Well, starting over again.
Let's discuss EVERYTHING Looney Tunes related from the first frames to today!

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Looney_Tunes

My personal fave is, of course, Pepe Le Pew, no?

[Nepenthe]

I absolutely adore the Looney Tunes, and they've always been an inspiration of mine. The lastability of their signature gags and character match-ups, the brilliant comedic timing, the voice acting and characterizations, the music, the parodies-- The series is frankly unparalleled in how much they've shaped the idea of the basic animated comedy short, and it's an absolute disgrace that the cartoons aren't played on regular cable here all that often anymore. Hooray for YouTube, eh? xP

Now, I personally can't decide on a single favorite Looney Tune of mine. But Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam, Wile E., Taz (although moreso his spin-off characterization), Foghorn Leghorn, and severely underrated and unknown Charlie Dog are the most hilarious of the bunch to me.

[Lemanic]

Well, I probably have a death wish, but, I really like Loonatics Unleashed. The first season, at least. Then this despicable Pierre came and ruined it. Why didn't he get into the team?

[Wolfy]

I've always liked the Roadrunner episodes, <3. I always loved seeing what crazy ass Acme Product Wile was going to get next, XD. Anything with Marvin the Martian was awesome too, 83.

Oh, and Ralph and Sam (or also called Wolf and Sheepdog) was great, XD. It cracked me up how they both clocked in like a job, acting completely civil with each other until their shifts started, XP.

Looney Tunes is the absolute greatest cartoon series ever made. No question. It has made such a vast impact on my life and my artwork. It is unmatched in its wit and its characters are easily some of the greatest ever created.

Sufferin' succotash, you'd have to be crazy not to love Looney Tunes. Despicable, even. Sylvester is my favorite character by the way. :3

[Lemanic]

My Idea for that Pep Le Pew-esque character would be a slight rename of him, like the other team members. Pedro sounds more potent than Pierre for me and it's even an homage to French House biggest manager; Pedro Winter aka Busy P, headmaster of Ed Banger Records, that happens to belong under WARNER music Group. As for attacks, he will continue with the music theme by making heart labelled vinyl records that explodes into stench bombs using scratching as a grenade trigger (Scratchin' Stench). The other one is his now teleporting ability (Skunk Funk). His looks would not be far away from an emo/new romantic. His hobbies including playing the sax, chasing women (especially that cat), DJing and write poems.

All I can say is that they just don't make cartoons like this anymore, which makes me sad =(

[Phos]

My god, this cartoon is sexist. Racist too, but mostly sexist. Also, it was ripped off a bunch by the Jetsons. I can't help but wonder if the "Motor in the rear" car was a shot at the 911 and VW Beetle? Eh, Chevrolet made some rather dire rear engined cars.

I think these "of tomorrow" ones are probably my favorites. Out of the more well known characters, my favorite tune has to be "Rabbit of Seville".

I also love the idea of Texas predating history.

Ah, who doesn't love that burly sheepdog and the Wile. E recolor just doing their jobs? I enjoy those cartoons very much as well, especially the particularly epic trap backfire in Steal Wool.

And Phos, I know I'm probably being picky considering that MGM and Warner Bros. are rather close, but since when are the MGM cartoons considered to be in the Looney Tunes line? Not that I don't love Avery's "...Of Tomorrow" series, of course. Remember the pressure cooker segment from The House of Tomorrow? Priceless.

And one more recommendation while my mind can think of the title as it always slips me: Gone Batty. You gotta love the Sweetwater Shnooks-- They may be the worst baseball team around, but they play fair, keep their heads high, and never quit. xD

I dunno. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a pretty big contender to Looney Tunes in my eyes.

Still, that doesn't take away the massive charm it has. When I was young, the only shows I would watchn would be cartoons. In fact, I was so strict by that rule that I fought anyone (even my mom) over the remote if they some much as inched over to change the channel to any soap operas.

Looney Tunes was among my most watched cartoons. For some reason, it feels as though they made very few episodes desptie how many characters and episodes they really made. There was always something about them that made me want more to this day.

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were my top two favorite characters of the cartoon. Bugs Bunny for his cockiness and comedy, and Daffy Duck for how outright silly and unlucky he is. Bugs never seems to get harmed that much, while Daffy takes several shots to the face at point blank in just a single episode.

Although, I've gotta say, it seemed as though they barely even used Taz in the series at all. I only remember seeing him at least two or three times overall.

I also enjoyed Daffy's Duck Dodgers spin-off, and it really gave him a chance to shine while keeping in touch with the character's silly nature.

As for Lunatics: Unleashed, I actually didn't think it was that bad of a show. It was just Looney Tunes with superpowers, but I honestly saw no problem with it as much as I've seen people rant about it being horrible. I've only seen 3 or 4 episodes of it tho.

[DarkOverord]

I love ep's with Marvin personally. Because of how briliant a character he is

"I'm going to blow up the earth"
"Oh okay- BLOW IT UP!?"
"Oh yes. It's ruining my view of Venus!"

But the cartoons always have a charm with me, even though now I'm 20, I'll still watch the old ones. I'm not so keen on the newer ones. Though Duck Dodgers was pretty good.

I've seen almost every ep. there is on Youtube. Good show, except for those cosplaying stand-ins, Like Pierre Le Pew and Mr. Leghorn.

[Nepenthe]

Loonatics wasn't really that bad, certainly not as much as its detractors make it out to be. But it just seemed like your run-of-the-mill animated action show: A group of young adults fight in a crime savaged world against various villains and some overlord ruler and so on and so forth. I give it up to a little of the comedy-- particularly one bit where Danger Duck berated Ace Bunny for saving him from a ship that blew up mid-argument-- but the few episodes I watched weren't anything significantly special. I may give the entire show a whole go someday; It has potential.

But as far as Looney Tunes spin-off shows go, Tiny Toon Adventures will forever take the cake; So much 90s Spielberg-ian goodness. Baby Looney Tunes is surprisingly my second, at least the seasons where they stayed at Granny's. The plots, personalities, and comedy were surprisingly well-done considering the target audience, and the songs rocked.

No <3 for Duck Dodgers?

Oh, and an another favorite of mine, Symphony in Slang

[Crystal Kingfisher]

I grew up with the Looney Tunes. My favorite characters are Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Pepe Le Pew, and Wil E. Coyote. The Wil E. Coyote cartoons are my favorite though.

Also, I love Tiny Toon Adventures and the Looney Tunes movies as well. But IMO, ever since The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, the Looney Tunes series went downhill. But despite the series going downhill with SaTM, Space Jam and Back in Action were quite good though.

[Iceman]

Yeah Space Jam is one of those movies that molded childhoods. When I was little kid, I'd watch the VHS tape all day. Recently, I watched some of the movie again online, and I still laughed at certain parts. Classic and timeless.

And for musicians to the new seasons, I would definitely prefer something french (nitpicking on Disney taking Daft Punk for TR2N), like Justice for Epicness and Mr. Oizo for Comedic Sound Editing. Add So Me into the animation process too. He's always a win.
