Popularized through slapstick-laden shorts, this new Cartoon Network series (synergistically provided by Warner Bros. Animation) reconstructs the characters into a half-hour sitcom, with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as mismatched buddies, and other players popping in along the way.
It seems to be getting quite a reaction: Some people love what they've done with the sit-com idea while others heavily dislike it.
I am also very curious about Speedy Gonzales, as I've read they pushed even deeper the classic Mexican stereotype, as well as having a deeper voice.
I admit something sounds weird, if they are true. Like Marvin being a exchange student (from Mars) that coincided with Duffy.
Myself I like shows where wit is given and not just blatant hit and run humour, it sounds like they make a plot more than just a quick excuse for setting the battle field, try to bring some warm moments and make people connect more... yet we're talking about the Looney tunes (Crazy-cartoons). Embedded for generations as the quick paced crazy humour cartoons spinning in different conflicts generally between two characters. This change sounds a bit too drastic and I can understand that expecting the Looney-tunes back is expecting that and this sound such a drastic change that ticks off more than one, specially when we include the fact personalities get adjusted to fill their new roles. (just ask Speedy Gonzales).
Anyway I brought the info in order to get opinions, I did the research so we have an idea what to talk about. So I really hope to read more replies about it.
If you haven't see it, are you looking forward to it?

Okay, the new episode is slightly better, but just slightly.
