Baby Looney Tunes, from what I've seen, isn't funny except by accident or in short musical segments (where, unfortunately, Baby Bugs comes across as a real jerk), and the characters only have dim outlines of their grown-up personalities (really crippling Baby Lola, who doesn't have a personality when she grows up).

But the stories are genial enough, if based on ``One Baby's Feelings Are Hurt And They Have To Get Better,'' but they're all right so far as that goes. Honestly, it's the sort of show sensitive adults make because they think kids need more help feeling what they already feel. The animation style's fair enough in that competent 1980s way with watercolor backgrounds and character designs that are nice to look at. The characters sound like higher-pitched Tiny Toons impersonators.

I don't think any of the shows Best Brains were working on went anywhere. Cynically one might suppose the Sci-Fi Channel only said they were interested in working on new shows to keep fans supposing there might be new material right around the corner, and maybe turn any anger aside. (Kind of like how Paramount is so insistent that a new Trek movie is ``in the early production stages'' and a new series is ``being worked on.'')
