Line #21 Trivia/TheLooneyTunesShow


1	* ActingForTwo: Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn are voiced by Creator/JeffBergman.
2	* ActorAllusion:
3	** Pepe is voiced by Creator/ReneAuberjonois, who also voiced Eric's singing French chef, Louis in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}''.
4	** Gossamer shares his voice actor with [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball another orange character who wears only shoes]].
5	* AdoredByTheNetwork: The show had lots of advertising, a generous dose of reruns, even when only a handful of episodes of the show actually aired, and quite a few marathons, especially with the original ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, during its run. By mid-2013, however, it could only be seen at 6:30 in the morning on weekends.
6	** As of 2023, Cartoon Network is airing reruns of this show again, every single day.
7	* CastTheRunnerUp: At [[https://youtu.be/pp-qkQ8d0kM 3:30]] in this cartoon, Creator/EricBauza mentioned how he originally auditioned for WesternAnimation/BugsBunny before he was cast as Marvin the Martian.[[note]]Fast forward to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons'', when he ''is'' given the role of Bugs Bunny.[[/note]]
8	* CelebrityVoiceActor: Creator/KristenWiig has a regular role as the voice of Lola Bunny.
9	* CutSong: The Season Two soundtrack includes two "Merrie Melodies" songs not used on the show - "Sit Down" by Pete Puma and "Season of the Turtle" by Cecil.
10	* DevelopmentHell: This show tried to get off the ground for a few years, and when we finally had a premier date, it ended up getting pushed back about 3 times. The show's concept was overhauled at least once, with the episode "Casa De Calma" being the only remnant of that.
11	* EarlyDraftTieIn: Some merchandise used Tina and Petunia's early designs.
12	* NonSingingVoice:
13	** Marvin the Martian's speaking voice is Eric Bauza, but his singing voice is Damon Jones.
14	** WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn's speaking voice is Creator/JeffBergman, but his singing voice is also Damon Jones, which is weird because Jeff Bergman does his own singing for Bugs and Daffy.
15	** Speedy Gonzales is voiced by Fred Armisen, but in "Queso Bandito," his singing voice is, once again, Damon Jones. Strangely enough, in Speedy's next two Merrie Melodies ("Pizzarriba" and "Table For One"), his singing voice is- guess who- Fred Armisen. Possibly because "Queso Bandito" portrays Speedy at a younger age. And to be fair, Jones does make Speedy sound higher pitched than usual.
16	** Henery Hawk's singing voice is, last time now, Damon Jones. (but only on "Chickenhawk") His speaking voice ("Father Figures") and singing voice ("Christmas Rules") in later episodes are by Ben Falcone.
17	* TheOriginalDarrin: After Mel Blanc's death, Creator/JeffBergman inherited many of the Looney Tunes roles only to be replaced by Joe Alaskey, Greg Burson and Billy West. While some of Bergman's characters were recast with other actors, he at least returned to voicing Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety, and Foghorn Leghorn.
18	* TheOtherDarrin:
19	** Creator/StanFreberg was going to reprise the role of Pete Puma, but was quickly replaced with John Kassir. The voice difference is highly noticeable compared to Freberg's Pete Puma voice. ''Rabbits Run'' has him voiced by Jess Harnell.
20	** Tina Russo was voiced by Creator/JenniferEsposito in Season 1, and by Annie Mumolo in Season 2.
21	** Pepe Le Pew was voiced by Creator/ReneAuberjonois in Season 1 and Jeff Bergman in Season 2.
22	** Lola's mother, Patricia, was voiced by Grey [=DeLisle=] in Season 1 and Creator/WendiMcLendonCovey in Season 2.
23	** For the 2015 movie ''Rabbits Run'', WesternAnimation/LolaBunny is voiced by Rachel Ramras instead of Creator/KristenWiig.
24	* TheOtherMarty:
25	** Originally, Grey [=DeLisle=] was billed to voice Petunia Pig before being replaced by Creator/KatyMixon.
26	** Voice actor Bob Bergen, during a guest spot on ''Radio/StusShow'' revealed that Joe Alaskey was originally cast as Bugs and Daffy, and recorded their lines for the "Casa De Calma" pilot. When the show started going through a ReTool, Alaskey was asked by executives to re-audition for the parts, something that didn't make any sense to Alaskey (especially since he had already been voicing the characters for several years). This lead to a falling out between Alaskey and Warner Bros., with Creator/JeffBergman getting cast instead, and Alaskey rarely voiced any of the Looney Tunes characters again before his unfortunate passing in 2016.
27	* OutOfOrder: "The Foghorn Leghorn Story" aired before "Working Duck", but is clearly set after its events. "Working Duck" shows Daffy's first meeting with Foghorn, and in "Story", Foghorn's secretary Carol [[ContinuityNod directly mentions]] the time when Daffy bankrupted Enormocorp.
28	* RoleReprise:
29	** The most obvious is Creator/JeffBergman, who reprises his role of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', plus ''Box Office Bunny'', ''WesternAnimation/InvasionOfTheBunnySnatchers'', ''WesternAnimation/BlooperBunny'' and even ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue''.
30	** Creator/JuneForay, the eldest of the actors and actresses, reprises her role as Granny, but she was unable to reprise her role as Witch Hazel, now Lezah.
31	** With the exception of Daffy and Marvin, the voice actors for nearly every male Looney Tunes character who appeared in ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' (which shares a lot of its creative team with this show) reprise their roles. Most notable are Bob Bergen as Porky, Maurice [=LaMarche=] as Yosemite Sam, Jim Cummings as Taz, Billy West as Elmer Fudd, and Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell as the Goofy Gophers.
32	* ShortRunInPeru: The final episode premiered in the U.S. a year after the rest of Season 2, long after it had premiered in so many countries.
33	* SimilarlyNamedWorks: Cartoon Network had an installment show that was named ''The Looney Tunes Show'' that ran from 2000 to 2004. Unlike this show, the first ''Looney Tunes Show'' was just a collection of classic ''Looney Tunes'' shorts from the Creator/WarnerBros library (in a similar vein to ''[[WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow The Bugs Bunny Show]]'' and its various alternative titles, ''Looney Tunes on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'', ''That's Warner Bros.'', ''Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny and Friends'', and others) and was a retool of ''The Bugs and Daffy Show'' that coincided with CN becoming the exclusive network to air ''Looney Tunes'' shorts. When the original ''Looney Tunes'' shorts returned in March to build up hype for ''The Looney Tunes Show'', Cartoon Network actually returned the bumpers from the old ''Looney Tunes Show''.
34	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
35	** Paul Dini was originally on-board years ago, but most of the writers [[ExecutiveMeddling were fired in development from the execs wanting fresher, younger ones]], and he left to produce the live-action series ''Series/TowerPrep''. Funnily enough, ''Tower Prep'' used to air on Tuesday nights at 8 PM, only for the ratings to drop and subsequent cancellation. ''The Looney Tunes Show'' premiered ''in the same timeslot'' '''on the same night''' [[http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/05/04/tuesday-cable-ratings-nba-playoffs-deadliest-catch-top-night-plus-16-and-pregnant-sports-show-with-norm-macdonald-more/91618 and got spectacular ratings]].
36	** Originally, ''The Looney Tunes Show'' was supposed to be called ''Laff Riot'' and it was supposed to be a ThreeShorts type of show in the style of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', which were in turn closer to the style of the [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes original shorts]] themselves. Creator/MattDanner [[https://mobile.twitter.com/MattyDanner/status/1264376863029248002 was in charge]] of development for Laff Riot before he was replaced by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone.
37	*** The pitch also shows characters such as Toro the Bull from the short "Bully for Bugs" was planned to appear in the show and Porky was the owner of Sylvester instead of Granny like in the final show.
38	*** ''Casa De Calma'' was actually a completed pilot for ''Laff Riot'', which explains that episode's noticeably different comedy style from that of the other ''The Looney Tunes Show'' episodes.
39	*** A screening of ''Casa de Calma'' did not impress the higher ups who viewed it, as they disliked the UPA-esque style the episode had. [[ExecutiveMeddling As a result, most of the original artists were laid off and the show was]] [[ReTool retooled]] [[ExecutiveMeddling into the sitcom format it is now.]]
40	*** Creator/JoeAlaskey was going to reprise his roles as Bugs and Daffy but was replaced by Creator/JeffBergman.
41	** [[http://bigbearken.blogspot.com/2011/06/looney-tunes.html Some unused storyboards]] and the pitch as well show Petunia was originally supposed to appear much earlier.
42	** Other characters were planned for the scrapped season 3 such as Sniffles, Hubie and Bertie, Owl Jolson, Charlie Dog, Sam Sheepdog, Marc Anthony (possibly means Pussyfoot would have appeared), Hippety Hopper, and many others. They do appear in the show's title sequence.
43	** The original Witch Hazel was actually intended to appear as a completely separate character from Witch Lezah, with the two being presented as sisters.
44	** The crew had originally wanted Honey Bunny to be the female counterpart for Bugs and his love interest, due to their dislike of the original Lola Bunny. [[ExecutiveMeddling Higher ups wanted Lola Bunny because she was more recognizable to a younger audience]], though the crew were allowed to give the character a much needed [[AdaptationalPersonalityChange personality shift]].
