?? I thought you liked the A! revival. That's what I was referring to.More like miss and miss.

So basically, you want to traumatize a bunch of kids by implying that the Looney Tunes characters can die. Not to mention disrespect the vocal talents of Candi Milo.An episode I'd like to see is where Granny is revealed to be an imposter and that the real Granny had passed away several years before, referencing the death of Granny's longtime VA June Foray.
But that's not where the viewers are. Off-network syndication isn't really a thing anymore. Shows usually go back and forth between cable and streaming, then eventually to OTA or FAST. No studio goes into an animated series planning to make 104 episodes. 26 or 52 are the current magic numbers. The 65 episode package doesn't even happen nowadays.26 episodes for each of four school years would mean 104 episodes overall, enough for off-network syndication. That's where the real money is.
Keep in mind there are still people in the US with only an antenna to provide them TV. That's why I've been saying any half-hour show at least, with at least 100 episodes, regardless of whether it is animated or live-action, or kid-friendly or not, needs to be put on local stations.But that's not where the viewers are.

Why does this keep happening? If this keeps up, someday somebody might even listen to me.(@Fone Bone was right again:
difference is they wanted it this way because they had a very low budget, not for artistic reasonsI think that it's best to think of Tiny Toons Looniversity as it's own separate thing and not constantly compare it to Tiny Toon Adventures. After all, TTL is a reboot that was made by a completely different team more than 20 years after TTA. Looniversity isn't a continuation of TTA; it takes place as if TTA never happened.
If you happen to prefer the original, that's perfectly fine, but don't slam this new series just for not being the original. The show should be judged by it's own strengths and weaknesses. Looniversity is far from perfect, but one thing that I do like about it is how the show's producers wanted this series to be it's own thing and didn't just make it a beat for beat remake of Tiny Toon Adventures.
