How popular was this show when it was on? I ask this because I remember it coming out around the same time as Adventure Time and Regular Show and Gumball, which I know were all major successes

I don't know about it's overall popularity, but I was a kid when it was coming out and I loved it.
It wasn't as popular as those examples but it was okay. Few good discussions here and there, but overall pretty average engagement
I know one thing for certain, it was absolutely hated by classic looney tunes fans.
Me, I loved it as a kid.
I can understand not loking it but morons putting it on the same level as Baby Looney Tunes and Loonatics Unleashed are just delusional
It got a lot of flak well before it premiered. The colored outlines turned off a lot of potential fans (me included) before we saw any actual content. If you ignored that, the discussion was similar to what you see about it today:
>the ladies are hot
>the shorts are the weakest part
>the reuse of musical segments in multiple episodes means they wear out their welcome
>"Seinfeld but with Looney Tunes" isn't all that bad, actually
Beyond artistic considerations, response here was lukewarm but increasingly positive over the course of the series. Kids didn't seem to acknowledge it at all.
I don't understand the hate over the artistic decisions. The first season looked really fricking nice and worked as a good modernization of the characters.
All the autistic screeching over the art style is funny in hindsight because the next iteration, Wabbit/New Looney Tunes was everything they claimed TLTS' art was.
Wabbits art style was so autistically horrendous that it makes me wish everybody who gave TLTS' artstyle shit would issue a formal apology. Only good thing about Wabbits style was it's Lola design, which even then its kinda lacking compared to previous iterations
I still don't understand these gripes with the art style. Season 2 looked sterile as hell, and colored outlines are fine
>The colored outlines turned off a lot of potential fans
Autism is so funny.
ngl purple bugs bunny grew on me
So its was kinda like Teen Titans and Batman The Brave and the Bold in some aspects?
I remember it had a lot of threads on here but I personally could never get into it, also shame about the art style change for S2, I always liked Borutski's style
I was asking about how popular it was with kids. I noticed this show has gotten a lot of praise in recent years and I wonder if it's from those who grew up with it as kids
I liked it when it was on, nowhere as good as the actual Looney Tunes but it was an interesting concept. But it got cancelled pretty quickly and I entirely forgot about it after that. Never knew anyone else who watched this show, let alone discussed it
Didn't it have 52 episodes though? That's about as much as Courage did and people say that show was one of the biggest CN shows when it was on
Courage I believe was ended prematurely, from what I looked up it mainly had to do with the network wanting to transition from cels to digital which would've been cheaper and Dilworth thinking it would ruin the aesthetic of the show. I'm shocked Looney Tunes got a full 52 episodes, I assumed it had ended after one season, 2nd must've been in some sort of graveyard slot
From what I recall, Cartoon Network treated Looney Tunes Show kind of poorly during the second season. They didn't even air the final episode for a long time
Must've just kept it going just as timeslot filler, it ended around the same time TTG came out
> it mainly had to do with the network wanting to transition from cels to digital which would've been cheaper and Dilworth thinking it would ruin the aesthetic of the show.
Courage was always animated digitally.
Pretty sure what
said. It doesnt even look cel animated
Modern seasons have only 10 episodes, streaming ruined everything
Why do people act like this show wasn't that big when it had just as many episodes as Courage, which people often call one of CNs biggest original series from the late 90s and early 2000s?
After the announcement of the series, the reception was skeptical. People thought that placing the Looney Tunes cast into a sitcom setting sounded weird and it was bound to be a total trainwreck. Other common complaints were the art style and some of its quirks, such as the purple hue on Bugs. And coomers thought that Lola wasn't sexy enough.
I was googling for the first promotional picture they released; pic related. I'm posting the source where I got it from too, since this page showcases a typical example of how people reacted to the show's art style back then:

In the long run, the series did manage to win people over. It obtained a fandom. Not a huge fandom like Adventure Time or the other series you mentioned, but it generated an okay amount of discussion. I don't really remember seeing a lot of fan art, though. Mostly just discussion threads.
As for the show's actual target audience, I was too old to hear about how children were receiving the show back then.
What I want to know is how fujo was the fandom when it first aired compared to now?
Was there heavy cooming over femboy Bugs, shipping Bugs and Daffy as the cranky gay couple, posting about Speedy being attracted to femboys and so on?
Most of the Daffy/Bugs shippers are Japanese
It wasn't popular, it had a bunch of people saying "not muh" before it got cult classic status when fifteen years later, WB proved it could do much worse with the LT than make it animated seinfeld

Ratings-wise, it was as popular as Gumball and even surpassed it at times. Both debuted the same day.

It was as popular
It just didn't have the obnoxious vocal fanbase of Adventure Time
