What's Up, Doc?
Looney Tunes is my favorite cartoon series ever made. It combined killer comedy to great animation and voice work. It will never be replaced, not even in a million years. Ever since Tiny Toons was over, people have wanted a good Looney Tunes show. Sadly, things like Loonatics or Baby Looney Tunes haven't worked out. Then, I heard some brilliant news. Someone was making another Looney Tunes show! It had Maurice LaMarche, Kath Soucie, and some other great actors. Well, did it live up to the hype? No it did not. The Looney Tunes Show is an insect compared to the original thing. Well, is it even an entertaining thing to watch? Defiantly, but not as good as the real show. Let me review the first episode to tell you why. Before I start, let me tell you some other things. Kath Soucie was actually supposed to play Lola Bunny and Sniffle, since she played them in Space Jam. But then, she was taken off the show. That flat out stunk for me. Kath is one of my favorite actresses. But let me stop there, here is my review for The Looney Tunes Show. The first episode has Bugs and Daffy living together as roommates. Daffy wants to win a game show, so decides to go on a game show about your best friend. Sadly for him, he doesn't know one thing about Bugs, despite being best friends. Anyway, they go on the game show to compete against the Goofy Gophers. The gophers beat them and win a cruise around the sea. Bugs gets angry and tells Daffy he's not his best friend. After that, the show cuts to a musical segment called Merrie Melodies. These are small songs made by the writers. They're comical, and original. This one was called Grilled Cheese, and featured Elmer Fudd. He basically sings about his love for grilled cheese. Are these segments good? They are okay I guess. But lets get back to the episode. The next day, Daffy meets Speedy Gonzales in his house. Speedy tells Daffy that to win Bugs back, he must become a real friend. So, Daffy gets them to go on a cruise and try to have fun. Well, after some stalker like minutes, Bugs tells Daffy that they're friends again. When the cruise ends, Bugs asks Daffy how he got the cruise. Daffy tells him that he used his credit card to pay for it. He goes off telling everyone Bugs' credit card number, but the rabbit stops him before he can finish. And that's the end of the episode. Now, let me give you my observation. The artwork is very distinct, and it looks good. The voices are okay. Speedy and the Gophers are good, but Bugs and Daffy are a little off. Then, the plot is pretty good. I just wish it had more funny moments. Well, let me just say that this show is a good thing to watch. Is it a good replacement for the real thing? Not at all, but it's good. So, I give The Looney Tunes Show a 4 out of 5, for being a just good show.
