The Bugs Bunny Show is an American animated anthology television series produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons and Warner Bros. Television for ABC. It ran from 1960 to 2000, running for two seasons and 52 episode in a prime time slot, before moving to Saturday mornings from 1962 until 1967, during which it switched to CBS and was merged with The Road Runner Show to create The Bugs Bunny and Road Runner Hour. It would later continue to air through various iterations, including as The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show from 1986 until the end of its run.
In between the shorts during its original 52-episode run, it was hosted by Bugs Bunny and consisted of newly-created segments, including its title sequence and "linking" scenes featuring characters in a theatre setting. It was originally sponsored by General Mills with animated commercials with characters from the show.

Opening Theme Lyrics
Overture, curtains, lights,
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart
Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it
Tonight what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it
