Looney Tunes: charmingly quaint?

We have just introduced the kids to the wonderful world of Looney Tunes, thanks to old shows on DVD available at our local library. As a purebred conservative, I tend to think older things are better in most circumstances, especially where technology and media are concerned. I spent hours a day during my childhood enjoying Bugs Bunny and his friends, and so it’s been charming to keep the tradition alive. My walk down memory lane was just interrupted by my taciturn 7 year old son’s commentary:

“I love Looney Tunes because it’s violent. It’s just one show after another of people chasing each other around trying to kill each other.”

Oh well… it’s still worlds better than SpongeBob, right?
