15 Best New TV Shows Of 2020 (So Far)
12. Looney Tunes Cartoons
For a TV producer, there may be few prospects more daunting than attempting to overhaul and reboot a brand as beloved as the original Looney Tunes cast of cartoon characters.
Yes, everyone's aware network executives are infamously over-confident. That's how you end up with Space Force. But anyone would know better than to screw with the collective cultural memory of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd via an ill-considered update.
Luckily, the head honchos at HBO decided simplicity was the order of the day with the recent Looney Tunes Cartoons, a HBOMax exclusive series of shorts which revives Bugs and co.
A rare reboot which does justice to the original madcap shorts, the likes of the show's pilot "The Curse of the Monkeybird" sees Daffy and Porky in a classic adventure movie milieu which offers up opportunities for all manner of Tex Avery-style sight gags.
