Sonic Boom only gained popularity because of the movies It's still bad- it's as if the writers don't know what the Sonic crew was about. Which was friendship and adventure, even if this was a alternative world, I don't see myself watching this again unlike The Looney Tunes Show Looney Tunes Show was something I always enjoyed and can see myself watching it again, because it's actually funny and they aren't randomly mean to eachother they have at least some hints thrown as to why they act the way they do, for example Daffy was this mean spirited towards Porky because Porky bullied him at highschool. To this day Daffy held a grudge against Porky, doesn't excuse his actions but it explains them far better than Sonic being an as* to Tails for no reason, doesn't sit well nor is it funny.

Maybe it was just a time slot thing… The issue is that they targeted younger audiences, but it more easily works as an all-age show. So if it aired at around the crossover point between daytime and prime time TV (the point where cartoons stop for the day and we transition into family programs), it might have done better. Especially since much of the older demographic would be watching a new take on something they likely grew up with.

[@ComradeCorvus]

One of my favorite bits from that entire series was where you catch the tail end of a conversation where Daffy says "and thats why I dont wear pants." The lack of comtext and everything made it much funnier than it should have been.

[@jeffk.9075]

I can say honestly that I tried it and realized that it is not for me. I am one of those old buggers stuck in his ways who prefers his classic Looney Tunes. That said, I don't feel the need to hate on this even though I did not enjoy it. To me it is a wonderful thing to see the series continue to grow and adapt and keep bringing in new audiences who can learn to love these characters in ways we all have for decades.

Honestly that’s fine, you have it a fair shot and your being civil about this too. Can’t ask for more really.

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

I remember when I was younger, thinking this show wouldn't be very successful for taking the Looney Tunes in this direction. But this show is still being discussed and appreciated to this day, and there a lot of great moments that I missed out on seeing back when the show was still airing.

[@Vontyak]

So glad this show finally got the love it always deserved, it’s just unfortunate we never got a third season!!

[@nas0518]

The Looney Tunes Show was my childhood. I remembered watching it when it first aired on Cartoon Network when it was 10 and almost 11 years old. *sigh* Good times. I want to go back in time and be a little boy again.

We all owe the creators of this show an apology.

[@saraabebe5159]

I think there my favourite designs of the characters. Eat your heart out looney tunes cartoons.

[@MisterDuck007]

The Looney Tunes Show will always be one of the greatest shows of all time.

[@musingsofahomeschooler5332]

Thanks for not using profanity in this one, man. It means a lot. I’ve been a fan of this series for a long time, so thanks for covering it. Kristen Wiig Lola is the only real Lola, you pervs.

[@EurypteridFossil]

ahh! Ive beeen rewatching this lately! Its such a great show, im glad people are talking about it again

[@unclegrandpagaming165]

This is one of the best incarnations of looney tunes and I’m so mad it got cancelled after S2 yet the worse show Wabbit (new looney tunes) got 3 seasons before it got cancelled

[@OldSlyEyes]

One of my favorite shows such great writing

[@FluxDreamsOA]

Honestly this defined my childhood. While its a shame the series never got true closure I still remember it as a clever reintroduction to the characters in a unique environment that was different from what older fans where generally use to.

[@flowerzforsaturn]

I remember when this show was first being promoted and so many people already hating it and even though I was skeptical I was also optimistic. I never tuned in weekly for new episodes but I would watch reruns and genuinely enjoyed it. I liked how it was it’s own thing and not trying to be a copy of the original shorts (something which I noticed Warner bros is trying to do now and it’s not really working) I’m glad people are talking about this show again it really was ahead of it’s time

[@NostalJackMusic]

The thing about this show that really brings it together is that it’s SO funny! It’s one of the most quotable cartoons of all time for me, and I think it doesn’t get much credit for the impeccable humor. I just love it so much

[@NewAgeSlaves]

The way Lola said "say that again" it was so unhinged 😅 great delivery from her voice actor

[@SonicMan2007]

The Sheep Raider (Sheep Dog 'n' Wolf) game soundtrack in the background was a very nice touch

[@jonetgames]

I think the Looney Tunes show is one of the greatest cartoons of all time, not just a great CN cartoon. It was hilarious and had me in stitches in almost every episode. Even the clips you included in this video, I laughed at all of them. That one insane episode where Lola becomes a nun, Daffy goes to the military, and Bugs and Porky getting peach chobbler was one of the craziest and most ridiculous occurences I've ever seen in a cartoon because of how absurd it all was and how it all compounded together and ended. My favorite episode. I wish they'd put it on Netflix or Hulu or something. Wait, is it on HBO Max?

[@JD-iu6rv]

I’ve been currently rewatching this series the last couple days

[@Mob-ov2fg]

I remember when this show was airing on TV. I never paid much attention to me as it didn’t interest me at that time. It wasn’t until they canceled it and started only playing re-runs when I finally gave it a shot. I remember laughing my ass off when I saw it most of the time. I sometimes watch clips on KZbin and I still laugh my ass off even though I’m all grown up. I love this show (:

[@mesousagaby740]

BTW, the same writing crew who did this, Davidson, Hugh and Ramras would then create Mike Tyson Mysteries.

[@soapbiter36577]

That makes so much sense, no wonder I find both so funny

[@AnimationisKey]

This show and a 11th birthday gift of Classic Looney Tunes DVD along with Space Jam and Back in Action introduced me to Looney Tunes when I was 10. I love the show so much that I was sad when it was off the air and didn't live a few more years but I am that people are giving a chance and appreciation again.

[@toon4thought]

I've always been pretty fond of the Looney Tunes Show, and sure enough when I revisited it earlier this year I was surprised by how well it held up. But it has also bothered me how its blowup on the internet has overshadowed the new Looney Tunes Cartoons, which IMO is easily superior.

[@BlythePennyBicycle21]

I don't know. Looney Tunes Cartoons is good and funny, but it mainly relies on nostalgia as the backbone of the show.

[@toon4thought]

@@BlythePennyBicycle21 I wouldn't say that. If anything, it just takes what worked about the classics and acts as though they continued being made in the modern age.

[@nathanbecks5081]

Yeah. I mean TLTS is alright and all, but I feel Looney Tunes Cartoons is a much bigger love letter to the Looney Tunes and deserves more appreciation honestly. Compared to TLTS, Looney Tunes Cartoons also feels underrated if not moreso.

[@dychrisshandonsmith6954]

Keep it up on your work and this channel

[@NovaKnight_]

Daffy being the funniest character makes sense since the creators also did Duck Dodgers, which was an entirely Daffy-centric series ft. Porky. I wish people would talk about it more, it’s so underrated.

[@diegosanchez5412]

2:45 Well, Porky being Sylvester's owner isn't anything new as it also happened in the 1948 cartoon "Scaredy Cat" which fun fact: that was the first time Sylvester's name was finally given.

[@TheWiseDoge]

6:06 Never in my life would I thought that Daffy Duck would say the words “Robert Downey Jr”.

[@BiblemanTF]

I enjoyed the Show way more than i would have enjoyed the originals, never noticed a change in the artstyle until you mentioned it, i can only recall 1 episode that i have something to complain about. What a shame this didnt get more seasons. I cant believe some people actually flamed this back in the day.

[@trackmasterrailwayseries9722]

This had to have been one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network that I actively watched as a kid. I grew up on stuff like the New Tom and Jerry show, Wabbit(back when it was still called that, but I personally think it was a better name) Wacky Racers, reruns of Mystery Incorporated, etc, etc. Those were all really good shows but I really liked the Looney Tunes show, and I can't believe I forgot about the crazy moments that happened in-between. From the Grilled Cheese song, to the 4th of July Number to(my favorite) the Daffy Duck "Wizard" musical, and my favorite part of the show had to have been the Road Runner shorts. I genuinely think this is the type of show where you don't truly appreciate it until you mature and look back on it with older eyes. Then you get to see all the wacky, relatable jokes that you had no clue were jokes back when it first aired. That is for making this video man, you brought back so forgotten memories from me!

[@howler9171]

This show was a decade ahead of it's time. People hated it when it came out but now it's gaining a lot of traction

[@skaikuan5807]

Their character developments are what's great as the show goes on. I hope they continue the series one day.

[@vireo2543]

When the show came out I thought I was legit the only person who liked it. Even though it’s late, I’m just glad it’s getting the love it deserves as it’s own stand alone Looney Tunes show.

[@MajoraTime]

funny enough i have started randomly watching episodes of this show just the past few days! funny how laugh riot was so aimed at kids when the final show often felt like it'd be about stuff no kid would fully get like DMVs and City Council Members and the sort

I think The Looney Tunes show is probably the last time we’ll ever get to see Pepe le Pew in a Looney Tunes property

[@AJ-xc4qe]

Maybe if Pepe Le Pew was treated like Johnny Bravo with the women he's flirting with causing cartoonish violence against him, it'd be fine. Idk

[@BlythePennyBicycle21]

He did appear a few times in Wabbit/New Looney Tunes as a secret agent. He also made a cameo appearance in the Happy Birthday Bugs short for Looney Tunes Cartoons, but that's it. (The Annecy version of the short omits him).

[@TheDragonman104]

Don’t worry, with the way the fans are reacting to the news of the character, they’ll eventually put him back into future projects.
