The Looney Tunes Show

[Avaitor]

This April.

You ready?

[Foggle]

If it's as bad as other recent Looney offerings, then no. God no.

[Spark Of Spirit]

We don't know how good it is yet. But still, two months is quite a while.

[Commode]

Bugs' design still looks like complete shit, and the banner that was posted doesn't instill much hope for me, but apparently the actual show is supposed to look different than what we've seen(although it doesn't make much sense, but whatever).  These drawings that John Dorian posted(please quit being so goddamned defensive of the show, please?) are really good though.  I'm still gonna give it a chance, but more than likely after it hits the internet, rather than having to watch CN.

Speaking of, the only way CN is planning on promoting the new show is through Looney Tunes: Back in Action and the premier of Space Jam, rather than a marathon of the classic shorts?  Talk about a kick in the balls...

[Avaitor]

Really?

Typical CN...

Who cares if it costs a little to air the classics? Buy the fucking rights again, even if it's just for one night.

What the fuck. This is the worst thing I've read all day.

They only air latter-day Dexter too. I don't know why they can't seem to air the good stuff.

They only air latter-day Dexter too. I don't know why they can't seem to air the good stuff.

They only started that recently (i.e. after they aired the early Dexter stuff).

[Avaitor]

I think this week they're also starting post-movie PPG, and for some reason CN won't stop playing the first two seasons of Eds.

Those are okay since they have played the good episodes already since they went back on the channel.

This is unforgivable.

Now it's been moved to May for whatever reason. Oh well, on at least Cartoon Network gave us a sample of what to expect from it.

Out of these clips, I only got a good laugh out of the Basketball one, but I think it's because it kind of reminded me of something I would see on Regular Show, which isn't bad for me, since I love Regular Show and all. But that's the thing, I could have just put Mordecai in the same role as Bugs, and Rigby in the same role as Daffy, and it would have produced the same result for me.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Is it on youtube yet?

[Avaitor]

Yeah, these aren't feeling very Looney at all.

That's not to day that they are awful, because I got a chuckle or two. But they feel more like something you'd see on any other cartoon series than you would in a Looney Tunes short.

[Neomysterion X. Prime]

April to May, no big difference.

If you ask me, the humour that The Looney Tunes Show offers is near similar to MAD's, only more random and more memorable.

I got a major kick out of the second clip myself. Count Leopold von Licktenstein is spelled "Bob Jones"? Golly, we'll be in for a good one. 

I'd still go for some classic Looney Tunes myself after this... 

[Avaitor]

Oh, as for Desen's request.

It's weird. I actually liked them all and found them pretty funny, but not Looney Tunes funny. They have a more modern sense of humor, and not as many physical gags. That we've seen, anyway.

So yeah, I think this will be divisive overall but more depending on your sense of humor, I think. Unless of course there's just a lot more stuff we haven't seen yet that's more old school style humor. Which is very possible.

Either way, it's way better than the last few attempts at a revival, I can at least say that with 100% confidence.
