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.

I remember not really digging the show at first. Probably has something to do with the first batch of episodes showing signs that the writers were still figuring the identity of this incarnation of the series and going for not always interesting sitcom plots at first, like you said in the video. Maybe I should try giving the later episodes a chance. Judging from how people have been talking about it positively lately due to that Space Jam sequel making people talk about Looney Tunes again lately.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I would definitely recommend you watch the later episodes. They are fantastic but I do agree that the earlier episodes were some of the weakest but after that it was solid gold.

[@KiloCreates0_0]

Finally you’re talking about this show one of my favorite shows ever!

[@MisterDuck007]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Vontyak]

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

[@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.

[@NewAgeSlaves]

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

[@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.

[@cordyceps7531]

I was honestly bored as hell by the older cartoons as a kid. The Looney Tunes Show is pretty much the only version out of the entire franchise that I genuinely like.

[@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.

[@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.

Honestly, the season 1/pitch pilot designs are some of my favorite designs of the looney tunes in the franchise! I just enjoy how stylized they are

[@saraabebe5159]

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

[@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 (:

[@JD-iu6rv]

[@SonicMan2007]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@skaikuan5807]

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

[@JaceAVinson]

I hope that The Looney Tunes Show returns one day.

[@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.

[@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

[@Izearz]

The show is honestly my childhood, especially the merrie melodies, and the road runner shows. It’s my childhood and I still love it.

[@JD-iu6rv]

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

[@OldSlyEyes]

One of my favorite shows such great writing

[@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

[@trackmasterrailwayseries9722]

“Time heals all wounds” Not this time daffy, not this time.

[@TimmyDaTurtle]

I honestly always loved the tone the looney tunes show set. Instead of just taking the approach of slapstick, they gave us a sort of sitcom with a few slapstick elements here and there. Daffy 100% was the best part. Whats strange is when it came out, I always thought people liked it. I feel like it was the one show that I could binge watch on repeat, and never get tired of, because the writing is that good. I really wish the looney tunes show could get a revival at this point.

[@Flopfist]

That scene where daffy surprises bugs by coming out of the cruise ships blow horn or whatever bugs says "I saw my whole life flash before my eyes" and because that was the first time I had heard that expression I have always remembered it

[@mattvacc3755]

I feel like Rabbits run is the ending it deserved. Even though I’m disappointed Kristen Wiig wasn’t Lola since I always thought she did it SO WELL. I still really like the story and it’s just a better finale

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.

[@mellorine893]

i just watched the full 2 seasons. at first i thought it's just the typical cartoons where characters fight or hit each other, but this was different and so good! Each character has its own distinct (more realistic) personality that makes them standout and create great storylines that are somehow relatable. I genuinely had tons of laughs with dialogues i never saw coming! i love the hint of bonds; friendship and romance between the characters! i love the character designs too :3 i really hope they continue making season 3 seeing that it's slowly getting the recognition now that it deserves way back. hope they inlclude it too in netflix or hulu to popularize it.

[@marioandco.6366]

This is probably the most underrated show I've ever seen, hilarious and forgotten

[@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.

[@jonettheonly]

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?

[@JakeyAnimates]

I used to love this show back in like 2012 when everyone hated it and it’s nice to see people acknowledging it for the show it is, and that actually makes me happy.
