Format
The series originally ran for 90 minutes. Its first four episodes included Looney Tunes shorts with newly made title cards, along with short segments from Animaniacs, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Pinky and the Brain, and Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain. Most episodes of Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain were shown through this program, as that series had been removed from the schedule in November 1998 due to low popularity. The show gained a second season, during which its full name changed to The Cat&Bunny Warneroonie SuperLooney Big Cartoonie Show and featured only episodes from Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.
Host segments starring two animated children, Karen and Kirby (voiced by Cheryl Chase and Richard Steven Horvitz), were added. The series aired on weekday afternoons and also included Looney Tunes shorts. It was cancelled at the end of the 1999–2000 season, and with its end, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain, and Looney Tunes were retired from the Kids' WB block for the 2000-2001 lineup. In July 2023, the series began airing on the Croatian free-to-air television network Nova TV.
