The Porky Pig Show is an American animated anthology television series produced by Warner Bros. Television for ABC in Saturday mornings. It is the second compilation series that consists of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical shorts that ran from 1930 to 1969, and is hosted by Porky Pig. It ran from 1964 to 1967, airing 26 episodes that spanned one season.
Like The Bugs Bunny Show, which also aired on ABC, this series featured three cartoons per episode (one that stars Porky, and two for other characters) and featured newly animated segments for both the intro and closing sequences, which were produced by Hal Seegar Productions. However, this series stands out for having no new material beyond the intro and outro.
Music
The opening and closing themes were composed by Winston Sharples, and sung by Barbara Cameron.
- Opening theme lyrics
Who's our favorite TV star?
Who comes on with a wham?
Who's got the laughiest show by far?
Porky: P-P-Porky Pig?
Our favorite ham!
When the music starts,
You wanna tap your toes
You feel like dancin' a jig,
Swing around in a circle and doe see doe
Time to watch Porky Pig!
Oh, that's Porky
Porky Pig
He's the barnyard
Mr. Big!
Now promenade all around the room
And find yourself a good seat
The show's a gonna be startin' soon
Time to watch...
Time to watch...
Porky Pig
Porky: Th-th-that's me, Folks!
- Closing theme lyrics
Porky: W-w-well, it's time for us to g-g-guh-leave.
Everyone: Aww...
Sadly now, we sing again,
To each and everyone
Gladly, we'll come back and then
We all have more fun
Watching Porky, and his friends
Wish it never had to end
Don't forget, next time we meet,
We're planning something big!
Just be sure to join us then for Porky Pig!
'Cause...
He's our favorite TV star
He comes on with a wham!
He's got the laughiest show by far!
Our favorite ham!
Don't forget, next time we meet,
We're planning something big!
Just be sure to join us then for Porky Pig!
Porky: Th-th-th-that's all, Folks!
