Looney Tunes Show: There Goes the Neighborhood [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

It's good to see Bugs Bunny in women's clothes again. I mean it. What's a trickster figure without access to his feminine side? What's the coolest of all animated cartoon characters without his gender bending sangfroid? He's well worth watching in any of his episodic roles here, of course, whether as a would-be restaurateur, a free-spirited office worker, a desperate caffeine junkie, or a frustrated home repair project guy; but without at least the occasional foray into cross-dressing, something's missing. On the other hand, these discs do emphasize the creepy, sadomasochistic vibe that exists between Daffy (the tormentor) and Porky (his willing victim) which, by the end of the "Murder" episode on disc two, has become more twisted and mirthlessly violent than it needs to be. "Is this funny," my partner wondered aloud, "or just really cruel?" These fourteen episodes veer off in some mighty interesting directions, though. There's Daffy in an unlikely trial run for single parenthood, Lola moving in with Bugs (temporarily), Porky desperately seeking a date, Sylvester in therapy, Speedy in love, and Pepe shakin' his fine French thing in a music video. The show is still a visual treat for animation fans: you realize how much this generation of animators owes to Kricfalusi, and how much Kricfalusi in turn owes to Clampett and Avery, so the characters have come full circle. (The spatter effect on the background colors may be a little overused here, but it's a very distinctive way of punching up the backgrounds.) In short, it's a pretty good ending to season one of the 21st century's animated, surprisingly hip revival of THE JACK BENNY SHOW.

I purchased this DVD to complete this collection as best as I can. This DVD in a good addition. Although I do not agree with the labeling as a part 2, the cartoons are good though. it's the newer version of the Looney tunes. Note: The second is not available on DVD like all of my other collections I own, which found to be disenchanting.

This is what I always imagined Bugs, Daffy and the other classic Looney Tunes characters like retired from their everyday jobs and living in the suburbs! Bugs is definitely more of the straight man these days and not as wild and over the top, but his deadpan delivery compared to Daffy's hilarious narcissistic antics are perfect! There is more than enough jokes and "in" gags for the old school fans as well as enough for the kids and newbies to the Looney Tunes universe! My kids (4 and 6 year olds) love this show, and I've gotten them hooked on the classic shorts as well! Now if we could get the rest of the series...and please Warner, no more 4-episode discs EVER AGAIN! Give the rest of the series to us if not in one complete season set, then like this set is: half a season at a time.

Love the fact all the Looney character are here! and a big fan of Both Bugs and Daffy working together! Those two when put together,Its hilarious! Each episode is really well written and funny story in each episode! Wish this show got a third season! A shame it ended to soon.

Very funny! Arrived in perfect condition. Excellent customer service from RareWaves.
