Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). Well. I guess that answers my question about whether the Road Runner cartoons would start to decline. The humor here is primarily from the ridiculous extravagance of Coyote's plans. Most of the gags themselves just seem to be filling space. And the timing isn't even good. A Road Runner cartoon without great timing is like one of the characters is missing.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.1/4 (Okay)
