So they're just gonna retool Wabbit into a full Looney Tunes revamp, huh?
I've heard worse ideas.
Edit: On topic though, if nothing else, this Wacky Races will be better than the Wacky Raceland comic. That isn't even debatable.

Most of the old school cartoons & Warner Bros. media have been phased out for repeats of Cartoon Network shows on right now. And, they also moved stuff like Sonic Boom to Boomerang to get people to watch because apparently not enough people were watching it at 6AM on Saturday morning on CN. Its a bizarre tactic, but nothing too surprising, although it was designed for baby boomers. |

Its a bizarre tactic, but nothing too surprising, although it was designed for baby boomers. Sadly, it's what a lot of stations that are niche stations have been doing for years. At a certain point, a lot of these channels end up trying to appeal to a mass market, so what makes them special is stripped away and replaced with garbage (IFC being the extreme example of that). My friend said that there's rumors that El Rey is going to transition to a more traditional channel, which would really suck, as that's one of the few channels I regularly love for their movie selection and the fact that stuff is aired unedited later in the day. |

It's truly awful and one of the worst comics I've ever read and that is saying something. |

Once upon a time, Boomerang was my favorite channel. I dropped the channel about a month ago and have no regrets. They did a hell of a job ruining it.
