Buzz Bunny to replace Bugs Bunny?

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,...714803,00.html

Note: I advise yez not to google for "Buzz Bunny" because ... well, just take my word for it.

Mile High Shack · 02-17-2005, 07:50 AM

I saw this on the news last night

I think this is probably close to number 1 all time of worst ideas thought up by a marketing deptartment

oh come on you can't say something like that and not expect people to go look it up.

I think I've heard of it before. Yeap I have.

There's so much evil in the world.....

WB might as well make it anime also while they're at it.

Mile High Shack · 02-17-2005, 08:03 AM

I sincerely hope that WB loses it's collective asses on this for spitting on Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones' graves

Mtbrncofn · 02-17-2005, 08:56 AM

Yep, I'm with Shack on this one.

Nuggets4 · 02-17-2005, 09:00 AM

You would think that the Google results for that would stop WB.

Then again, you would think the blasphemy would stop them from doing it in the first place........

Billy Clyde Puckett · 02-17-2005, 09:03 AM

The World will end.

IT development will come to a complete halt

Code Toads cannot possibly function without a weekly dose of Bugs Bunny

johnstkr · 02-17-2005, 09:15 AM

Ah the smell of New Coke

JCMElway · 02-17-2005, 09:36 AM

But,

Have you ever watched any of the cartoons that kids actually like these days? Ever since getting past my teenage years, I look at the cartoons kids watch and I'm totally nonplussed.

This could end up bombing out, but I wouldn't be surprised if their target audience responded to it....

They said they are doing this to keep up with modern kids. They don't know what they are talking about. My 8 year old son watches a lot of the old cartoons on Cartoon Network. He watches old TV shows too. His favorite is The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He can rap the entire theme song. He also watches re-runs of The Cosby Show and Full House. He likes older movies as well. He loves Problem Child, The Goonies, Sandlot, and some others.

The point is that there is no need to keep up with the modern kids. Kids still react to what we did when we were kids.

TV also sucks for adults. The only current sit-com that I watch is That '70s Show. I don't even know what shows are on. I watch the re-runs of Seinfeld (best show ever). During the prime time hours I'm watching Discovery. Biker Buildoffs, American Choppers, American Hotrods, Overhauling, Rides. They have a new show, It Takes a Thief, that's pretty good. Mythbusters is cool.

The only reality show that I've been able to get excited about is The Amazing Race. That show is great. I don't really care about the rest.

TV just sucks. Changing Bugs and Daffey is just one more sign of that.

There is an enormous divide between what people want and what the corporate types think people want. Just like that little chump Clay Aikens - they tried to 'punk' him up with hair and clothes and whatever. It never occurs to them that he has fans because he isn't like everyone else. Those old shows are head and shoulders above what is on today.

bendog · 02-17-2005, 12:39 PM

The current bugs cartoons suck. I coulnd't get my kid to watch. But the old ones by chuck jones, different story. They're dated now, but the storyline and the lack of humor is the problem of looney toones today.

bugs had an evil side. but the new thing is ...... like soooo obvious.

Smilin Assassin · 02-17-2005, 03:07 PM

hmmmmm....

Jason in LA · 02-17-2005, 03:20 PM

I thought it was going to be a little change. Like the Card's logo, and like the Seahawk's logo. They just made them look a little more sleek. But that new Buggs is totally different. That's just bad. Kind of like all these new uniforms.

bendog · 02-17-2005, 03:22 PM

who dhat? not a coyote, please?

Hogan11 · 02-17-2005, 04:05 PM

That thing doesn't even look like a rabbitt.

Man, I hope the whole idea backfires on WB big time.
