There have been numerous attempts to revive LT with theatrical shorts but, have failed. The last attempt by Larry Doyle seems to have failed and they have recieved mixed results from fans. But, let's say WB decided to make a T.V. series for LT. The show would not be about one character, like Duck Dodgers or Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries but, rather the whole ensemble. Now, if you were at the helm of this new show, how would you execute it? What network would it air on: CN, Kids WB, or maybe primetime?
If I was in charge, the episode would be two 11 minute segments. I would try to hire writers and storyboarders who know the LT characters well. The animation probably would be either done at Rough Draft, LOTTO, and maybe some Japanese studios like TMS or maybe GAINAX. I wouldn't put it on Kids WB since they would screw it up, but maybe CN or primetime WB.

I would watch it. I watch Looney Tunes every week, so I would like it. I havn't seen the newest ones, but I am looking forward to them. I think 11-minute-segments would be good. Now, dont have all the charceters in both of them, but have differnt charecters in every episode. I dont know if it would work, having chareceters that have never crossed over before, but it would be cool.
No way in hell should it go to WB!!!! They dont even have animated shows anymore, and it would get, well NO VIEWERS!!!!! They dont even have the frog anymore, they just have him for about a second in the commercials at the end of 'em. Kids WB! would ruin 'em, yeah.....thats true. So, CN is the best spot. But I dont see a good timeslot for it, so it would probably be in the 6:30 AM spot, but might give it a better spoy since they're new. I'd love to see it.:D

I would do the same thing, but I would also have good direction. I always wanted to see how Gennedy Tartakofsky,Seth McFarland or Maxwell Atoms direct and storyboard an LT episode. Still, I would like to see LT be revived through the theatrical shorts. I know alot of people didn't like the Larry Doyle shorts, but after seeing "Wizzard of Ow" I didn't think it was THAT bad. It was different take on the Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner shorts. I also liked some of the writers(Jon Vitti, Doug Lawrence, Ron Hauge) and directors(Bret Haaland was good on Futurama) on the team.
Edit: As for the network, I would say CN. They would probably it on Fridays at 7 or 7:30 p.m. and treat it well. WB primetime wouldn't be good. While it would reach more viewers than CN, it would be put in a bad timeslot and shuffled around before it's cancelled.

So basically a show like Disney's Mickey's Mouse Works.
