The Looney Tunes Show: Season 1, Vol. 1

I love it. Sitcom show.

I couldn't believe how hard I was laughing the first time I watched this disc. What, the Looney Tunes are funny again?! In a 21st century setting? How'd that happen?Some viewers are awfully disappointed that THE LOONEY TUNES SHOW isn't an attempt to revive the characters in the style of the classic theatrical shorts we all know and love. First of all,  Looney Tunes Back In Action  tried to do that very thing, and failed miserably. Second, this show is a TV sitcom, but a sitcom so aware of six decades of television history that it comes to us with a sly, subversive panache worthy of Bugs himself. There are knowing winks at SEINFELD's great ensemble pieces and its comedy of escalating nuisances; THE ODD COUPLE's successful formula of oil-and-water roommates; THE REN & STIMPY SHOW's unholy marriage of kidvid and August Strindberg; and THE JACK BENNY SHOW's metafictional premise of comic actors playing warped versions of themselves (in this case, it's Bugs and Daffy playing new, downscaled characters called "Bugs Bunny" and "Daffy Duck" -- and it works brilliantly).Let's remember that the theatrical Looney Tunes shorts were made for adults as well as kids, and the new show takes that outlook and runs with it. It's disconcerting but somehow logical to see Bugs and Daffy cohabitating, though Daffy is a bum who crashed on Bugs's sofa five years ago and hasn't left since; they remind me of a divorced showbiz couple living only to torment each other, but who stay together because the act is too good to break up. Lola Bunny returns as a beautiful but completely crazy stalker obsessed with Bugs. Yosemite Sam is scarier as a well meaning but paranoid next door neighbor than he ever was as a career criminal. And no one's pretending that Mac and Tosh, the gophers, are anything other than a deliriously happy gay couple now living in a permanent honeymoon.Forget the rounded look of the old cartoons, though. Now the characters are drawn in an angular, extremely stylized manner owing a lot to John Kricfalusi and his crew. Daffy's wild takes in the second kitchen sequence in "Best Friends" (with Daffy on the receiving end of a "motivational" speech by a no-nonsense Speedy Gonzalez) could've been lifted wholesale from episodes of the twenty-year-old REN & STIMPY SHOW, but I'm damned if they don't look good in this setting. The voice work is uniformly excellent, and the backgrounds are drawn with real character and presence -- more than once I was reminded of Maurice Noble's gorgeously rendered environments from forty or fifty years ago.In short: these characters may be cash cows, but they ain't museum pieces. These are Tunes for our times, and they're as funny as they ever were.

As an adult, I find these absolutely hilarious, and I love watching them with my children. Bugs is witty and always smooth, and his girlfrind Lola , voiced by Kristen Wiig, is a doll and a half. Yes, I love good cartoons, and because there is a dearth of them, I find this one just a wonderful rarity. I do wish that these were released better. These have taken so much time to release, and then there are just a few episodes on each each DVD. A bit selfish of the company, in many peoples' opinion. Yet, these are fun, witty, smart cartoons.

Great reintroduction of the Toons to a new generation. Has a horrible presentation with the way that the DVD boxset is put together. 4 episodes for the pricing this retailer has is atrocious, yet I paid, because I don't know how long these DVDs will be in existence.

I love Looney Tunes!! Please be aware that this is not the complete series. Season 2 is not available for purchase. If you want the entire series you can't get it. This is Season 1. It is a great series.

This Is a great show even for adults with all the innuendo

Didnt arrive, had to get a replacement but other than that i love it and finished it

Not as many episodes as expected or wished for- only about 4 episodes- but all in all the quality and originality of the program is there. Love the Lola Bunny episodes!

Excellent! Arrived in perfect condition. Very funny, a modern take on Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc. Same characters, but with current dialogue and scenarios.I didn't know this version even existed until I came across a few episodes on line.It is very funny, especially Daffy Duck as an uber narcissist!Rare Waves CA has great stuff and superb customer service.Love it!

Grew up with Looney Tunes, so every generation of Tunes no matter what, always funny to the bone. Season 1 and 2, both extremely funny, thanks!
