This show puts on a decent first impression. It's the Looney Tunes back at their roots with slapstick shorts. Depending on the episode, there are some actually funny jokes amidst the many cringeworthy attempts at being funny. After watching more than a couple of the sketches, it becomes obvious where this show falls flat. Most of the show is centred around Bugs Bunny and a new addition to the Looney Tunes cast: some lame non-anthropomorphic squirrel. This squirrel is the only Looney Tune that doesn't talk or do anything particularly interesting. Not only does it lack interesting personality, but it lacks any personality at all. It's a generic cartoon squirrel that doesn't add anything to the series. The worst part of the show is how repetitive it is. The writers seem to have found a formula they're happy with. Despite this formula not being particularly funny or interesting, the writers use it as a template for every single sketch. Here's how literally every sketch I've seen went: -Bugs bunny enjoying a peaceful day -Some character (sometimes another looney tune, sometimes a new one) disrupts Bugs' peace -Bugs essentially gets into a fight with them and they both mess with each other until -Either they put their differences aside, or Bugs annoys them until they leave. That's it. That's the whole show.

i have only seen a few episodes of this show, but, for the most part, it was good, it wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but a pleasant surprise to find effort in a reboot. the writing goes back to old and classic looney tunes, and emulates it very well. the jokes, while not making me burst into laughter, did make me smile and appreciate what went in to what could have just been a lazy cash grab, the animation, while not amazing, does a pretty decent job, although the character designs could have been better. the setups, formulas, and plots are just what you expect. and while i understand other reviewers opinions, i would just like to point out that this show could have been much, MUCH worse, and that while i don't really like it, i do appreciate it.

After the really innovative and very funny The Looney Tunes Show, the Wabbit feels, in both art and writing, like a step back to the nostalgic old Looney Tunes shorts. The show has short, 11-minute long episodes, composed of two 5 minute-long shorts. Bugs is back to living in a rabbit hole, often sharing his home with his friend, the oddly not-speaking Squeaks the Squirrel. In appearance, most of the characters got redesigned - frankly, not for the better. They try to harken back to the old Chuck Jones era, but in effect, look more like the 1990's Chuck Jones era of Tom and Jerry, not as Looney Tunes. Plot-wise, pretty much all the shorts have the same setup - random antagonists is being an annoyance to Bugs, usually without a rhyme or reason, and generally being a major troll. Bugs suffers a bit, then he retaliates using his patented tools like disguises, dynamite, and generally fooling his usually not terribly bright opponents to do harm to themselves - The End.Therein lies the problem - this is the plot of pretty much 90% of the episodes (save for a few special ones like where Bugs has to share his home with an oddly childish-Gossamer-like Bigfoot). Rinse and repeat, and it gets very, very old after the third episode already. Another problem is the nature of the antagonists. While Yosemite Sam (who oddly gained weight) and Wile E. Coyote (now Bugs' snotty know-it-all neighbour) are recurring foes, most of the time the enemies are one-shot and not really interesting characters with very little character development. Often, they feel rather out of place too from the show which is set in the modern world, like oddly cylinder-shaped tiny ninjas, a fox version of Marvel's Black Widow, a polar bear-riding barbarian, or even the Death of Rabbits himself, who has fallen a long way from his truly terrifying appearance in Watership Down. It is odd because even after 13 episodes, there is not sign of other famous Looney Tunes characters - Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, and especially Daffy Duck or Porky Pig. Perhaps they are getting their own shows, but I find that unlikely.Maybe it's just me, but in this day and age... I find the slapstick is no longer enough to entertain. The Wabbit does not fall into trap of Tom and Jerry, where you eventually start to sympathize with poor Tom when Jerry torments him without provocation, Itchy and Scrathy style - here the villains all get what's coming to them - but that doesn't make the experience feel less empty. I am not saying every funny cartoon needs to be Monty Python levels cerebral, but after a truly unique show like the Looney Tunes Show, I cannot say I find this sort of humour a step back, and at best, just average.

I didn't like "The Looney Tunes Show". This show is much better. Bugs Bunny easily outsmarts everyone he meets. Lots of fun gags and a good amount of zaniness. I especially like when Bugs is against Yosemite Sam. The drawing style is not bad once you get used to it. The voice acting is great. The foes Bugs meet are interesting characters. I recommend this to people who also enjoyed "Taz-Mania", "Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" and "Duck Dodgers". I feel this is the best television version of Bugs Bunny.In short, this is what I was expecting when "The Looney Tunes Show" was announced. I also consider this much better than Disney's new Mickey Mouse shorts.
