The Pink Panther Show

"The Pink Panther Show" is a showcase of DePatie-Freleng animated cartoons from the 1960s and 1970s, prominently by David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng. The television series was produced by Mirisch Films and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, and was broadcast on several American networks: from 6 September, 1969 to 2 September, 1978 on NBC, and from 9 September, 1978 until 1 September, 1979 on ABC as "The All-New Pink Panther Show". It also appeared on CBS during the 1985-86 television season. Doug Goodwin composed the show's theme music, and this show was "hosted" by The Pink Panther and The Inspector. Each show included new bridging sequences featuring the Pink Panther and The Inspector together. The show’s opening shows an approximately ten-year-old boy driving a rocket car from the countryside to the Chinese theatre, and then letting out the Pink Panther and the Inspector.
