Brilliant satire and wonderful romp in cartoonland

If you are a fan of Warner Brother cartoons, such as Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Yosemite, Foghorn, and many others, then you will love this series. I couldn't disagree more with the moron who posted the review that slammed this series. My son and I religiously watched each episode as they premiered week to week on Cartoon Network. We couldn't wait to see the next one. We laughed so hard we fell off the couch. The one that mocked "Iron Giant" was one of our favorites (I go... you stay... no following). Not since "Samurai Jack" has a writing team given us so much to laugh about in one series. When it suddenly came to a halt, we stopped watching Cartoon Network. The more recent shows don't even come close to the level of this wonderful series. I feel sorry for the cynical reviewer who sounded so high and mighty about animation. This isn't animation. These are cartoons. They make you laugh. We love Bugs Bunny. We love Elmer Fudd. We especially love Daffy Duck. May you long live to make us laugh because.... you're despicable! (spoken with a lisp)
