WOW! That's awesome news if that's true! Do you at least remember the name of the site page? Maybe you can then google it.
Edit: I just read some news about this subject on the toonzone message board. While this isn't official news, a poster said that according to rumors he heard, not only are the LTs coming back to WB, but also to CN along with all new episodes and a plan to make Lola an official character. I pray that this is all true!
Slightly off topic, but if they are creating new LT shorts, I would like to see a comeback and renewal of some older classic characters: Bosko and Honey and their dog Bruno, Foxy and his girlfriend (that would be "Roxy" for those TTA fans), Goopy Gear, Buddy, Beans along with Ham and Ex. Sort of a makeover for those characters in new updated cartoons which could also serve as a bridge to introducing viewers to the older 1930s cartoons.
I'd also like to see the Martian Queen appear as an official new LT along with Lola.
Well, enough wishful thinking. . .

Wow, that's awesome news for you guys in the US if it's true! I mean we get LTs all the time on the Boomerang channel over here in the UK, but it'd be sweet to see new LT cartoons!
And if this news is indeed true, that means LU is doing very well! Yey! Long live LTs and LU!

Eh. . .I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. Isn't all Looney Tunes already considered 'canon'? Therefore, if they add new episodes, that would be included?
As for timeslot, it doesn't matter when they put it on. Even if Looney Tunes does take the Loonatics time slot, that doesn't mean that Loonatics is out of the picture. They'll probably put it at a later time. Which would be great, because I'd like to see it at a normal hour. Maybe they'll get rid of Spider Riders or one of the Krypto slots.
Here's hoping that there's truth in this rumor.

I'm personally not sure about that. Loonatics and Looney Toons seem to be set in entirely different types of worlds. The guys who make Loonatics try to maintain a certain level of believability to the characters and the planet they inhabit. In other words, most of the stuff that the Looney Toons went through wouldn't happen to the Loonatics characters simply because they wouldn't survive it. (unless you're Danger Duck. He survives everything from nearly getting imploded in space to getting thrown a couple hundred feet and hitting a wall without breaking anything. Is the guy naturally immortal or something?)
No biggie, though. I just wondered that if they were going to make a new Loony Toons show, they'd directly tie it in with the Loonatics, like explaining who had children with who and whatnot.

They stated that the Loonatics are the descendants of the Looney Tunes. And it was pointed as canon that Elmer J. Fudd existed in their world. It's just that the LTs mastered the high art of defying the laws of physics (you see, none of them studied law), an ability that has been lost over the generations .
Although, Ace did fall several hundred feet inside a train (with no seatbelt no less) and just walked away unscathed from the train wreck no worse for wear.
I sort of doubt it's an Earh 1, Earth 2 situation.

Whoah confusing. Never really properly thought about whether the connection between LTs and LU. I always just assumed the Loonatics were the descendents of the LTs hence they must be from the same universe as their ancestors. But the world of the Loonatics is indeed markedly different from that of their ancestors. Maybe they could be from an alternate dimension's future?
But Duck does seem to miraculously survive all the worst accidents doesn't he? Maybe he'd benefit more from Tech's molecular regeneration! He! He!
Ace: Mr. Director, how come i never get to do any of my own action scenes? I really want a go at doing some of those fancy martial arts moves!
Director: Now Mr. Bunny, we can't have our lead star getting injured in any way now can we? Don't you worry about having to do anything too physical. Just leave the dangerous high-flying stunts to your stunt double hmm?
Ace stunt double: *wobbles over* Uhhh, Mr. Director, i think i just cracked my ribs and dislocated my shoulder....

Hmm... I wonder...
Duck: Ha! You can't kill me! I'm immortal!
Me: Oh yeah!
Steals Ace's guardian strike sword.
Me: Take that! :STAB!: And that! :SLASH!: And how about a little more of this!

Hm, true. I mean, the Loonatics can be classified as anthropomorphic animals whereas the original Looney Tunes are more 'toons' than anthro animals. Of course, due to the vast number of years between the original Looney Tunes and the Loonatics, it's possible that with breeding and acclimating with the human public (Citing Tiny Toons and Animaniacs for their statement that a cartoon only ages when they are no longer appreciated, and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" that had 'toons' coexisting with humans and would presumably in the future become one big society). I assume their must've been crossbreeding of humans and toons in that case (weird as it sounds, it's better than the alternative of humans mating with feral animals to produce anthropomorphic ones!), since they're close in form and manner (animal 'toons' are often considered humans in animal suits, since they rarely act within their species and seem more human than animal) it wouldn't be impossible. At some point in time, they must've lost most of their 'toon physics', around the same time they decided to put on some pants, I guess.
Maybe it's based on who they're decendants of that decides what type of physical punishment they can endure. The more 'villianistic' characters - Daffy (not really a villian, but often portrayed as greedy or more negative than positive), Wile E., and Taz - were able to take a lot of punishment while the others - Bugs, Lola, and Road Runner - rarely, if ever, 'lost' (while it's not really fair to judge Lola since she wasn't in any of the original cartoons, she IS female and female characters rarely take as much punishment as the males). I haven't seen enough episodes to judge Slam's ability to take a beating, but I know Tech has that molecular regeneration which is an obvious homage to his ancestor and I've seen Duck get rather beat. When reflecting on their ancestors compared to the others, it's possible that while Ace, Lexi, and Rev lost their old 'toon physics' when it came to the amount of punishment they can take, Duck, Tech, and Slam's ancestors needed it much more and it's possible that their blood lines hung onto this attribute so they did not die out.
Of course, there's also the theory (supported by several original Looney Tunes) that the characters are merely actors playing the parts, so the Loonatics would be actors as well, perhaps even Bugs and the gang or may not be in anyway related to the actual Looney Tunes, but their characters are.
Just musing :3

Hmm, Tech, Slam and Duck coming from more robust and physical damage resistant bloodlines? Interesting theory....So that means the bunnies and Rev would be more easily injured if hit?
Martiangirl wrote: Well that explains why Ace, Lexi, and Rev move and duck so mast. They can't afford to get hit!
*Nods head.* Just what i was thinking. They may be more fragile and susceptible to injury. Tho' it's more likely that the writers just wanted to portray them doing more cool jumps, flips and other moves.

That's what I think, of course we haven't really seen much in canon to really support the theory so it's merely speculation. If it is indeed true, I think it could be quite interesting to see in play but perhaps too complicated to explain in a cartoon aimed at a relatively young audience. But from what I've seen, I've assumed this to be true. It seems much more dire when Ace, Lexi, and Rev are in danger than Duck or Tech, because they're more likely to bounce back. Thinking about it, Rev is possibly the one in most danger (and thus extremely in need of his hyper speed) since he is the one most far removed from this ancestor. He can speak, he is much more anthropomorphic with his legs designed like ours and not a birds (Most Looney Tunes were more anthropomorphic as they walked on two legs completely upright and such while Road Runner is probably more of an intelligent animal, as he is barely human at all and walks pretty much like a real roadrunner would), and he's more much naturally proportioned (Road Runner himself must've been a mutant among roadrunner [perhaps why Wile E. sought after him so much] because he was enourmous and looked more like an ostrich than a roadrunner, which are only at most 2 feet tall). So it's possible that a blow that would do little to Tech or Duck and seriously injure Ace or Lexi would kill Rev.
Hm, another thought - Ace, Lexi, and Rev are also decendents of 'lucky' characters, or whatever it is you choose to call the law that allows Road Runner to run through the painted-on tunnel and Wile E. to smack into it, so they also probably have the best luck at avoiding the anvil-falls (so to speak) that befall someone like Duck, whose ancestor is one of the most unlucky characters. So perhaps they all have some toon physics, but we only see Duck and Tech demonstate these laws because they're 'unlucky'.
This is, of course, ignoring outside factors because in all actuality Duck is hurt because he's the comic relief and Ace isn't because he's the leader (for some reason network execs hate it when a leader gets hurt seriously more thna once or twice and they may never, ever lose. Seriously, while some shows do this, it ticks off the network. This was a problem that the short-lived sci-fi series Firefly ran into). However, that's hardly fun to write off on at all and the task of working in logical reasons into the universe for illogical outside factors is really what makes it worth debating about, eh?

Too bad Saturday morning network TV no longer has the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short complimation series "The Bugs Bunny Show" (later became "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show" and then "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show").
If there is a new Kids WB Looney Tunes cartoon short series (just like when ABC aired the new Disney short series "Mickey Mouse Works" and "House of Mouse" from 1999 to 2002), could there be a revival cartoon series with Tiny Toons and Animaniacs characters under one roof or something like that next?
EVERBODY DANCE NOW!!!! Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!!! If they DO bring LT back, I hope they get someone who can reasonably sound like the oringinal characters. It's possible. They brought Tom and Jerry back, and I think LT still shows on Cartoon network (last time I saw cable; about three years ago). I wonder if they'd create a new show (Tom and Jerry Tales) or just play the old cartoons. *thinks*
