Why does Animaniacs seem to be more popular? It had certain bad habits this show didn't seem to.

it was a cheaper license since thye were an orignal creation and not a spin off of looney tunes, it reran more on syndication and had lots of product tie ins. Exposure helped its run.

The Animaniacs weren't direct clones of any original Looney Tunes character like the cast of TTA were, and TTA was made first by the same people. It was sort of their warm up and they brought their now experienced A-game with fresh characters that won't live in the shadows of the originals they're copied from to Animaniacs.
Also, TTA wasn't perfect either. The Warners could be assholes, sure, but TTA derived more than a few plot beats from classic LT all the time, eventually Plucky's treatment started getting out of control and personally, I always felt like the times they made jokes or situations out of someone trying to eat another character came off as creepier, or worse, setting up a vore-vibe than a classic short where Elmer or Tazz are trying to put Bugs in a stew pot..

You could tell humor-wise is when the creators really cut loose, whether it worked or not. I watched both as kids and could retrospectively tell TTA was the "warm-up" (even if I loved both shows). Hell, watch early TTA versus later (as poster said, Plucky's evolution was a good example), which was becoming Animaniacs Lite.
