The Porky Pig Show is an American animated televisionanthology series hosted byPorky Pig, that was composed ofLooney Tunes andMerrie Melodies theatrical cartoons made between 1948 and 1964. The series aired onABC Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1967, with 26 half-hour episodes created. The show occasionally aired in the early 2000s as part ofCartoon Network'sBoomerang 1964 block (on both channels), as well rerunning onCanal 5 in Mexico in the 2010s.
Each show began with a newly animated title sequence featuring a theme song by Barbara Cameron, in which Porky welcomes his friends into a barn to dance and watch his show. Following the three cartoons featured on the program (the first one always featuring Porky, and few of which would be featured on any incarnation ofThe Bugs Bunny Show until the 1990s), a closing sequence played in which Porky's friends say goodbye and promise to return the following week. The opening and closing were produced byHal Seeger Productions.Warner Bros. had shut downtheir own cartoon studio in the previous year.
