I Loved It.

The Pink Panther show was one of the best shows I ever saw in my life. I must have seen it about a ZILLION X's when I was little and I never got bored of it. Even as a teenager I used to watch it and I never got bored of it. It was very well written and had a lot of stuff in it that even I understood as a child. Hopefully this show will come back to TV so that kids of today can see what funny is because I'm not sure if the kids today even know what funny is when they're being exposed to Sponge Bob Square Pants and other positively repulsive shows like that.

Funny thy name is the Pink Panther and everybody knows that's what funny is.

Yet another childhood gem

I loved watching The Pink Panther Show as a child, and I still have a lot of nostalgia for it. The animation and stories are quite simple, but this simplicity works. The animation holds up surprisingly well, and the scenarios are funny without being corny and predictable. There is minimal dialogue, which is not a bad thing at all, as the visual gags are consistently hilarious. The theme tune is a classic, even if people haven't seen the show, they know the theme tune. The characters are great, there aren't many, but it is better like that. My favourites are Pink Panther, obviously and the bumbling Inspector Clousseau. Overall, delightful and one of my childhood favourites. 10/10 Bethany Cox

A true classic

One of the greatest animated masterpieces ever. Perfect for kids, full of jokes. Highly recommend.

They don't make cartoons like this anymore

I'll never forget the times when that I used to watch Pink Panther every morning during my grade school years and that cartoon was fantastic, it is well written, has good music and the situations with the dog and his owner were hilarious, nowadays what you see in some of the cartoons are crude vulgar humor and I don't think that children deserves to watch shows like that, instead they should show children some of the good old cartoons like this, I think that Pink Panther should come on the Cartoon Network and it give the adults some of those great memories that they once enjoyed.

classic

It is a classic. Out of definitions or verdicts. Its music, its characters, its great humor are more than virtues but , front to contemporary animations, a sort of happy refuges. A pink panther. A lot of stories. Simple, absurde, deep unrealistic. But so charming. Short - a huge hero. British, strange but ...lovely.

Trivia
The character was originally created for the opening credits for the film La Panthère rose (1963), and after this series would be a part of every Inspector Clouseau film made from here on in.

Goofs
Every single episode features multiple animation errors.

Quotes
Pink Panther: [as the hunter runs across the bridge and back onto the ark he created and laughing hysterically] Why can't humans behave more like animals?

Alternate versions
The series was given a unique spin in Germany. Comedic voice-over was added to every episode, with a narrator following along the stories and providing commentary in rhyming verse, full of various wordplays and puns. Many originally unnamed characters were given names, even the Pink Panther himself: in Germany, he was known as Paul or Paulchen (Paulie). Another change was giving the originally male blue Ardwark a female voice and naming her "die Blaue Elise" or "the Blue Elise", and she would at times refer to herself in third person. The German edit also created unique opening and closing titles with original songs. At the end of every episode, Paulchen Panther would turn to the audience and say the rhyming phrase "Heute ist nicht alle Tage; ich komm wieder, keine Frage." ("Today is not every day; I will be back, no questions about it."). The phrase was so popular among German viewers that it became part of everyday use. Adding rhyming commentary to voiceless foreign cartoons was a common thing in Germany. "Tom and Jerry" (1940) and Oggy et les cafards (1997) were also famously given the same treatment.
