• Development Hell: This show tried to get off the ground for a few years, and when we finally had a premier date, it ended up getting pushed back about 3 times. The show's concept was overhauled at least once.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Jeff Bergman provides the voice of Bugs and Daffy (he was originally Mel Blanc's initial successor for both roles).
  • Many Looney Tunes regulars return to reprise their characters, including Stan Freberg and June Foray.
  • Current Saturday Night Live cast members (as of 2011) Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen voice Lola and Speedy, respectively.
  • Witch Lezah is voiced by Bubbie the whale.
  • Rob Paulsen and Grey DeLisle have voiced a couple of background characters.
  • Mac and Tosh are voiced by Yakko and Wakko, respectively.
  • King Neptune is Lola's Dad!
  • Odo (Rene Auberjonois) is Pepe Le Pew!
    • You'd better be careful around Mr. House...
  • Gossamer is Darwin.
  • Cree Summer voices the backup singers in "Blew my Stack".
  • Jim Cummings returns for his role of Taz.
  • Granny's younger version is both Joy Peters and Flo.
  • Marvin is now voiced by Ninja Dave.
  • Bob Bergen returns as Porky and Billy West as Elmer.
  • John Kassir voices Pete Puma.
  • The Japanese dub keeps the actual voice cast from the most recent dubbed shorts with a noticiable change: Kouji Ishii (Garterbelt, Gato, Ryuji Yamazaki and Kotaro Taiga) replaces the late Daisuke Gouri as Yosemite Sam.
  • Sylvester's Mom is Shelby Turtle's Mom and |Mrs. Potato Head
• Name's the Same: Cartoon Network had an installment show that was named The Looney Tunes Show that ran from 2000 to 2004. Unlike this show, the first Looney Tunes Show was just a collection of classic Looney Tunes shorts from Cartoon Network's library (in a similar vein to CBS's "The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show," ABC's "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show," The WB's "That's Warner Bros" [later renamed "The Bugs and Daffy Show"], FOX's "The Merrie Melodies Show," and Nickelodeon's "Looney Tunes on Nick").
• Talking to Himself: Several instances. Most notably, Jeff Bergman is both Bugs and Daffy.
• What Could Have Been: Paul Dini was originally on-board years ago, but most of the writers were fired in development from the execs wanting fresher, younger ones, and he left to produce the live-action series Tower Prep.
  • Tower Prep used to air on Tuesday nights at 8 PM, only for the ratings to drop and subsequent cancellation. The Looney Tunes Show premiered in the same timeslot on the same night and got spectacular ratings. Go figure..?
  • Originally, The Looney Tunes Show was supposed to be called Laff Riot and it was supposed to be a Three Shorts type of show in the style of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures, which were in turn closer to the style of the original shorts themselves.
    • Casa De Calma was actually a completed pilot for Laff Riot, which explains that episode's noticably different comedy style from that of the other The Looney Tunes Show episodes.
    • A screening of Casa de Calma did not impress the higher ups who viewed it, as they disliked the UPA-esque style the episode had. As a result, most of the original artists were laid off and the show was retooled into the sitcom format it is now.
