MacFarlane is probably at the point of his career where nobody ever says no to him.

I can't imagine it being any worse than The Cleveland Show

 

[Mizzougrad96]

How dirty do you think he'll make it?

 

[Mystery Meat II]

Possibly not much at all. He's already got two shows that push the boundaries, plus making an R-rated Flintstones would a) further his image as a one-trick pony and b) **** off a lot of devoted Flintstones fans who might be assuming the worst. Doing a Stone Age Family Guy would be death on all counts.

I saw an episode of that recently. It's not bad, but seeing Bugs living in a house (much less having Daffy as a mooching boarder) is pretty jarring. Bugs can have a mansion for all I care, but the only thing that should be visible from street level is a hole. That's as it should be.

Of course, I keep hoping against hope they'll have Daffy Duck be daffy again, as he was in the shorts with Porky Pig, and not just Jerkbag Duck as he's been for the last few decades.

Which is sad, because he desperately needs someone to do just that a lot more often.

I've seen the promos for this. Is there any return of cartoon violence? The promos I saw seems that it just fits right in with the pop culture-beholden snark fests cartoons have been for the last 20 years or so.

As for McFarlane, stick to what you know. Family Guy is starting to slip. American Dad is and always has been ****ing horrid, to say nothing of totally derivative of Family Guy.

I've not see The Looney Tunes Show, but a friend said it was like Bugs turned into Seinfeld and Daffy into Costanza.

I've only seen part of one episode, but that sounds right. I think the days of wacky cartoon violence is gone, with only ironic Family Guy-style violence standing among comedy cartoons.

Compared to American Dad, the Cleveland Show is Emmy-worthy . . . and it's horrid, beyond belief.

The show is horrible. I cringed during the Marvin the Martian music bit in the second episode. The only joke I really laughed at was in the first when Daffy said Bugs' last name was Buenavena (sic).

I can't wait until the banned Looney Tunes DVD is released. While I'm at it, I wish Disney showed original cartoons, but I have to shell out for the DVDs, I guess.

For one glorious hour every morning, the Cartoon Network shows original Looney Tunes shorts. 11-noon CST.
