The Looney Tunes Show - Season 2 [updated] -

While Daffy remained as narcissistic as ever, Season 2 gave him more depth. Episodes like "Daffy Duck, Esquire" and "The Christmas Carol" explored his insecurities and his strange, symbiotic friendship with Bugs.

The primary setting—Bugs’ suburban home—becomes a pressure cooker of neuroses.
