Wabbit/New Looney Tunes is a continuation (sort-of) of the original Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts from 1930-1969, with 312 new adventures for Bugs Bunny and all his friends. Each episode contains two fun-filled cartoon shorts.
In this TV series, some of the Looney Tunes characters are given new traits: Wile E. Coyote, for example, is Bugs' smart-aleck neighbor (akin to Wile E.'s previous outings with the rabbit), Yosemite Sam has a pudgy appearance and a larger mustache, and the Tasmanian Devil (renamed "Theodore Tasmanian") is employed as an accountant, though he represses his true self.
Added in are new characters who come to befriend the Looney Tunes like Squeaks the Squirrel and a childlike version of Bigfoot.
Likewise, Bugs (and Daffy starting from Season 2) faces new and classic villains, but not without the help of his friends. Bugs faces off against Cal, a Barbarian, a Leprechaun, hazmats, or a rabbit version of the Grim Reaper named Carl the Grim Rabbit.

== Notes ==
* The series was originally going to be a short film with a teen/adult demographic in mind and was going to be rated PG-13. The short would have been about Bugs Bunny being sent to Hell by the Grim Reaper. The short would have poked fun at the less savoury aspects of the character's history. Elements of it were reused for the episode "The Grim Rabbit".https://vimeo.com/125736213 Your Bunny or your Life.
* This is yet another installment in the Looney Tunes franchise to introduce new characters but focus on mainly one character, Bugs Bunny. However, this has been retooled in the second season, in where there are episodes that focus on other Looney Tunes characters as well as Bugs.
* Originally, Squeaks the Squirrel had a different prototypical design (see Gallery).
* The TV Guide Comic-Con Special Issue featured a redesigned version of Squeaks the Squirrel.
* The show evokes the classics (like Warner Bros.' The Tom and Jerry Show), but tries to stay away from many of the cliches (e.g. rarely anvils or TNT). Sometimes, a cliche will be used if needed.
* Since near the end of the first season, the rest of the other Looney Tunes characters would slowly debut in this show as the series progresses.
** Porky Pig first appears in "Airpork Security".
** Daffy Duck first appears in "Porky's Duck-Livery Service". He also appeared in the Boomerang Upfront for 2017.
** Elmer Fudd first appears in "Bugs in the Petting Zoo" according to a WB Kids YouTube clip.
** Cecil Turtle first appears in "Tour De Bugs".
** Tweety, Sylvester, and Granny first appear in "Easter Tweets".
** Pepé Le Pew first appears in "Superscooter 3000".
** Marvin the Martian first appears in "When Marvin Comes Martian In".
** Road Runner first appears in "Acme Instant".
** Gabby Goat first appears in "Gettin' Your Goat".
** Speedy Gonzales, Claude Cat and Pete Puma first appear in the two-part "Tweet Team".
** Mac and Tosh first appear in "Fool's Gold".
** Lola Bunny first appears in "Hare to the Throne".
** Sniffles first appears in "DarkBat".
* This was the first Looney Tunes television series not to feature any of the original voice actors from the classic shorts in any capacity; as the last surviving voice actors of the original Looney Tunes shorts, Stan Freberg and June Foray, have both passed away in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
** Since June Foray has passed away in 2017, Candi Milo provided voice work for Granny starting in Season 2.
** Since Stan Freberg passed away in 2015, John Kassir provided voice work for Pete Puma starting in Season 2, a role that he had already performed on The Looney Tunes Show.
* Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot first appear in "Pussyfoot Soldier", though Marc Anthony previously appeared without Pussyfoot in the two-part Tweet Team.
* This was Dee Bradley Baker's first time voicing Daffy in a television series and his second time overall since Space Jam in 1996.
* All of the characters from the Looney Tunes universe appear in certain designs from certain classic cartoons in this show.
** Bugs Bunny appears in his design from the mid-1940s cartoons.
** Daffy Duck appears in his design from "Porky Pig's Feat"
** Porky Pig appears in his original design from the mid-1930s cartoons.
** Elmer Fudd appears in his design from 1950s and onward.
** Yosemite Sam appears in his design from his debut cartoon "Hare Trigger", albeit appearing more portly in appearance.
** Foghorn Leghorn appears in his design from the 1950s and onward, albeit with smaller eyes.
** Tweety appears in his original design from the Bob Clampett-directed cartoons, albeit with yellow feathers added.
** Sylvester appears in his design from the late-1940s Robert McKimson-directed cartoons.
** Granny appears in her design from the late-1950s.
** Marvin the Martian appears in his design from "The Hasty Hare" and onward.
** Petunia Pig's design appears to be a hybrid of both her design from the 1937 Frank Tashlin-directed cartoons and the her design from the 1939 Bob Clampett-directed cartoons.
** Both Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner appear in their designs from the early-1960s, albeit with Wile E. looking scruffier.
** Claude Cat appears in his design from the early-1950s non-Hubie and Bertie cartoons.
** Pepé Le Pew appears in his design from "Odor of the Day".
** Speedy Gonzales appears in his design from his eponymous cartoon short and onward.
** Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot appear in their designs from their debut cartoon, "Feed the Kitty".
