==Trivia==
*Unlike the original run, all shorts are branded as Looney Tunes, although the Merrie Melodies theme song (Merrily We Roll Along) is played instead.
*Some characters created in most recent incarnations (Space Jam, The Looney Tunes Show and Wabbit/New Looney Tunes) appear on the series as well.
*To distinguish it from the original shorts, New Looney Tunes and Looney Tunes Cartoons, the series is labeled on channel schedules and HBO Max as "Looney Tunes 2019".
*The developers of the series retained the characters close to their origins, while still incorporating modern elements as well like computers, cable television, cell phones and video games.
*While keeping iconic pairings, the developers took advantage to create new pairings with an unique approach.
*The Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs characters, due to both being part of the Looney Tunes franchise, also make occasional appearances on the series.
