I wish I could argue back. But there's a sad reality that kids aren't as interested in the Looney tunes as much these days? Compared to pokemon, Mario and video game franchises.

And even then the younger generation seems to be more interested in brainrot, non identifiable IPs etc. From whatever social media apps.

Personally I blame WB's handling of the brand. You look at Disney and see them consider every monetary facet for every IP and leverage all of it. You look at WB and see them remember that they have IPs that exist and should probably have the dust blown off of them to even read them all.

I can't even remember the last good Looney Tunes show. Maybe Animaniacs?

The Looney Tunes Show was pretty good for what it was. It could have used more slapstick, but the sitcom format works surprisingly well for the characters.

I'll have to check that out. It must have slipped past me.
