The Looney Tunes Show is an American animated television series produced by Warner Bros Animation. It is based on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of the theatrical shorts that ran from 1930 to 1969. It ran from 2011 to 2014, spanning 52 episodes across two seasons.
Presented as a 21st century sitcom, it centers on Bugs Bunny as he lives in a suburban home alongside his roommate Daffy Duck, their neighbors Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Lola Bunny, and an extended cast of others. The episodes generally focus on Bugs and the cast dealing with ordinary issues along the way, some of which are caused by Daffy's rather bad lifestyle.
The series would also bring back Merrie Melodies as well as air Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote shorts in between episode but the latter was fizzled out in season two.
The series would be followed by a loose sequel direct to video film titled Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run in 2015.
Production
Development
The series began life as Laff Riot, an unaired pilot made in 2009, which would be the last time Joe Alaskey would voice Daffy Duck before passing away in 2016. He would be replaced by Jeff Bergman in the actual series.
Music
The theme song is "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", which was carried over from the theatrical shorts and rearranged by Andy Sturmer. The score was composed by Strumer.
