The Looney Tunes Show is an American animated television series produced by Warner Bros Animation. It is the twelfth Looney Tunes series based on the theatrical shorts that ran from 1930 to 1969 in the golden age of animation. It ran from 2011 to 2014, spanning 52 episodes across two seasons.
Looney Tunes is modernized for a new audience as Bugs Bunny now lives in a suburban home alongside his roommate Daffy Duck and their neighbors Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Lola Bunny, and many more.
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 the loose sequel direct to video film 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 "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" was carried over from the theatrical shorts, originally composed by Carl Stalling and rearranged by Andy Sturmer.
