On the plus side, no Merry Melodie this week. Gossamer and Daffy's singing was painful enough.

The rest of the episode was average as usual. Daffy actually had some pretty good lines, but I don't really like Bubbie from Flapjack as Witch Lezah (seriously, just call her Hazel again and bring June Foray back) or the little kid as Gossamer, and the subplot didn't do much for me. Also, I thought the Road Runner short was a step down from the first one.

I downloaded the first six episodes of the show(how many have aired so far?), and except for the filler bits, I actually kind of like what I've seen.  I don't really know why, but I think it works, and while it ain't the classic shorts, it isn't terribad either.

I would kind of like to know why Bugs drives a Toyota Prius, or why after years of bitching, the voices/accents for both Speedy and Pepe are really stereotypical, perhaps even moreso than their original voices.

Heh, good points. Speedy's voice rubbed me the wrong way the moment I heard it, myself. It is a little stereotypical.

As for this week's ep, I thought it was aight as usual, at least from what I remember. The constant Batman namedrops seemed a little out of place for the show, though, even considering the one for Superman in the first episode.

So I heard Yesterday's episode was a hold-over from when the show was known as Laff-Riot. I haven't seen it yet, but I thought that one factoid I see being spread around on toonzone was interesting. I'm getting on that right now.

Casa de Calma (the Laff Riot holdover) was excellent. That, IMO, is how this series should be handled. It was almost perfect; lots of slapstick, and the writing felt very akin to the Silver Age days... which, given the crew involved, is something I've been waiting quite a long time for.

Couple of the jokes were stale and repeated wayyyyy too often once again (bad trend I'm noticing so far; they really beat some of these punchlines into the ground), but otherwise, it was pretty darn good. Unfortunately, I can't really say the same for the one episode I've seen since. Apparently it was back to the drawing board from there, and the Taz episode that followed was mediocre and rather underwhelming (ala, pretty much like every other episode before Casa de Calma).

I'm ashamed to say that I missed Foghorn's episode the other night, but I'll try and get on that soon. Haven't seen the reaction for that one yet either, but hopefully it's good.

I agree, that's the direction they should be heading in... But since it's an idea from the scrapped project, I'm not too sure if they WANT to go in that direction.

Also, more crazy Daffy and less asshole Daffy is always appreciated.

That has got to be the best episode of the show so far. I have really enjoyed the last three episodes in general, though. You should check out the new one out as soon as you can, especially if you love Foghorn.

This... I gave it a chance.

Twice, even. It's just not doing anything for me. The character designs look jagged and I'm not digging anything else either.

I'm still watching it, although I'm gonna be honest and say that the fist fight in the most recent one was off-putting to me.  I guess it's been getting positive reviews, but as I said here it's really the most out-of-character that they have been in the show so far.  You just didn't see this stuff in the old shorts.

I think if I had to pick favorites, I'd say that I've enjoyed "Fish and Visitors", "Devil Dog", and of course "Casa De Calma" the most.

Make sure you guys watch Casa De Calma before you completely give up on the show. If only because it will give you a better taste in your mouth then just quitting due to boredom.

Though seriously, if that is what Laff Riot was going to be... Fuck you, WB. I want that show.

Fucking seriously?  It's a little too damn soon for this, isn't it WHV?

That's not to mention we still can't get the rest of TTA on DVD, or even half-decent releases of the original shorts.  Bunch of fucking trolls, that company.

Damn, they really want to test the popularity of this show. I probably won't buy it, but it's pretty interesting to see them announcing it.
