Cartoon Network is launching a new version of the classic Warner Bros.
series "Looney Tunes."
The Looney Toons Show" will star Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, along with
Yosemite Sam,
Tweety, Sylvester
-- the whole gang. Weirdly, the network is having each episode as a
half-hour story along with "cartoons within a cartoon." The concept
takes Bugs and Daffy out of the woods (awww) and puts them into the
suburbs (arrrh!) with "colorful neighbors." You would think in the age
of YouTube, re-embracing the show's original seven-minute short-form
format would be the smart play here instead of trying for a weekly
version of "Desperate Houseduck."
"Looney Tunes" will also having classic characters singing original
songs in two-minute music videos called Merrie Melodies and the Road
Runner and Coyote in CG shorts.
