave a positive response to our stuffy society's view of Speedy Gonzalez ( original cartoons considered racist and pulled off TV). The Show portrays more in depth personalities of our little heroes that makes you love them even more. It's like getting to know them behind the scenes but yet seeing them referring to their good old days. Like us Adults remembering the classics and sharing this now with our children. I think it's an excellent re-make and come back for kids today and us- from yesterday. If you haven't seen this, give it a chance, your life will be happier :D
The "Looney Tunes" Show
Apocalypse43530 July 2013
This is one of the worst shows I have ever seen I would rather watch All the twilight movies and all the episodes of problem solvers, honey boo boo and secret mountain fort awesome then watch another episode of this show, they ruined all The characters, plus the show is not even "looney" Bugs is boring and it feels like he lost all his energy, he is your average Joe/ football fan Daffy is A STUPID MORON who is self-absorbed and ridiculous, he was self-absorbed in the original but he was never STUPID Porky is a fat, nerdy, ugly, loser who is just plane boring to watch compared to the stud of the 1900's Lola is bugs' stupid, obsessive, blonde stalker, even though bugs sucks now It is hard to watch daffy and Lola being such morons around him' Tina is not even a Looney tune, I like the original idea but seriously GIVE HER PERSONALITY she has this stupid, thick long island accent though I do enjoy that she has a lick of sense she is the only character that is bearable Granny is now the stereotypical 95-year-old woman Witch Hazel is now Witch Lezah and Gossamer is her son (What The Heck?!) Elmer Fudd is a news anchor and once sung about grilled cheese (again Wha??????????) Yosemite Sam is even stupider than Lola and daffy and was once featured rapping, no not rapping a present to bugs which was really a bomb, rapping...
What has become of the great Looney Tunes?!

A Good way to ruin a classic
liquidiba2 August 2014
I must admit, before I begin my hatred against TLTS and look forward to the next upcoming sellout, Change can be very good and beneficial when actual thought and passion is applied, but there's no change present here; just debauchery. They've taken timeless characters that nearly everyone has grown up loving and subjected them to the same lame, tasteless, crap-staining that has plagued newer characters that could never live up to the Looney Tunes on their best day.
The concept of funny with respects to Lola, is definitely different from what I perceive as funny. To me Lola's brand of "comedy" is highly akin to nails on a chalkboard. Once again I state that whoever did the "writing" for this show borrowed too heavily from Seth MacFarlane's treatment of Family Guy. This show's version of Lola might as well just be Peter Griffin wearing a rabbit suit, make-up, and a dress, for she's every bit as stupid and obnoxious as Peter, and frankly stupid characters alone are not funny. Laughing at a dumb character in a movie or cartoon is equivalent to laughing at the dumb kid in school who stuffs crayons up his nose and then makes fart noises.
To the position, about them being smarter than they at first seem, no they aren't, and even if you're going to argue about the so-called hidden level of intellect, they are still no where near the intelligent level of humor and character development that went into the original cartoons. The Looney Tunes are satirists, in addition to being universal and timeless. They should have at least played upon that characteristic that their original creators endowed them with. Instead of borrowing from the style of shows like Family Guy they should have borrowed more from shows like Duckman or Animaniacs including slapstick and zaniness along with the sitcom-style awkwardness.
People tend to think that the critics of this show are merely nostalgia-blinded, but firstly there is no such thing as nostalgia-blinded. Whenever studios try and do anything new using old characters and media they are trying to play the nostalgia card and draw in the appeal of the preexistence watchers, and one of the first rules when dealing with another artist's original characters and stories, is that you pay respect to the artist FIRST, then you deal with pleasing the fans. This show does neither. They spit in the original creators' faces while simultaneously ticking off a majority of the Looney Tune fans worldwide. That nonsense about appealing to a new generation is rubbish too. If kids weren't already fans of the Looney Tunes, they're not going to become fans by you making an unoriginal reinterpretation of them. This show just serves as an example of what happens when corporatism gets its hands on anything creative, they squeeze all the worth out of it until its nothing but a mangled shell of its former self.

one of the 10s best cartoon sitcoms
bahajrad20 June 2019
What are y'all frowning about? y'all like gumball but dont like this? this show is pretty much it. it's not always about setting up a trap or a trap twist to have laughs at. sure it is what makes the looney tunes brand but also the way how their personalities work on this show is cohesive and makes up for it. it's new, it's different, it's innovative, it's modern, it's aimed at teens and pre teens and pretty sure it appeals to some of the adults with the personality stereotypes it has and its genius well put together written script and puns. also they dont animate them like this anymore.
It's fun!!
alison-arias14 November 2020
Really, really good. But not for everyone.
Kuristofa997 July 2011
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.

Excellent show
MarcXW22 May 2012
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.
It's not the looney tunes spirit.
kumargopinath23 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I mean it's an okay show,but this is definitely NOT how the looney tunes should have been rebooted.Looney tunes are all about hilarious slapstick,while this show has little to no slapstick.It's just a sitcom,that's it.And they changed some of the character's personalities.Daffy,who used to be crazy jerk,is now a brain dead jerk,bugs,who used to be the smart wise guy,is now an average joe,taz,who used be a crazy tornado of doom,is now a pet "dog"(WTF),lola,who used be a s**y rabbit with no personality,is now crazy rabbit(I actually like her change),witch hazel,who used to be a crazy witch,now acts like an ordinary black woman(I'm not trying to offend anyone),that huge red crazy monster who used to be a .........a huge red crazy monster,now acts like a wimpy 9 year old(he is also witch hazel's son.again WTF?)and ....that''s it I guess.OH, and the CGI road runner and coyote looks ugly to me.The animation is decent,the jokes are hit and miss but most of the characters,I don't care about.If the creators replaced the looney tunes characters with their own characters or added more slapstick and made the road runner and coyote shorts 2-D,I would've given this show a higher score.
Easily the most underappreciated Looney Tunes continuation out there
KalloFox3426 February 2022
The Looney Tunes Show may have the seemingly questionable premise of transplanting the cast into a sitcom.... but it was managed wonderfully. The show gets too much unfair flack from people unable to adapt to change, when it is actually the most unique Looney Tunes series.
There have been other Looney Tunes cartoons that change the tone, such as a mediocre preschool cartoon and an absolutely dreadful action cartoon. However, WB finally managed to nail it here.
For all of the changes to the characters, they are still recognizable as themselves and manage to be hilarious as a result. The only character who was changed wholesale was Lola, and that's a blessing because her original incarnation was a Mary Sue with no real personality (yet another reason why Space Jam sucked). Here, she's crazy, hyperactive, and probably the funniest character on the show (and considering how hilarious Daffy is, that says a lot).
The humor is sharp, funny, and on point despite the lack of slapstick. Daffy's stupidity, Lola's craziness, Bugs' sarcasm, etc. Make them all comedic gold mines. Much like The Amazing World of Gumball (which, coincidentally, premiered on the same day), the show has a knack for turning even the most tired of sitcom clichés into something worth watching. Also, the show has romantic elements that don't work to its detriment, unlike the later episodes of Regular Show.
The show isn't flawless, though. The Roadrunner segments, much like the Rudy Larriva-directed shorts, are not faithful to the original Chuck Jones-directed shorts. Also, Daffy's mistreatment of Porky is sometimes pretty hard to watch ("The Float" being a particularly bad example). Furthermore, perfectly good characters like Marvin the Martian and Pete Puma were heavily underused, especially during Season 2.
However, the pros outweigh the cons enough that it still earns a good 10/10. The only Looney Tunes continuation better than it is HBO Max's Looney Tunes Cartoons.

Not as looney as hoped but still watchable.

This show has been getting a lot of mixed reviews lately. Some love it for looking at the characters from a new perspective, others pan it for wrecking their childhood. I belong to the latter group as it happens because this quite a good show. The actions less wacky and more Sitcom-like because thats the direction Warner Bros. wanted to take I guess (It may be that the shock of faliure of their last Movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action rattled the studi exectives to the point that they redesinged the characters in deperation). but don't steer clear of this show just because of that, it might not be laugh-out-loud funny or slapstick but it's still funny. I'd say it was hit and miss funny.
I'd compare it's laid-back humor to Regular-Show. laid-back and witty humour to the kind that you see on another CN show Regular show. We have some great stories that are perfect for the modern day Looney Tunes and audience. Humor is sharp and slightly more mature than previous toons. And I've gotta say it's quite funny to see Daffy Duck try to look cool with over-the-top lies and stories and ultimately failing.
Bugs and Daffy haven't changed much of course although Daffy is shown to be more brain-dead than scheming in this incarnation. Still though show is good with half-solid humour, catchy songs from the Merrie Melodies section, and awesome Roadrunner and Wile.E.Cyote cartoons so I'm asking you stop being a maroon and give this show a go!

A Looney Tunes Hidden Gem
TheMysteriousReviewer7 February 2022
The Looney Tunes Show is not only one of the most underrated series of the last decade, but also the most funniest Looney Tunes reboot. It has really clever writing that brings the Looney Tunes characters to the real world. The animation is nice. The characters are enjoyable both old and new. The commentary on real world issues is engaging. And especially the comedy. I have been laughing so hard for most of the series, mostly from Daffy's antics. I wish the series hadn't ended too soon and last one more season to have a proper conclusion, but at least I can forgive it during those two seasons. Oh and by the way, the series would show us a couple of short segments in both the middle and the end of each episode, Merrie Melodies and Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. Merrie Melodies do contain musical numbers, and they stay almost true to the spirit of the Looney Tunes characters we all know and love. As for Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, the animation in that can be dated. But even that sticks to the spirit to those cartoons. If you need to at least watch a sitcom that's not from Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, this is an excellent option (or at least a cartoon sitcom if you'd like to call it). While the series could've lasted one more season, it is still a really underrated series.
Very good show with excellent writing

I love this show! It's not right in your face funny like some shows(regular show). If you are looking for a show to watch as a family look no further than The Looney Tunes Show! Most of the characters are funny and the acting is superb!
The show always starts out slow and really picks up by the end that's also what
makes it so funny!
The writing is also very good. All of the episodes are very entertaining. It is a mix between comedy and drama. It's appropriate for all audiences

Could've Been Better

The Looney Tunes Show was... interesting. But it was pretty mediocre. I do like how they changed Lola to fit the franchise, but I hate how they had to make her dumb just so she could be funny, and it really doesn't work. I also think The Looney Tunes Show had a bad release date, I mean, a big reason why it flopped was because of Regular Show, which was far superior and took enough risks to be different and relatable.
Like something out of a bad dream!

The original Looney Tunes had a whole set of recognizable elements that made them work. Physical comedy, action, a sweet soundtrack that underlined every move. The setting changed from one short sketch to the other, moving across the world and time periods.
It could be argued that they already threaded this path, that a change was needed to keep it fresh. Sure, why not.
But please, anything but a sitcom setting! The jokes, mostly contained in the dialogue, fall flat and the situations are all from the bag of rotting sitcom tropes. That is neither new or fresh by any standard. That is the most overused formula on TV, and it makes everything predictable and dull.

Funny Update!!

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...
