Show Summary

  • Ended
Looney Tunes is a show that reruns classic cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Pepe le Pew, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn and more. These classic characters were featured in 1000+ theatrical cartoons and many prime-time specials made for TV as well as numerous classic cartoon excerpts. Looney Tunes was originally aimed at an adult audience when it aired for the first time in 1955, but unfortunately it was censored. 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. This show started in 1988 and ended in 1999. Now, the Boomerang block on Cartoon Network is the only place in the US where you can still see these timeless classic characters and their animated antics.moreless

    I love Looney Tunes, all of the looney tune shows are great. This show is amazing and it's for everyone too watch. This show has over 50 seasons and it's pretty much the longest running TV series ever. If you look over the crappy FAMILY GUY, they only have 7 seasons. The have shprts with Bugs Bunney, Slyvester, Daffy Duck, Elmer, Porky Pig and other shorts. Even the spin-offs for the show was great, cough *Tom and Jerry spin-offs suck*. I use to watch this show ALOT but now you see, CN are new to this fad that Nickelodean and Disney are taking. It's called "CRACK". Overall, this is the best show CN ever had.moreless

    Now the original Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies featurettes are what I grew up on watching. These are the real things, not the Looney Tunes Show. I remember watching them heavily in the '90s, whether in the mornings or the afternoons on the various channels it aired: Nick, TBS, Cartoon Network, etc. I also had a few various shorts VHS tape compilations featuring the characters and rented others. Although there have been t.v. series projects involving the LTs, with Tiny Toons Adventures and Duck Dodgers being the best in my eyes, nothing will ever coming close to matching the level of this. One of the best animated shorts series of all time. Brilliant, just brilliant! I still love them so much that I already own half of the Looney Tunes Golden Collections DVD box sets (currently have volumes 2, 3 and 6). It's been great seeing those I already had seen again, both on those and Youtube. Some I grew up on watching, others I didn't see growing up (like the very last, classic era/W-7 Arts short Injun Trouble, the one with Cool Cat, not Porky Pig), and others I still never saw. I haven't seen all of them, so I still have a lot of catching up to do on those.

    When I was little/younger, I didn't really laugh at the cartoons, although that doesn't mean I didn't think any of them were ever funny. They still entertained me just fine. But I just wasn't getting or feeling that urge to laugh. Maybe part of the reason is because there were some jokes I just didn't get or know about at the time. The perfect example would be that "A Tale of Two Kitties" short. The part where Catsello says "If the censors would let me, I'd give him (Babbit) the bird alright", which I'd find out what that really means years later rather than literally giving him an actual bird. It's true what they say about some stuff goig over kids' heads, I see what they mean. There are so many of the classics from the epoch between 1930 and '69 to choose as favorites, but to name one for me, among others would be Porky Pig's Feat (the black and white version I first saw as part of one of the VHS compilations I mentioned). If anyone is looking for a lesson on how to makes great cartoon series, then the LT/MMs would be one of the first places and best places to start. The WB animated featurettes from the late '50s onward (including the Depatie-Freleng and W-7 Arts years in the mid and late '60s) may not be up to par with some certain, other ones in years prior, but next to recent tripe like the Nicktoon Fanboy and Chum Chum, they compare to nothing and they're not as bad.

    For those new to this, this is one I highly and definitely would recommend. The shorts (not all of which have been brought to DVD), depending on which one's you're looking for and whether you're on a budget for whatever reason, are available on the aforementioned Golden Collection sets (which are pricier), the Spotlight Collections and others (many of which are less pricey). For those who can afford any of the Golden Collections, I say get those and that they're better, due to the extras or bonus features included, one of the most interesting of which being the Mel Blanc documentary The Man of a Thousand Voices, from the last volume, Vol. 6. Plus, the shorts with the original, objectionable, controversial content is intact on these, the Spotlight Collections feature cut versions or omit certain shorts with too much of that particular material to include. However, although because of that, the Golden Collections are intended more for adult collectors than kids or rather a general audience that would include them, but some parents can talk to their kids, explaining the disclaimers and the history/reputation behind certain featurettes before watching with them or letting them watch on their own. These were, are and will continue to be among the best. Great memories and the brighter moments of my childhood I'll always be grateful for and treasure. Miles ahead of Baby Looney Tunes, Loonatics Unleashed and The Looney Tunes Show.moreless

    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
