I grew up with the Looney Tunes all my life. The original shorts were quick, packed with a laugh a second, and brilliantly written. But when I saw the first episode, I felt something was wrong. The jokes were dead pan unfunny, the designs were too fluffy, and the overall execution was just boring. Each time a frame passed by, I felt something churning in my stomach, as if the laughter in me was dying slowly.
This take of "sitcom-ing" Bugs and pals just doesn't fit their quota. I felt they were taking the "Family Guy" route too far and just seemed unoriginal. We've seen this before with The Drew Carey Show (the idea of having odd ball friends and trying to live a normal life in an insane world), Norm, and Ren & Stimpy. Just not with the Looney Tunes. All I ask is for Cartoon Network to listen up and reconsider what they have done or at least improve things in Season 2. That is there will not be one; pray to that. I say, skip it and purchase the Gold Collection sets. In due time, nothing will live up to the wit and charm of a duck and rabbit arguing over what hunting season it is.
