We'll wait and see. I know Jessica Borutsksi wasn't pleased with how the show turned out. All she did was design the characters for how they appeared in the first season. So far, the second season has been improving a bit. And at least we're going for a third season, unlike its more violent sister show "Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated," which will be canceled at the end of the second season.

A reliable source of info and a link to that source would make this "news" significantly more credible.
Somehow, I doubt that Warner Brothers would just up and cancel a series if it's doing well just because the character designer wants to leave after 3 seasons. They can just hire someone else to design the characters for the show, right? And even if TLTS does end after 3 seasons, that's still pretty good. 3 seasons is more than a lot of other shows on Cartoon Network have gotten.
It's too soon to start playing Taps for TLTS, especially when news of the shows' cancellation is as yet unconfirmed. TLTS didn't end after the CGI Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote shorts were finished after season 1. I'm going to wait until I see, hear, or read something official from WB or CN. Unless or until we get a link to an official source of info (and sorry, but another message board isn't a reliable source), I'm going to chock this one up to the rumor mill.

Jessica Borutski has announced she is leaving WB after Season 3 of The Looney Tunes Show which means the show will be forever cancelled. :(
Source? Link?? How exactly does this announcement mean the show is "forever canceled"??
Classic example of a tiny flake snowballing into a rolling avalanche with zero material evidence to support it.
All that's been stated is that Ms. Borutski has announced on her Facebook page that she has storyboarded her last Merrie Melody. That's all. NOWHERE has it been announced that The Looney Tunes Show has been canceled. Nowhere. The show could easily continue without the Merrie Melodies; it's not like they are/were vital to show's survival. Heck, there have only been 2 MMs so far this season.
TLTS is doing well in the ratings, folks; it's making merch and regularly putting butts into seats. Season 2 isn't even over yet and people are already screaming swansong after season 3, just because 1 person is seemingly departing. I say we wait until we hear some official word from Warner Bros. or Cartoon Network before we start crying wolf.

I didn't even know there's going to be Season 3.
Exactly. There's been no official announcement made about that either, and a Google search on this headline turned up nothing except for this thread talking about it and a similar one on Toon Zone, which was likewise created by a fan and has no source sited (could be the same person, for all we know).
Until we hear something official from Warner Brothers or from Cartoon Network, this is a rumor, not a report.

I'm taking this one as a rumor--and nothing more.

It strikes me as counter-intuitive that Warner Brothers would take their premiere cartoon menagerie out of the spotlight. The Walt Disney Company, by contrast, can afford to retire Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy to the toddler set. Disney has a huge stable of significant animated characters, and three theme parks operating in the black. Their properties are in no danger of falling off the public radar.
The Looney Tunes, however, have comparatively few premiere characters, and the Six Flags resorts are, as far as I can tell, still under Chapter IX bankruptcy. Warner Brothers cannot afford to take Bugs Bunny and company off the stage; they simply don't have the depth that Disney has. The Looney Tunes Show is do-or-die for the Looney Tunes and Warner Brothers. They have no retreat.

Since this is most likely a rumor, I think I shall close this thread. I don't want members to get confused or worried.
