So seeing as the show's been around for a while, I thought this poll would be appropriate.
Personally, I love the show, I love everything about it. Great stories, great art style, and I really like how they've managed to bring the characters into modern times without changing them too much (barring some voice changes, and the obvious personality change in Lola from Space Jam to the show). The only thing I don't like is the younger Gossamer, as I can't hear him without picturing Darwin from Gumball - which makes sense, but still.
So, what's your opinion on the show? I think that Cartoon Network would have a hit on their hands in any decade with this show, but being in this era - it's just the cherry on top with how good CN has been lately.

Probably my favorite CN show outside of Adventure Time. I know Kristen Wiig is polarizing, but she managed to turn Lola from a generic girl power character into someone that fits with the original cast.
Also, Bugs isn't invincible in this show. His personality is more or less unchanged from the original shorts, but the domestic setting allows him to actually go through conflicts and occasionally screw things up, rather than him just no-selling every situation the way he did from 1950 to 2010. The episode where his lie ballooned into him getting sent to an Albanian prision was genius.

Can't stand it personally. I hate the art style, the voice work is meh, and I don't like the style of the show in general.

Half hour long - hell, any amount of time long - Bugs Bunny adventures without the names Jones, Freleng and/or Blanc on them are pointless.

It's very different from the old Looney Tunes shorts and I suspect that's where a lot of dislike comes from But on its own, it's a surprisingly well-written show. Can't hold a candle to the old school slapstick comedy, but it's really good on its own merits.

It reminds me of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorperated in how it successfully modernises an old show concept by taking risks that, if you pitched them to me years ago, I would have wondered what the hell you're doing with it.
And somehow, it works really well yet keeps what made the Looney Tunes great in the first place at the core.
Also, the Road Runner shorts are friggin' fantastic.

I voted Meh. There are some cool things about it, like Lola as a ditzy psycho and Witch Hazel as a single black mom.
But the Merrie Melodies segments are atrocious, and they turned Daffy Duck of all people into a generic sitcom wacky guy.

I hate what they did to Lola. I like Daffys whole family thing he has going on.

I think they've kept him mainly the same, he's an insensitive douchebag like he used to be.

I love what they did with it. IT's not like Loony Tunes was ever going to return to what it was, they somehow made it all wok despite the completely oddball premise.
That said, the Roadrunner segments are bad. But I was never a big fan of the original as a kid either .

This is going to get me some bashing but I like it more than the original cartoons, I just can't stand old Bugs Bunny so seeing him as the straight man who gets in problems against his will is refreshing.
