"Baby Looney Tunes": It has begun.....

[StrangerAtaru]

Well I did not know if I wanted to hold off on this or not, but I guess I might as well get this over with. Due to my internal clock waking me up before my alarm (which I specifically set to 8:15, enough time to get ready for the new Scooby show), I ended up being one of the first, er, victims to witness the thing called "Baby Looney Tunes". Actually, I tried not to watch it, but considering I was bored and 15 minutes remained until my Saturday Morning would begin, I turned on the TV to see what it was like. Basically, for some stupid reason or another, Bugs was made in charge of the playgroup by Granny just because "he is older", even though Daffy, who was there as well (along with Tweety, Sylvester, Lola, and Taz) is older animationwise. Then there was this whole thing about Bugs not being a good enough leader or some stuff like that, until some "noise" was heard to make them think it was a monster around. This, tied in with Taz dissapearing (hint, hint) made the kids, in their diapers (well OK, neither Tweety nor Taz had them, but the others did) to go outside in the dark in the woods to find what the monster was. Then there was some moral stuff and the kids finding out the "monster" was just Taz tooting this little horn Bugs had given them earlier. (well at least they kept Taz's obsession with music, which means they did not throw away all continuity) Then Granny shows up, and there is a happy ending, yatta, yatta, yatta.

I know this show is supposed to be for little kids, but I doubt any of them would want to watch it either. Why would you watch baby versions of the Looney Tunes characters (who at least some of them sound like Tiny Toons) wandering around learning life's lessons when you could watch the insane, more imaginative original cartoons which have no morals whatsoever? (OK, not all the classics are as classics as many want them to be, but that is another discussion) And the site of seeing them all in diapers doing on this will not make me give up my "Muppet Babies" anyday.

BTW: The only real baby of the group I actually like is Taz, but only because he is a cute little devil, still with his somewhat primative personallity there and one of the only ones not wearing diapers.

--but I was up at half-past six in the morning yesterday and turned on the WPIX channel. Now I get a bad reception on that particular one much of the time, but on the infrequent occassions it actually comes in well, I will watch it.
The reception was its usual poor quality, and the cutesy-poo theme song made me nauseous, so I gave up on it then and there and returned to bed. I ask you, was I too hasty and judgemental?
We've seen MUPPET BABIES, TOM AND JERRY KIDS, FLINTSTONE KIDS...there was even a parody of the baby 'toon craze on TAZMANIA with an infant Taz, and now, look, here he is as a star. I suppose with this old fad's resurrection, and America's new fondness for the prequel, next year we can look forward to a new incarnation of the popular Lemmon/Matthau vehicle called "Grumpy Little Boys". :rolleyes:
