It eventually became a show for children known as The Bugs Bunny Show in 1960, which aired on ABC. Looney Tunes made it's way to Nickelodeon along with numerous Warner Bros. classic cartoons including some of their oldest black-and-whites and almost their complete canon of '60s cartoons.

    I have seen plenty of excellent TV shows, but in my mind there will only be one that is king of them all the Looney Tunes. Everything about this show is so revolutionary from the comedy to the characters it paved the way for so many shows. It's because of this show that many good shows are able to be around today, and it all stems from this show. The Looney Tunes Show is about a group of animals having wacky adventures of dealing with stuff that happens to them daily. From humans being cruel to other animals the episodes are full of antics and slapstick comedy. Each Looney Tune brings hilarious funny moments that are very creative and original. All the characters on this show are excellent, lovable, and memorable. You have Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, The Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, and I haven't even scratched the surface as to how many characters there are in this show. The comedy is the best comedy ever to be shown on television, and influenced so many shows with its slapstick, and running gags. There is never a dull moment in this show, and every minute if it will leave people rolling on the floor in laughter until they can't breathe. The artwork is beautiful. The characters have original designs to them, the set designs are creative, and it got better as the show went on. The animation is excellent and flows very smooth in this show. Probably my favorite shorts had to be the Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner shorts. The Looney Tunes would also have TV movies that are really good and funny like the shorts. They even had 2 theatrical films: Space Jam, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and I enjoyed them immensely. If it wasn't for this show, so many other shows wouldn't be around at all, and this show continues to influence cartoons to this day. Everything about this show is perfect from beginning to end, and has definitely earned itself as the best TV show to ever be on television. If you have never seen this show at all, then see this show at all costs. Go to an FYE and get the DVD sets, or see the movies that stared them, and you will not be disappointed. This isn't just a cartoon, it is THE cartoon.moreless

    I have been watching Looney Tunes since I was five, and it is one of the greatest cartoon series ever. It started in the late 20's, but of course, I wasn't alive for that. The cartoons started in movie theaters,then they came to Tv. But in 2004, for some reason, The Looney Tunes made a comeback. Looney Tunes Back in Action came out, The Duck Dodgers Show started to air, and more DVDs started to come out. Sadly, Cartoon Netwrok stopped airing Classic Looney Tunes shorts that year. Luckily, there's The Golden Collections that come out, and Every new years eve CN airs a marathon of the classic shorts.

    Overall, these are great, timeless shorts.moreless

    The Looney Tunes are the best out of all other cartoons! This cartoon was funny for both adults and children with innuendo and slapstick. I absolutely loved "A Wild Hare", "Rabbit Fire", and especially "Duck a Muck". Who ever hates this show definitely has mental issues. I also liked "Whiley Coyote" because it had a lot of hilarious pranks. My favorite Daffy Duck catchphrase was, "Your despicable!". I love a lot of looney tunes(but not the annoying mouse, belch), they were great! This show will always be much much better than Sponge Bob Squarepants, I don't care what anyone says.moreless

    Over the years that Warner Bros have been in buisness, there has never been cartoons like these. The Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series are simply phenomenal from the day they were created!

    To start out, these are the perfect cartoons. Why? Here's how.

    First of all, they are funny. Sure, some of the jokes are a little corny, but that's really what makes them work. If you can understand entertainment history of the time these were made, then you'll understand them better. I do. Some of these jokes are pretty violent as well, but that's alright. After all, they're only cartoons! :)

    The second thing is charm. Every character that Termite Terrace (W.B.'s vintage animation studio) has had some aspects of real people and that makes you want to identify with them. For example, Bugs Bunny is that street smart, wise cracking jokester we all know and love(I know a few people as charming, funny yet not necessarily as crazy as this hare!).
    Also, the way the characters look also makes them appealing. Chuck Jones is my personal favorite when it comes to charachter design. If you see one of his cartoons, then you'l know why.

    The third aspect is that the animation here is as good as it gets. I mean look at it! It's BEAUTIFUL! The reason why is because the animators here were talented. They make movements and positions so realistic that you'll swear that they're actors and not drawings. My personal favorite animator from WB is Bob Clampett. He made really rubbery animation but it's good for my eyes to watch. He made his stuff as cartoony as possible, so it's fun to watch. :)

    Finally, the most interesting part of these cartoons is: thier voices. It's been heard by the grapevine that one man originally voiced all of the male characters with the exception of Elmer Fudd and a few others. He was the great and late Mel Blanc. The man has TALENT! Also, June Foray did a few female voices here too. She's just as talented and she's still going strong today.

    Don't get me wrong, I think some modern cartoons and others made around the time these were made are funny and fun to watch, but they're nothing compared with these gems. No other cartoon can even come CLOSE to topping them!

    I think it sucks that the score only goes up to ten. If it were up to me, I'd give the Looney Tunes/Merrie Moldies series a 1,000,000,000!moreless
