Why did The Looney Tunes Show fail while Gumball became a huge hit? Both shows premiered the same day.

Happy 15th anniversary to both.

Gumball was actually funny. LTS wasn't.
>>
>>153495824
Gumball was something new so it wasn’t as divisive as TLTS.
>>
Gumball is more appealing to kids. Looney Tunes Show was trying to be Seinfeld starring boomer characters created 70 years ago, what 6 year-old wants to watch that?
>>
>>153495824
Drop in the bucket in a long list of Looney Tunes vs a relatively new concept.
Though Looney Tunes Show was actually more successful than Gumball when they both aired if I remember right, might have something to do with Gumball being a CN Europe production that kept it going.

people are slandered for being alive when looney toons came out so most people instinctively hate looney toons

People keep saying this, but TLTS had better ratings than Gumball.

You're right, they are silent gen characters.

When gumball came out Weird was In. Looney tunes just didn't have the same Zing.
Plus, and I mean that as respectfully as possible, it was when weed culture saw its big renaissance.
After all is said and done a children's cartoon that isn't an adaptation is primarily measured by its appeal to kids and secondarily by how much it appeals to stoners. Everything else (sober adult appeal, music, overall plot) comes as a DISTANT third.

Has the average Looney Tunes Show fan even seen Duck Dodgers 2003? I never see people online mention that one at all despite sharing the same creators.

I was 10 to 11 years old when both this show started to air and i liked them both. I probally liked TLTS in a diferent way but I did a lot. Porky was my favorite.
>>
>>153495824
Gumball was for kids
LTS was made for adults. Probably will a cult following
>>
>>153495824
Why did you fail as a human being while other people do more with their lives instead of creating these shitty threads?
>>
>>153496286
Duck Dogders was a big hit or miss for me. Some episodes where pretty good while others where just Meh with some good jokes here and there. I particulary liked the ones with the Martian and the Mars Empress the most. These where always 8/10 no matter what.
>>
>>153495824
Pre-lore adventure time audiences just wanted a show with dumb cartoon fun that was better than chowder, Gumball provided that while The Looney Tunes sitcom didnt. The concept was way too ahead of its time, maybe if it aired on Adult Swim it would have gathered a bigger audience.
>>
>>153495824
It completed its 52 episode run, it was never scheduled to have more episodes.

Animating an episode of TLTS took a lot more time and money than an episode of Gumball did. It doesn't matter that Gumball brought in slightly lower ratings when it took half as much (if even) to produce. TLTS and Venture Bros both brought in decent ratings and they both got axed in the end because their animation was too expensive for CN's tastes.
>>
>>153496121
did this continue as the shows went forward? I only see the first couple eps here.

I never liked the voice acting in either show. Looney Tunes had this weird slow pacing that made everyone's line reading feel stilted and awkward for no reason and in Gumball, Richard sounds like someone trying to speak with a cock in their mouth and Gumball himself had to change voice actors several times because they insisted on using a kid going through puberty with really scratchy broken voices to play him. Overall it's obvious that Gumball was the superior show though, it was a more subversive parody of suburban sitcoms and used a variety of animation styles to make the world itself feel more alive

And yet it died in two seasons. Hell, compared to Taz-mania and Duck Dodgers (which got 4 and 5 seasons respectably), LTS was a massive failure. Even Wabbit/NLT got three seasons on streaming.

>Kristen as Lola
>Bergman as Daffy
There is not a single thing wrong with their voice work
>>
>>153495824
Classical example of show killed by the horny fanbase
>>
>>153498298
Oh their voices were great, my problem with the show was just how the pacing made everyone sound awkward
>>
I thought LTS was boring desu

>Animating an episode of TLTS took a lot more time and money
I don't understand, isn't LTS pretty standard compared to all the differing artstyles Gumball has? Wouldn't the mixed-media elements of, for example, the Robinsons or Teri cause it to take longer?
>>
A beautiful day in a beautiful world
Chases all the clouds away
Life is a dream when you know you can sing
It's gonna be a beautiful day
It's gonna be a beautiful-

A beautiful dame in a beautiful world
A-chasing all my cares away
Oh could it be fate?
Wanna go on a date?
And make it a beautiful-


It's a beautiful day for a leisurely drive
Singing all along the way
It’s happy and fun when you're not on the run
It's gonna be a beautiful day
It's gonna be a beautiful- day!}

Gumball was an expensive show, they tend to go overbudget to the point they had to drop episodes.
>>
>>153498298
Joe Alaskey was the superior Daffy, he did actually voice him in the pitch pilot, but left since he didn't like the sitcom retool. Too bad he died 5 years later, so he never made amends with WB.

subversive parody? Gumball is just a discount mix of Malcolm in the middle and zombie Simpsons.
>used a variety of animation styles to make the world itself feel more alive
The flat and stiff 2d main characters take over 90% of the screentime. Even the backgrounds because boring after the first season. And nothing in Gumball comes close to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wibs4T1pGHA

Facts. Gumball was only good in the first seas. Plus they ripped off Sit Down, Shut Up.
