The Looney Tunes Show

The Looney Tunes Show is a animated sitcom that ran from May 3rd, 2011, to August 31st, 2014. The series was created by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone, who also created the 2003 Cartoon Network show Duck Dodgers.

The show was later cancelled after the end of its second season to make way for the TV series New Looney Tunes, or Wabbit, mostly because it wasn’t well received by the executives at Warner Brothers. It did receive a direct to DVD movie, Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run released on May 1st, 2015.

The show contains less of the usual slapstick, visual gags of the original Looney Tunes shorts, and was instead more dialogue and adult driven than usual, discussing relationships, roommates, employment, and more. Unlike most spin-offs, this series had a TV-PG rating, the first and only Looney Tunes TV series to not have a TV-Y or Y7 rating.

The show ran for two seasons, and was originally pitched as a more original Looney Tunes series, Looney Tunes Laff Riot. The episode Casa De Calma, as well as some Roadrunner CGI shorts and segments of other episodes were originally going to be in the show.

## Plot

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck live in the Los Angeles suburbs, surrounded by neighbors such as Granny, Sylvester, Tweety, Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, Taz, Gossamer, and Witch Lezah, and other characters from the original Looney Tunes cast, such as Porky Pig, Tina Russo, Lola Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Pete Puma, Foghorn Leghorn, and Cecil Turtle.

Bugs and Daffy live in the same house and solve problems that arise in their day to day life, usually due to Daffy’s greed, jealousy, and stupidity.

Instead of being rivals, Bugs and Daffy are friends and roommates, and most other Looney Tunes rivals are friendly or just living alongside them. However, Daffy retains his old personality, just updated for modern problems and struggles. Yosemite Sam, Witch Lezah, Gossamer, Pete Puma, and Marvin the Martian are also changed to be friendlier characters tolerable of Bugs, but still retain aspects of their original personalities. Elmer Fudd is far removed from other characters, being a news reporter who never interacts with any of the characters except for Daffy and Foghorn.

The Roadrunner and Coyote are in CG animated shorts in Season One, and characters are featured in short songs called Merrie Melodies, a play on the originally music focused sister series to the original Looney Tunes cartoons.
