I've stumbled upon these videos recently. Sadly only two are made so far, but it's planned to be an eight episode series covering the entire Looney Tunes history. Done in a similar style to that of Defunctland.
Part one: Early beginnings to Bosko
Part two: Buddy to Porky and Daffy

I have to check these out. I've recently started marathoning the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD set from Netflix (sadly they don't have volumes 4 and 5 available right now). Volume 1 had a great Toon Heads documentary about "lost" Looney Tunes and related cartoons. Really interesting stuff with some really fun obscure material in it.

Cool. Will definitely check out. Though I’m mainly a fan of the Chuck Jones era. Can’t stand anything 90’sish onward. For instance, I think Space Jam is horrible.

Chuck Jones is not God and he created the(imo) worst version of Daffy. He also hated Tiny Toons if I remember correctly.
I'd put Bob Clampett and Tex Avery over him.

Thanks for the links. I always wondered what was the origin of the bad blood between Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett. The second video explains it. Damn, Chuck was a beautiful artist, but he could hold a grudge.

Three parts are left, looks like it'll be
The Early TV Era (similar to what PopArena brought up with Nick Knacks) The Warner Seven-Arts Era and Death of Looney Tunes The post-classic era.

This reminds me that I got to get my hands on some physical copies of these cartoons.

Part 6: The Decline of WB Animation.
If you saw the Nick Knacks on Looney Tunes, this one goes a lot into the same stuff, given the era. Also brings up the end of Chuck Jones' run.
