    Most modern Looney Tunes try to replicate the style of the classics but don't quite recapture the magic. The Looney Tunes Show works for me because it doesn't even try to be like the originals, and because of that, has a unique sense of humor that a lot of people remember fondly

      Sonic Boom only gained popularity because of the movies
      It's still bad- it's as if the writers don't know what the Sonic crew was about. Which was friendship and adventure, even if this was a alternative world, I don't see myself watching this again unlike The Looney Tunes Show
      Looney Tunes Show was something I always enjoyed and can see myself watching it again, because it's actually funny and they aren't randomly mean to eachother they have at least some hints thrown as to why they act the way they do, for example Daffy was this mean spirited towards Porky because Porky bullied him at highschool. To this day Daffy held a grudge against Porky, doesn't excuse his actions but it explains them far better than Sonic being an as* to Tails for no reason, doesn't sit well nor is it funny.

      I think the humor of it was because Elmer was this well paid established news anchor, who had this weird habit that he probably kept to himself.
      I was sad we never got to see an episode based on him. The Looney Tunes Show felt like an actual universe with so much untapped potential.

      Maybe it was just a time slot thing…
      The issue is that they targeted younger audiences, but it more easily works as an all-age show. So if it aired at around the crossover point between daytime and prime time TV (the point where cartoons stop for the day and we transition into family programs), it might have done better. Especially since much of the older demographic would be watching a new take on something they likely grew up with.

I watched every version of these characters there ever was and I truly believe this show is the best version of looney tunes hands down. I don’t care what anyone says! Every bit of this show is so well done from, plots and character development, to designs and animation quality, and every joke hits so well it makes the show perfect for adults and children alike. That all being said it’s an incredibly underrated matter piece and one of the greatest shows period. I only hope it gets it’s full respect someday.

    Very well written with so many golden moments, and jokes and just great television. It was one of the last sarcastic, witty and ‘edgy’ cartoons that could be watched by kids and adults in a period of PC cartoons. LTS took risks well while keeping all the classic LT fun.

    My family and I used to feel like the only people on earth who watched this show! I’ve been rewatching it and just as funny as I remember. Thanks for keeping its memory alive!

    I used to love this show back in like 2012 when everyone hated it and it’s nice to see people acknowledging it for the show it is, and that actually makes me happy.

    "Porky was Sylvester's Owner" That's because in the early episodes, with the first inroduction of the two characters, Porky was Sylvesters owner

    I think the Looney Tunes show is one of the greatest cartoons of all time, not just a great CN cartoon. It was hilarious and had me in stitches in almost every episode. Even the clips you included in this video, I laughed at all of them. That one insane episode where Lola becomes a nun, Daffy goes to the military, and Bugs and Porky getting peach chobbler was one of the craziest and most ridiculous occurences I've ever seen in a cartoon because of how absurd it all was and how it all compounded together and ended. My favorite episode. I wish they'd put it on Netflix or Hulu or something. Wait, is it on HBO Max?

    This show was underrated because it was marketed to kids despite actually being more relatable to adults.
