It's about time someone brought a lawsuit against Acme for its defective products!

I'm just happy that Wile E. Coyote finally got to eat the Roadrunner.

Wonderful memories of my two younger brothers and I watching BB&RR Hour on Saturday mornings in the 70's
When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

We've shown our kids looney toons a few times, they always enjoy it. It's just not that common anymore and they are kinda stuck at how it's old-fashioned.

But my bigger question is whether kids even really know these characters at all? What are they in nowadays?

No. Today the Coyote would be in therapy over the social media comments, the Roadrunner would have a restraining order for stalking and the Coyote would be stressed over defective Temu or Amazon orders.

If I was the lawyer for ACME I would argue that the coyote wasn't using our products as intended, that they were using our products with the intention of committing illegal acts such as murder and causing serious bodily harm.

Theee was an attempt at updating Looney Tunes characters about 15 years ago on Cartoon Network. It was called the Looney Tunes Show and was kind of like a mashup of Looney Tunes and Seinfeld. I found it entertaining, but it only last a couple of seasons.

Characters
Main
Bugs Bunny (voiced by Jeff Bergman) lives a life of upper-middle-class suburban leisure, based on income from a popular Carrot Peeler that he invented; instead of an underground borrow from the theatrical shorts, Bugs lives in a well-appointed house, drives a compact car, and provides room and board for Daffy Duck. Bugs spends his time watching sports or sitcoms on TV, hanging out with his friends and neighbors, and dating Lola Bunny.

Daffy Duck (voiced by Jeff Bergman) is the best friend of Bugs Bunny. Unlike Bugs, who is calm and optimistic, Daffy is an incompetent, loudmouthed, unproductive moocher and an ungrateful user that has no way of earning money and relies on Bugs for food and shelter. He also has a high maintenance streak, as he demands far more from his friends than he deserves and takes high advantage of gullible Porky, his other "best friend". With that said, he does have a kinder side. This is the last series of the franchise to feature Daffy as his greedy persona. Starting with New Looney Tunes, his screwball persona from the 1930s to 1940s began to be reused for the years ahead.

Porky Pig (voiced by Bob Bergen) is Bugs and Daffy's second best friend. Despite being bright and bookish, Porky has an innocent, nave quality that Daffy frequently uses to his advantage, tricking Porky into parting with large sums of money or accompanying him in bizarre schemes. Porky originally worked a boring office job as an accountant, but got fired following Bugs' example. Porky started his own catering company afterwards. In "Dear John", Porky was shown to have served on the city council. Towards the end of the series, Porky starts a relationship with Petunia in the end of the Season 2 episode "Here Comes the Pig". In "Best Friends Redux", Daffy meets Porky's young self and ensures that Porky becomes good friends with Bugs and Rodney in their cabin, finally showing Porky an act of kindness.

Speedy Gonzales (voiced by Fred Armisen) is an extremely fast Mexican mouse who lives with Bugs and Daffy as their "mouse in the wall" and runs a pizza parlor called Pizzarriba. Speedy is one of the brighter, more level-headed characters as he is not afraid to speak his mind (even standing up to Bugs at times, despite living rent free in a mouse hole in Bugs house) and has occasionally shown to act as Daffy's conscience.

Samuel "Yosemite Sam" Rosenbaum (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is a quick-tempered cowboy who is one of Bugs and Daffy's neighbors. Sam claims to be a liar, a thief and a cheat, amongst other things, like in the original cartoons, albeit the show portrays him as far less ruthless and more moral and mild-mannered with a heart of gold.

Lola Bunny (voiced by Kristen Wiig) is Bugs Bunny's obsessive girlfriend, who has a habit of speaking rapidly, whether anyone else is listening or not. When they first meet, Bugs falls in love with her, but after learning how crazy and ditsy Lola is, Bugs loses interest and often tries to escape her company. Lola develops a huge obsession with Bugs Bunny that Daffy initially finds creepy, but in later episodes Daffy and Lola become friends as neither one is very bright.

Tina Russo (voiced by Jennifer Esposito in Season 1, Annie Mumolo in Season 2) is a new character original to the show. She is a yellow duck and Daffy's girlfriend. Tina works at a copy store called "Copy Place". Tina is another straight character of the show, with a no-nonsense personality. The character was originally called Marisol Mallard in the Laff Riot pilot.[5]

Recurring

Tasmanian Devil/Taz/Poochie (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a Tasmanian devil who is Bugs' pet. In this show, Taz is portrayed as walking on four legs like a real Tasmanian devil and his eyes are bloodshot red (later turned back to yellow after Bugs uses a taming trick he learned from Speedy Gonzales). Initially, Bugs believed Taz to be a dog and kept him as a house pet named Poochie much to Daffy's discomfort. Eventually, Bugs learned the truth and tried to return him to his home in Tasmania only to find out that Taz would rather live with him. When Taz is not causing trouble for Daffy, Taz has occasionally tried to eat Sylvester. In the episode "Ridiculous Journey", Taz spoke for the first time in the series and bonded with Sylvester and Tweety while they evaded Blacque Jacques Shellacque.

Mac (voiced by Rob Paulsen) and Tosh (voiced by Jess Harnell) are two goofy gophers who run an antique store. They are shown to hate being away from each other.

Pete Puma (voiced by John Kassir) is a dimwitted puma who is one of Daffy Duck's friends and does various jobs around town.
Marvin the Martian (voiced by Eric Bauza) is a Martian who is one of Daffy Duck's friends.

Witch Lezah (voiced by Roz Ryan) is a witch who is Gossamer's mother and lives next door to Bugs Bunny. She is often annoyed by Daffy Duck's antics. Witch Lezah is also a hypnotherapist by trade. The character is based on Witch Hazel, with "Lezah" being "Hazel" spelled backwards. Promotional artwork by Jamie Nicholes featured Lezah and Hazel together, with the latter being planned to also appear in the series.[6]

Gossamer (voiced by Kwesi Boakye) is a large orange furry monster who is Witch Lezah's son. In stark contrast to previous characterizations, Gossamer is portrayed as a timid and kind-hearted young boy with a voice to match.

Emma "Granny" Webster (voiced by June Foray at her
regular age, Stephanie Courtney as a young adult) is a practical and old fashioned 90-year-old lady who is one of Bugs Bunny's neighbors. Granny is revealed to have been a spy for the Allies in World War II. In "The Grand Old Duck of York", it is revealed that Granny also teaches piano lessons. This series marks the final time Foray provided the voice of Granny before her death in 2017.

Sylvester and Tweety (voiced by Jeff Bergman) are Granny's pets. Sylvester is a tuxedo cat who is always trying to devour Tweety, but always fails, either due to Tweety outwitting him or Granny catching him and spanking him hard enough to spit Tweety out. Tweety is a cute yellow canary who is frequently targeted by Sylvester. Tweety is revealed to have also been a spy for the Allies in World War II during Granny's youth.

Foghorn Leghorn (voiced by Jeff Bergman) is a rich and gullible rooster who has worked under various jobs. Foghorn and Daffy get on very well, and are often involved in various schemes. He is a successful entrepreneur who never gets angry with Daffy and forgives him immediately, as he considers Daffy a son to him.

Pep Le Pew (voiced by Ren Auberjonois in Season 1, Jeff Bergman in Season 2) is a French striped skunk. He's the local casanova. In the episode "Members Only", he works as a wedding planner when he planned Bugs and Lola's wedding at the country club.

Elmer Fudd (voiced by Billy West) who works as the resident TV news anchor and also hosts his own talk show, "Tit for Tat".

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner (Road Runner is voiced by Paul Julian via archive recordings, Wile E. is mute) are shown in short computer-animated segments in Season 1. They also make cameos throughout the show, most notably in "Here Comes the Pig", when Bugs gets lost in the desert, he witnesses the Road Runner and Wile E.'s chases, then asks Wile E. for directions to the highway once he fails. Bugs then decides to use Wile E.'s catapult to get back.

My three nephews all love Looney Toons, Popeye, and Tom & Jerry. When I was last there, they were all about the 80s TMNT...which was awesome to me
