The series has been debatable ever since the commercials of it. Their music videos are extremely terrible. We have our contender for Sonic Underground of who has the worst music videos for cartoon series to have. I give five episodes before judging it fully, but so far I can’t say it is good or ok without starting the words “sort of”. I wait till I see how the other characters react.

Why would you want to waste precious minutes of your life watching that? Watch something you know won't suck (and there A LOT of good cartoons and films out there, you just gotta look). I don't understand the "Give it a chance!" mentality. If that Yosemite Sam rap was what they were picking to entice potential viewers, then it’s going to be VERY bad, face it. Making a new Looney Tunes is like trying to make a new Charlie Chaplin or Marx Brothers movie. And if you think that can be done, then we ain't got nuttin' to say to each other. youtu.be/I-jJt1pBdBAWhich would you rather watch? Just give those guys the money to create new things, and let the characters die a peaceful death (which they should have after the 60's). zvbxrpl.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-its-hard-to-write-for-bugs-bunny.html#moreThis also sums it up.

Stop at the 60s you say let’s see 60s
descendent from the 60s
I object your statement. Bugs bunny is a good mentor character and it works in Tiny Tunes. It takes challenge to and old character, but if you do it right you get the older audience and the younger audience.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlzpIXG8W8YHere's a solid reason why no new Looney Tunes should be made: Mel Blanc is dead. However hackneyed and painful those 70s and 80s Looney Tunes projects were; they were still alive to a degree because Blanc was voicing them. The characters would have never been as popular had he not been voicing them to begin with. When he died, the characters died with him. There is NO bringing them back. Maybe you guys would like to see new movies with Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, etc. too. Also, the classic Warner shorts were made in a different era, by people with a different outlook on life than us. They had a variety of cultural backgrounds too; most of them didn't even complete high school. That so many of them work today is a sign of great filmmaking. I'm sure the new show will be around for awhile, they're marketing the hell out of it. But it'll soon be unceremoniously dumped to Boomerang at 3am alongside Snorks, Pound Puppies, and what have you. Where it belongs. And newsflash, Tiny Toons sucks (as does Animaniacs and whatever else WB pumped out in the 90's for television). And I couldn't care less about Batman, Superman, Spider-man, etc.

Chris Latta the person who did Starsceam and Cobra Commander is another voice actor. He will be remembered for his performance. That being said he set standard to follow. Yes, It’s difficult when the mantle pass everyone will remember the predecessors. If you succeeded you set standard to all to follow. That’s how marvel and dc comics flourish. I need to be accurate judge it completely I don’t like being shallow bias. That does not mean I am an optimist because when I judge it completely I am more brutal.

The episode starts with Daffy Duck having difficulty being in a country club so he stole a number identity to get in. This introduces to Lola bunny. She is a lot more different from previous versions of her. This is going to be controversial debate on what is better. He personality she has bad memory and accidental prone and crazy. I find it funny that she thinks Bugs girls disguise is homely. I think she fits right in. She bad tennis but stated it her passion. I am guessing that she good at other thing but the sport that she wants to family proud of her she does not do that well. Wow this is subtle controversial episode when you think about it.

kasey....What the hell?
This is an INCREDIBLY fun show! I laught my arse off!
There's tons of classic Looney Tunes references, the episodes have a LINEAR STORYLINE, and add in its own charm to make it entertaining...I think it's an awesome show!
You shouldn't be such a hypocrite JUST BECAUSE it's a new Looney Tunes show. They're pulling off a real nice show right now, and I honestly can't wait for the next episode.

How am I being a hypocrite? I don't recall defending this ugly garbage at any point, or ever saying new Looney Tunes should be made. Some people will laugh at anything these days, I suppose. The worst you can say is that the show is lame and nonspecific. There’s nothing to suggest these characters are Bugs and Daffy other than the fact that they look and sound like them (debatable). And the character designs are hideous. Not to hurt feelings, but they are. Far worse officially sanctioned renderings of the characters exist (just look at just about any drawing in the 1970s or 1980s), but saying that they aren’t the worst ever isn’t a compliment. The classics were designed by seasoned professionals who had a grasp on what the animators could handle and use to the funniest effect. (Not to mention knowledge of perspective and anatomy, something lacking completely in these new designs). This kind of stuff should be kept at Deviantart – end of story. The CGI animation on the Road Runner segments is also awful. Nobody is expecting something on par with The Incredibles, but video games look better than this. If you’re going to work with the greatest cartoon characters of all time, be sure you know how to write. Then again, we already knew from the get-go these people didn’t have to know how to draw, so I guess anything’s game. This thing had the wrong concept from the start. It's broken because the characters aren't true to themselves. No amount of cutey-pie girly art redesigns or attempts to infuse the Looney Tunes with doses of Family Guy or pseudo-Seinfeldinan sitcom humor will make it work. If they want to make money off people buying crap based on classic characters again, they should start by showcasing the things that made them classic characters in the first place – not crap.

While I agree the animation on the Roadrunner cartoons are AWFUL...And that the music videos are horrid (Even thought they're SUPPOSED to be stupid), I can't agree that the show is bad.
Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are geniunly funny, many of the re-designs work, keeping true to the original characters while also adding new elements...The humor is actually funny, and works when done correctly. The show is really a fun experience. Hope tommorow night's episode is good, because last one somewhat lagged...
Still, all I can see is is that you're blinded by the fact you don't like that it's new Looney Tunes. As a good cartoon character named Eddy once said:
"Get over yourself!"

Well, if you think Rio and Total Drama Island are great, I guess anything will do. What entertainment value is found in either of those things is beyond me. You have a stronger endurance than I, I suppose. Also...What humor? Oh, Daffy couldn't remember Bugs' catchphrase? Um sure, comedy writing at its finest... I've sat through more than enough, and it's evident the writers are trying, but they just aren't funny. The 'humor', frankly, is rubbish, even if this wasn't the Looney Tunes name being used. Not to mention, it's fairly obvious that the crew's never actually seen a Looney Tunes short, and just went by whatever CN executives told them. Why else does Daffy act more like Peter Griffin than Daffy here? Why else is Bugs a boring straight man who barely sounds anything like himself? The fact that you consider this true to the character astounds (and frightens) me. It's about as faithful as Tom & Jerry: The Movie was to the cat and mouse.

kasey, back off, you're making this way too personal.You're free to disagree with Ted if you want, but I'm not going to let you take cheap shots at him. Everyone is allowed to like and dislike whatever they want, there's no need to insult someone else's tastes.

My Final verdict is this show worthy of holding the Looney tunes mantle, no. Looney tunes help made a guide line for cartoon to follow. It was daring clever an icon. That does not excuse it for it failure. As reboots go there were several that did a lot better and several more are coming on this way. The writing is where it failed the most. The unutilized characters such as Lola bunny can get away since there not many good performance of her so they were a blank slant. We heard better music from the Looney Tunes from the 90s remixes
I worry that due parental strict codes their performance will be limited. If you watch loony on TV they edited out a few famous scenes such daffy daredevil performance. The writer from Robot Chicken can be edgy I think he starting lose his touch. you scene the performance in the robot chicken
With %#@## Jem coming soon showing is a reason why we like classics. Someone needs to state the obvious why we like the classics. This series feels like the worst episode of Friends and Two in a Half Men. I am done with it. Out of all the spin offs I have seen from the Loony Tunes this is the worst. Loonatics had more respect even though it had identity crisis of being action pack or funny.

You know I finally figure out Lola bunny in this cartoon. She is like character from Dr. Kats or from Home movies and not good one at that. Loony lost touch before this series. carrotblanca is not something to be proud of.

You know I think their failure has started before this. The Casablanca parody was not something to write home about, nor was their Christmas Carol.

The characters should've been left alone after the 60's, really.
