One more thing: I edited out a small chunk of this video after it was uploaded because the criticisms it held didn’t sit right with me and didn’t hold up under my own scrutiny. I want to be transparent about the reasons behind this change, just in case it created any confusion.
Anyway, the next video will be a long awaited Test, you probably know the one.

Forget Wonder Woman 1984, The Looney Tunes Show is the best thing where Kristin Wiig plays an anthropomorphic animal character that's part of an iconic franchise Warner Bros. owns. And that's not a joke.

I really do like this series. The suburban setting really helped with its dialogue-driven comedy.

Most modern Looney Tunes try to replicate the style of the classics but don't quite recapture the magic. The Looney Tunes Show works for me because it doesn't even try to be like the originals, and because of that, has a unique sense of humor that a lot of people remember fondly

[PinataTime]

the looney tunes show was one of the first shows that when it ended, I actually noticed it and got depressed. Most shows before hand just ended and I went on with life didn’t think much of it. but the looney tunes show was one of the few cases where I actually noticed it and was thinking “ Man, that’s just weird. It was so good!” it really was a gem.

I feel like so many looney tunes properties have tried and failed to replicate the original s writing yet this does it's own thing and is so much better for it

[hunderslash]

I’ve said this before about this show but I like how the characters cast a shadow on the background. Reminds me of cel animation and I think it’s cool

It's interesting how shows like this and Sonic Boom were hated when they launched but now looking back at it we're genuinely good

[danatedawg]

It was witty, quick and had some slapstick with a more “human feel” with them being really down to earth

[emperium]

I enjoyed the show for being different in a very good way. Seeing bugs and daffy actually have a weird friendship. Seeing Daffy sometimes actually be competent and seeing Lola get a personality that drove Bugs insane was fun.

I remember when The Looney Tunes Show first came out. It was actually one of the earliest pieces of Looney Tunes media that I experienced.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Gossamer is voiced by the original Darwin Watterson?

[aruce]

I will never forgive Elmer Fudd who tried to screw a grilled cheese

[wstine]

I love this version of Lola Bunny. She is hilarious.

[blankisfornerds]

why is it that the early 2010s had some really good reboots that werent liked at the time but now beloved, there was this, thundercats, and tmnt.

[flashfire]

in my opinion I think the Looney Tunes show was the absolute best remake of a cartoon
they took all the great characters and perfectly adapted them into a new setting while stilling keeping the laughs and looneyness of the old times
AND CMON the looney tunes are the absolute best characters to be adapted into a sitcom
one of the best cartoons imo

I find it interesting how Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run is the only Looney Tunes movie (regardless of the format it was released in) to be released in the 2010s, coming out in 2015. I mean, there were a few Looney Tunes movies in the 1990s and 2000s, but the live action hybrids got the theatrical release while the animated ones were on DVD (with the 2006 Christmas movie being the last movie released before Rabbits Run).

I remember hearing Hugh Davidson talk about The Looney Tunes Show on the Adult Swim podcast, and he mentioned some interesting things, like how he wasn’t worried about tarnishing the reputation of the Looney Tunes based on internal use in the Warner offices, his thought of cancellation being tied to him and his team beginning work on Mike Tyson Mysteries, and he even mentions that he thought that the show would’ve been more popular/successful if the show had a laugh-track to “tell the kids when it was funny”.

It’s a very interesting listen, definitely recommend checking it out. Great video as always, Nick!

i especially enjoyed the Melody Melodies, Road Runner & Wile E Coyote shorts...god i miss my childhood...

[Elvusmiw]

I remember this show was advertised while the movie Back in action was playing on cartoon Network, the only commercials were the cgi coyote and roadrunner short.
