Good to see Lola in this show. And man, there's some deep cuts. Merlin The Magic Mouse and Cool Cat were not forgotten!

Ok. I binged it yesterday and have a few takeaways.

1. My love obsessed 10 year old self shipped Babs and Buster hard so making them twins in this kinda gives me the ick. And I neverI really got over it. 

2. Buster Bunny was the coolest kid at Acme U so them turning him into this weird, anxious, hand twirly, can't function without his sister there to guide him is ....a weird take. 

3. Why is Hampton so aggressively southern? And why did they give his entire personality to Babs (being a neat freak) and leave him with nothing but being southern and the anxious sad sack of a super famous toon who just wants to be a doctor as his personality?

3. Why does furball speak at all? 

I try and keep an open mind about these reboots but this one...on top of not being funny is just not good.  Like...it's just not. This very much feels like they were hinging on the name and the nostalgia then slapped all new personalities on all of the familar characters except for Plucky. Also, the original poked fun at modern pop culture all the time. Babs wanted to be a stand up comedian and constantly pulled out impressions of current celebs. Off the top of my head I remember Joan Rivers, Downtown Julie Brown, Jack Nicholson.  I didn't see any references to pop culture. I could have missed them as I did find the show to be terrible and started doing other things.

The final thing that I didn't like is that there were 2 sets of 3 main characters on the original. Buster and his pals Plucky and Hampton with Hampton being Pluckys best friend and Babs being Busters. Then Babs had her best friends Shirley and Fifi. Then the rest of the characters filled out the world: Elmrya and Max, Gogo Dodo, Furball, Squeaker, Taz,Sweetie Bird, whoever I'm forgetting. In the reboot Babs roommate is Sweetie Shirley is the RA and Fifi is just some cute girl with vintage style that Babs is briefly obsessed with. Why? Why did they do that?

And finally, why so much Granny? That was just....way too much.

Apparently I had thoughts and feelings.
