Reviews for "Toons These Days: Ep 14"
It could have been worse
I couldn't agree more. I watched one episode and I was done. It was made probably to appeal to the kids who are to young to remember the classic looney tunes before they were banned from tv for being too violent or some shit.
Okay, so maybe they wanted to go with the loony tunes living a suburban life. Well they could have still found a way to work in the classic antics. I should hope if you're a writer working for CN, you are at least good enough to do that.
if only parents stopped caring about what there kids saw on tv then we would have good cartoon shows :/
I am appalled that Warner is still milking loony toons.
Honestly, they have over 60 years of Cartoon content. Damn Good Content at that. Kids who where born in the 21'st century havent seen all of it. Why cant they just stick to what they have without adulterating it. Its smarter, funnier, kids parents can watch it with the kids, and free, since they dont have to spend money making a new series. Whats the need to update anyway? Sure a good portion of the old stuff has dated coldwar references, but kids don't know its dated. Hell, kids dont get most of the references in loony toons at all, that's what makes them great. you watch them when your little and their funny because their silly, a couple years later you see a rerun of the same episode and you pick up a few hidden messages, go back as an adults and what the hell, that's dirty.
I don't know whos idea it was to make a the loony toons play in a bunch of sterile, stale sitcom plots, but they should be shot in the head.
If they want to make a new show, what is so hard about just inventing new characters, tailored for the show? It opens up more plot possibilities, makes for a more intriguing story, and makes the program all around better. I can see spinoffs looking like extra dollars to some people, but there's a point where your just shooting yourself in the foot.
