this show is awful cause it is adapted for todays culture, which is just plain wrong!
when the show was first conceived, it was done at a time when people were not so materialistic!
the show that is on today should be cancelled NOW!!!
Makes me miss the Tiny Toons even more, that was an ingenious modernization of the Loony Toons style of humor. Babs is much better female Bugs then stupid Lola.
This show is watchable though.
The goal of this show was not to make Lola a female Bugs, but to finally make her her own character.

That's true, on this show Tina is the female Bugs, and Lola is more like Daffy.

Actually, no...this show is great. The writing is funny, the character designs are cool and it's the best 'new' material to feature these classic characters in years.

Guess what? The original Looney Tunes cartoons were made to adapt to the culture of their time as well. This show is far from an abomination. It's well written, very funny, and it does a great job at adapting the characters to fit into a modern show.
shareI'm sorry but are you mentally ill?
I've watched loads of cartoons in my time and this one is one of the best. it teaches kids how real life works with looney tunes characters and is very watchable for adults. don't be so selfish and just let us enjoy this show, you can download the old material if you want, whatever stops your whining!
yes, how dare a show made in 2012 reflect the society and culture of 2012.
can you imagine if the original shorts reflected the 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s....that would just be weird.
This may come as a surprise to you, but rabbits in the 21st century still live in warrens!
Madness I know, what when they could be living in a suburban home and driving a Prius.
Do you know many people who go hunt them there? Or hunt the ducks? I don't.
Rabbits in the 40s also didn't travel underground to overseas vacations, not did they went to Mars, fight in boxing rings or sing opera.
The animals are the same (duh), but if you actually wanted the cartoon to be about a rabbit you would have watched this:

and not this:

Big shocker: Bugs, Daffy and the others are ANTHROPOMORPHIZED animals. They are equally human as they are animal and there are plenty of Looney Tunes stories where being a bunny or being a regular human would make little to no difference.
Society changed, Bug's human side has to change as well - or just rehash the old stories. I'd rather have something new and keep the old stories for when that's what I want. The Roadrunner CG-I shorts try to do what you wanteds and they are the weakest of the bunch.
I don't know that it's quite an abomination, but I don't think it's good. It has nothing to do with materialism (although I do generally hate it when something great is "adapted for today's culture," which usually means nothing more than "We lazily cheapened and dumbified it.") This show wasn't THAT bad, but...yeah, like I said, I didn't much care for it.
I just found it pointless and needless. At no point did it approach the quality of the original Looney cartoons, so while I kind of appreciate the attempt to add onto those, I might as well have just watched them again instead. This didn't look, feel, or sound enough like the Looney Tunes to me. I didn't care for the animation style; the smooth, polished look of something like Space Jam was beautiful, and I know you can't compare the animation capabilities of a feature film to an episodic TV program...but I would probably have liked it more if they could've tried to approximate that a bit more closely.
I never found this quite funny or authentic enough to justify its creation (other than to pay people to animate something.) Other little Looney spin-off series were better, imo--such as Baby Looney Tunes or The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. Neither is exactly excellent, but I enjoyed them more than this. (Strangely enough, Lola was in the baby episodes...meaning they either forgot that they'd known each other as infants, or she just disappeared for a long time and then showed up again one day in the gymnasium when they needed to assemble a basketball team! It seemed as though none of them remembered her at all, so they must not have retained their baby memories.)
Loonatics Unleashed was also meh, but at least that was like a fantasy superhero group, rather than the Looney Tunes directly.
I didn't even like the original Looney Tunes, so this show was a surprise. Bugs isn't a jerk for no good reason, Daffy doesn't get physically abused every minute, Lola isn't just a character added for "sexy" reasons and all the minor characters are fully fleshed out.
It does good at what it is: a sitcom. There's satire, there's cameos from the "old" version, the jokes are funny and most of the characters are likable. I don't really like what they did to Daffy and Lola (Most annoying characters ever), but I'm sure they changed their personalities to keep the show "fresh" and open for new ideas. Several voice actors (at least in the "norwegian" version) also has the same voice actor from the original Looney Tunes series.
