The Pink Panther Show

Due to the number of shorts produced, two episodes feature a Pink Panther cartoon sandwiched by two Inspector entries.

The tenth season featured 16 episodes with 32 new Pink Panther cartoons, and 16 featuring Crazylegs Crane: no bumpers were produced for The All New Pink Panther Show, but 10 second "Stay tuned..." bumpers explaining an upcoming entry were produced for the first several episodes.

[1] Henry Mancini composed "The Pink Panther Theme" for the live action films, which would be used extensively in the cartoon series as well.

[1] This was an anomaly, as other theatrical cartoon series that were airing successfully on television (i.e. Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Looney Tunes, Popeye) did not receive this addition.

The exceptions were Misterjaw and Crazylegs Crane, which were produced specifically for television and never re-released theatrically, resulting in laughter-only versions.

The Portuguese language Boomerang, France-based Gulli, and Poland channels TV 4 and TV6 also broadcast certain entries utilizing laugh track versions.

By 1982, MGM Television began syndicating some individual cartoons to local stations to air them as they saw fit.

Conversely, its New York City sister station WPIX featured a stripped-down version of the shorts, airing the entries without the laugh track, bumpers, or theatrical opening/closing credits.

The episodes shown on Teletoon Retro also featured remastered versions, while the wrap-around content was in rougher condition.

Currently, the show remains intact on the Spanish Language Boomerang TV channel with most entries containing their original laugh track.

During the journey, images of animals mentioned in the song (rhinoceros, tiger, cats, American mink) are seen alongside clips of the panther from Reel Pink, Come On In!

In the ending credits, the Inspector climbs back into the Panthermobile, but leaves the Pink Panther behind, who is seen chasing after the car.

The show's new title song, "Pantherly Pride", was written by Doug Goodwin and played over the opening sequence.

Later seasons swapped The Ant and the Aardvark with theatrical series' Roland and Rattfink, Hoot Kloot or The Blue Racer, as well as reruns of The Inspector.

New series The Dogfather (originally produced for theatrical release) was also added to broadcasts, in addition to The Blue Racer or Hoot Kloot.

The show was expanded to 90 minutes, and included a live-action segment featuring comedian Lenny Schultz reading letters from viewers.

[1] The final series broadcast on NBC, The Think Pink Panther Show reverted to the traditional 30-minute format and consisted of rebroadcasts.

For its tenth season, ABC picked up the series and requested 32 new made-for-television Pink Panther shorts, along with 16 entries for the new Crazylegs Crane segment.

[8] United Artists Television syndicated a weekday 30-minute Pink Panther show in 1980, complete with bumpers and laugh-tracked versions of the shorts.

The first consisted of The Pink Panther, Inspector, The Ant and the Aardvark and Texas Toads entries sourced from film elements utilized during the program's original network run.

[1] The second version consisted of The Pink Panther, The Ant and the Aardvark and Misterjaw entries sourced from new prints of the original film negatives and transferred to videotape, resulting in sharper images.

As The Pink Panther and The Ant and the Aardvark entries were sourced using theatrical prints (sans laugh track), a new, less invasive laugh track being employed on sitcoms at the time was added to the soundtrack for consistency to match the made-for-television Misterjaw entries and bumper sequences that retained their respective laugh-tracked soundtracks.

[10][11][12] On Amazon Prime, the Gerald McBoing-Boing segments were excluded due to copyright issues with NBCUniversal.

The second German version of the show, Die rosarote Panther-Show (The Pink Panther Cartoon Hour) which started airing Cartoonito Germany contains the showcase of animated shorts franchise by the Mirsch Company, DePatie Freleng Enterprises and MGM/UA Television called The Pink Panther Show between 1969 and 1980 complete with bumpers and laugh-tracked version of the ten cartoons, and was broadcast on Germany television network: from August 4, 2025 and April 25, 2027.
