Back when I was in elementary school, I read some of the Bunnicula books and found them quite fun. So when I heard Cartoon Network was making a TV show of it, I was indeed curious. Of course, just from seeing the preview I knew it wasn't gonna be exactly like the book, but after watching the first four episodes, that's not entirely a bad thing. Basically, take the surreal, supernatural humor of Gravity Falls and mix it with the premise and animation of Wabbit and you got this show in a nutshell.
Pros:
Despite being an undead vampire, Bunnicula is downright huggable and adorable. He's basically this show's equivalent to Stitch.
The animation is surprisingly fluid.
The humor is quite good and bound to get a few laughs from you.
The characters in general are very likeable and not mean-spirited jerks.
Cons:
Chester's Butt Monkey treatment can get a little too cruel at times. He's basically this show's Squidward Tentacles.
Likewise, Bunnicula's antics, while humorous, can border on Designated Hero territory. Granted, he's usually the one to set things right, but still, he kinda comes off as a troublemaker.
Harold's Flanderization. In the books, he's a laid-back, but intelligent and eloquent fellow. In here, he's been reduced to a cookie-cut dumb dog stereotype.

Overall, a good show and worth a watch.
