The Porky Pig Show is an American television anthology series hosted by Porky Pig that was composed of uncut Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, the first of which always featured Porky. Winston Sharples composed the title song, which began with the first half of the signature stinger.
It aired on its network run from 1964 to 1967, and again in repeats in off-network syndication from 1971 to 1990 as Porky Pig and Friends. Its main claim to fame is that it aired shorts not shown on The Bugs Bunny Show or its later incarnations.
The black and white cartoons were shown in their redrawn colorized versions, marking the first time these colorized versions has aired on public television. It aired on ABC in the United States and MTN-9 in Australia.
While The Porky Pig Show has not been released on DVD in full, it is included on Saturday Morning Cartoons 60's Volume 1 (Episode 1 - Often an Orphan / Mice Follies / The Super Snooper) and Volume 2 (Episode 3 - Scaredy Cat / Baton Bunny / Feather Dusted).

Goofs[]
- Sylvester's nose is incorrectly colored a pale pink in the intro and outro sequence of this show.
- Yosemite Sam is drawn extremely small instead of his normal size. In addition, because the animators used the Looney Tunes comic books as reference, he is drawn in his pirate outfit.
