I was raised on re-runs of the old Merry Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoons, and frankly the 80's/90's/00's versions of Bugs were just boring and unfunny to me.
At first the drawing style of Wabbit was off-putting, reminded me of Ren & Stimpy a bit, but I think it really gave them a fresh start. If they had continued with the Space Jam style the visual gags they used this time would not pan out.
It is cool to see Bugs in modern situations, although I don't think in 30 years that people will find the pop culture stuff that interesting. Or maybe they will, who knows?
And I'll say it like I see it: NOT missing Daffy or the rest of the gang yet. Daffy had evolved into Cranky Duck and his angry attitude isn't missed. If they started writing him again like they did in the 50's, then maybe I would change my mind.
I watched this with my 4 year old son (about the same age I remember watching the original) and we were both laughing. I don't think I've laughed at a Bugs Bunny cartoon since I was under 10 years old, but this show is that funny. Leave your preconceptions at the door and enjoy it for what it is. I did!
