I miss the Looney Toons they used to play on saturday mornings, the old Mel Blanc stuff. Back when Daffy wasnt always the asshole and no matter how many times they redid the same joke, it was always funny.
Later incarnations have always felt like half-assed knock-offs. especially since most of the voice actors for kids cartoons operate in a closed circle, so you have a small body of pretty sad, talentless hacks providing the same generic voices for a multitude of cartoons. there are some exceptions, Billy West is always good, but if you paid attention during the 90s, the same guy did the voice of Brain from pinky and the brain, also used the EXACT SAME VOICE for Orson Wells on several cartoons (and for the record, he sounded nothing like him...)same with whatever retard they had doing Foghorn leghorn on tiny toons. Not only did he not sound like the original, but he used the same voice for the "hip" animated colonel sanders in KFC commercials...
I hate it when they replace actors and expect everyone to be dumb enough to not notice a change.
