Bugs Bunny and pals had been syndication staples for several years when Warner Bros. decided to repackage the classic shorts as a daily syndicated series in 1990.
Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends was meant for 2 things.
1. It was a complement to ABC's Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show on Saturday mornings.
2. It was also meant to be competition for the Disney Afternoon anthology block.
After two seasons, Merrie Melodies was picked up by Fox, which already had Tiny Toon Adventures, and would add Batman: The Animated Series to its after-school block. If memory serves, Merrie Melodies aired in the morning in the home district, which is why I never saw it.

Daffy never quite got it back then.
No rating.
