This was a good show. It was a hilarious comeback to Looney Tunes, and the innuendos were very well executed, unlike that s*** we call Breadwinners. Great animation and writing, hilarious characters, funny gags and the last reason this is great? Hello Nurse and Minerva Mink. That is all.

I used to watch this show all the time when I was younger. It's hilarious and even educational sometimes (wheel of morality, list of all the countries, and even states and capitals), but mostly funny!
