Production
In 2002, The Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken had thought of the idea of rebooting the Looney Tunes into Boomerang, he then pitched the idea to Boomerang themselves. Boomerang didn't yet accept it after the box-office failure of The Powerpuff Girls Movie, but later accepted it after Cartoon Network president Sam Register liked the idea.

The animation for the Looney Tunes characters was done by CalArts, in which McCracken animated Whoopass Stew!, a cartoon short for the early version of The Powerpuff Girls. Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone along with Register signed on to be the executive producers. Greg Burson was thought on for rumors to voice Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, but due to him not voicing the characters, Joe Alaskey voiced both Bugs and Daffy, and several others characters as well as the additional voices.

The series has three segments. Looney Tunes segments focusing on the Looney Tunes characters which are 14 minutes long, 9 minute segments focusing on Sylvester Cat, Tweety Bird, and Granny, and 4 minutes segments featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. These segments were all produced in seven months. Several writers were chosen to write the show's episodes including Lauren Faust who would create My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Paul Rudish and Clayton Morrow who would later work on the 2013 Mickey Mouse television series and Chris Renaud who would co-direct the first two Despicable Me films along with Pierre Coffin. Though Renaud served as the writer for the first and second seasons.

On February 4, 2007, it was announced by series writer Bill Kopp that the series would not get a sixth season. And five days later on February 9, the series aired it's final episode, which was an TV movie. Buster Bunny, one of the main protagonists of Tiny Toon Adventures, appeared in two episodes: "Buster Goes to the Dentist" and "Birthday Buster!" However, his voice actor John Kassir did not reprise his role. Instead, Elmer Fudd's voice actor Billy West voiced the character in two of the episodes.
