They're are not so much dumb as they are young. Some studio execs literally do not know who many Looney Tunes characters ARE. And I don't agree, Bugs et al do appeal to kids, funny is funny. Years ago, I remember pitching a script to a studio executive who was clearly under 30. I mentioned the

I fear that the WB will inject a healthy dose of hip-hop influence along with the new character make-overs, as they seem to do with most of their TV programming. While many of these shows rank at the bottom in the Nielsons, they seem hell bent on continuing the trend. I doubt the new Bugs will
