I'll Defend the Show.

People who grew up on Looney Tunes don't like this show because the characters are different. Well, I grew up on the Looney Tunes, too but I still believe that this show is great.

Someone who works on the show explained that it's no longer funny to point a gun in someone's face, but they can still make the characters funny in other ways. I agree with them. When I was little, I just knew that times would change and that violence wouldn't be considered funny one day. Well, times have changed and I was right. It's just not funny anymore.

I love seeing our favorite characters living a "normal" life. It's fun to watch them interact with humans. I also think that the writing is solid. Not EVERY episode is great, but most are.

Look, all that I'm saying is that if you want the Looney Tunes to have a new show, then you have to realize that things are different now and what was once considered funny for years just isn't funny now. Is that fair? No, but I've got news for you, neither is life! Sorry, but that's the truth.

the main reason i dont like the show is lola and daffy
lola is eugh
and daffy is despicable. how bugs and especially porky accept him baffles me

so with daffy being a main character and disgusting me so, its hard to enjoy the show

Its their rose tinted glasses, if they could take them off for a second they would see they're desperately clinging to nostalgia and it is ruining their enjoyment of new things.

I see it on these boards constantly.

This show is OK because for the first time Bugs is vulnerable and HUMAN.
In those old cartoons, the super-cool rabbit is always on top of every situation; in the rare ones where he is outsmarted (by Cecil Turtle or the Gremlin), he reacts with such poor sportsmanship that I almost hate him!

Here, although he is taken advantage of by Daffy and Lola, he takes it with good grace.
I'm guessing that he may have gotten older and more tired of day-to-day strains.

Do you want to see BAD?
Then, take a peek at that new show WABBIT, which is on Boomerang at 8:00 PM, EST.
Believe me, that misbegotten turkey makes this show look like the best of Disney!
