So after all these years I'm finally posting a blog.
As some here know, I've been watching the old Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies lately, and inspired by other cartoon reviews posted here, decided to post my thoughts. As I have about a thousand shorts to watch, I can't promise regular updates, but if anyone is interested, the first part is out.

@Samurai Equine Thanks, my friend!
I've read a lot about these cartoons over the years, so I'll do my best to include some background information in addition to the reviews. 
I'll try to publish the next part soon (I have a few written but might need to edit them a little) – the first few years don't have as many cartoons, so they didn't take as long as the later ones will.

Since you did cartoon reviews a while ago (and some other users might have too), I've been thinking about posting my Looney Tunes experiences here. There are about a thousand shorts (and that's just the main series), so it should take me a while. To put things in context, I've been watching them from the start, and "Buddy's Adventures" is the 92nd one counting both Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.
It would have to be just a few sentences per short, though – otherwise it would take way too long to write and read.
Have you planned to watch any new (or old) series, by the way?
I always liked reading the reviews, even for shows I hadn't seen much of myself.

I'm glad none of the episodes in the proper seasons were clip shows (the Friendship Is Forever thing was just a bonus), that's the laziest way to make an episode.
To be honest, I've noticed that a bit even with the Looney Tunes.
Of course few would have noticed back then, as they were shown before a movie and I guess practically no one saw them all, but watching them in a short time shows it. There were two shorts with Bosko as a lumberjack, and then we get another one with Buddy (and that's not the only time they've recycled Bosko plots with him).

Even my favorite cartoon of all time Hey Arnold is guilty of rehashing, especially in its final two seasons. A couple years ago, I made a very comprehensive review of the nine worst Hey Arnold episodes. Entry #8 is the one guilty of rehashing.

Wow, they even had the Cheese Festival in both episodes... I wonder if they really needed to come up with an episode fast (maybe to replace a rejected script).
I was reminded of another really lazy episode from a show I used to love: "The Little Peas" from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Most of the episode is just reused footage from an earlier episode ("The Big Cheese"), but now they retcon it so a tiny pea character no one had ever seen before saved the day. Pretty much everyone hated it.

I found the perfect place for fun haters!
I've been watching old Looney Tunes and came across this cartoon ("Buddy's Adventures" from 1934). And I was immediately reminded of your fun hate.

So I gave in to peer pressure and finally watched the pilot to Hazbin. Better late than never, I suppose.
I guess it was fun!
I still remember the Hazbin hype here when it was new – I'd probably never have checked it out without everyone here talking about it all the time.
But I'm glad I did! Four years later, I'm going through season 1 (just one episode left to watch). Based on what I've seen so far, I'd say it's definitely worth a watch!
I like the entire cast, but my favorite character isn't hard to choose...
Spoiler
Angel Dust was already number one for me after the pilot, and I haven't changed my mind on that.

I am glad to hear that you've been enjoying season 1! I also remember the hype on here back then, but I never got around to watching it.
Angel Dust is one of the characters that really stood out to me!

Sorry, I just had to.
I finished season 1 now and can't wait for more.
That's usually the case for me too, but for some reason, Hazbin was an exception – I guess the art style was what sealed the deal for me. 
If you enjoy the rest of it, giving Helluva Boss a chance is the logical next step – I don't think it quite matches the quality of Hazbin overall, but at its best, it's still great.
He's such an entertaining character, with a great design of course! As for recent developments, I think Niffty is climbing my ranking.
