The writing within the main episodes can be very clever, placing the cast in situations such as going to the DMV or dealing with telemarketers, concepts that on paper are quite normal, though when placed in the hands of the Looney Tunes are taken to their absolute extreme, yielding satisfyingly goofy results. Not every episode can be a big hitter, and neither can every creative decision be a good call, such as making the Tasmanian Devil a house pet akin to a dog, a choice that didn't seem to be fleshed out enough in a comedic sense. It's a forgivable set of miscues, though, given the enjoyment brought on from when the show is at its strongest, creatively and comically.

Lasting from 2011 to 2013, The Looney Tunes Show garnered two seasons with a total of 52 episodes. Remaining well-liked by critics, the initial torn audience reaction has seemed to have calmed down, with many looking back on the show with reverence for trying something different, a concept that becomes easier to absorb as more time passes. The fact that the series was followed by more traditionally styled shorts and cartoons only helps exemplify what made this bizarrely contemporary take stand out in the best ways.
