The Bob Clampett Show is an American anthology television program composed of theatrical Warner Bros. shorts animated or directed by Bob Clampett and a selection of shorts from the Beany and Cecil animated series during its second season. Produced and aired by Cartoon Network, the program ran from May 2000 to March 2001 in a total of 26 episodes, with reruns airing at the tail end of the Adult Swim block in the mid-2000s.
It is one of two animated anthology shows on Cartoon Network (joining The Popeye Show) that aired uncut and uncensored shorts, including those featuring racial stereotypes and controversial topics that would usually not air on American television.

Notes[]
- The show's opening sequence is produced entirely using puppetry and stop-motion. This is in contrast to other Looney Tunes-related anthology shows airing on Cartoon Network at the time, such as The Tex Avery Show and The Chuck Jones Show, which were traditionally animated.
- The show's title sequence features archival audio from a handful of Bob Clampett-directed cartoons:
- Bugs Bunny's "Gosh, ain't I a stinker?" line from "The Wacky Wabbit".
- Beaky Buzzard's "Oh-no-no-no-no-no" line from "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid".
- Daffy Duck's "Shortnin' Bread" song, "Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!" wacky laugh and "I see you!" line from "The Wise Quacking Duck".
- Porky Pig's "Quick! T-T-Tell me wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-where did he go?" line from "Porky in Wackyland".
- "Pilgrim Porky", "Kristopher Kolumbus Jr.", "Injun Trouble" (1938), "Ali-Baba Bound", "Africa Squeaks", and the Censored Eleven shorts "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs" and "Tin Pan Alley Cats" are the only shorts that never aired on the program.
- "Injun Trouble" was shown in clips alongside "Wagon Heels" to illustrate the differences between the original short and its color remake.
- Although there was mention of the director's cut ending of "Hare Ribbin'", the version that aired had the general release ending, which has also been subject to censorship on Cartoon Network and other channels.
