'''''The Bugs Bunny Show''''' was a long-running American [[Animated series|animated]] [[Anthology series|anthology]] television series hosted by [[Bugs Bunny]] that was mainly composed of theatrical ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' cartoons released by [[Warner Bros.]] between 1948 and 1969. The show originally debuted as a primetime half-hour program on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in 1960, featuring three theatrical ''Looney Tunes'' cartoons with new linking sequences produced by the [[Warner Bros. Cartoons]] staff.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |pages=98–99}}</ref>

After two seasons, ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' moved to [[Saturday-morning cartoon|Saturday mornings]], where it aired in various formats for nearly four decades. The show's title and length changed regularly over the years, as did the network: both ABC and CBS broadcast versions of ''The Bugs Bunny Show''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=163–164}}</ref> In 2000, the series, by then known as ''The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show'', was canceled after the ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' libraries became the exclusive property of the [[Cartoon Network]] family of cable TV networks in the United States. 

In Canada, Reruns of ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'' were aired on the channels [[Teletoon]] and Teletoon's sister channel, [[Teletoon Retro]] (until 2015 when Teletoon Retro signed off). Prior to Teletoon and Teletoon Retro, [[CBC Television]] (1960–1975) and [[Global Television Network]] (1978–1982, 1990–2000) aired the show. In Australia, episodes of the show were divided between three networks, with most episodes aired on [[Nine Network]], and some episodes divided between [[Network Ten]], and [[Seven Network]] since its debut. In Poland, the show aired on [[TVP1]] from 1979 till 1980 and again from 1991 till 1992. In Asia, the program was aired in Japan and South Korea in the early 1960s and also aired on [[ABS-CBN]] and [[Radio Philippines Network|RPN]] in the Philippines, it was also aired on TPI (now [[MNCTV]]) from mid 1990s to early 2000s and [[RCTI]] during 2000s in Indonesia as well.

==Broadcast and format history==

===''The Bugs Bunny Show'' in prime time, 1960-1962===
The original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' debuted on ABC prime time in the United States on October 11, 1960, airing on Tuesdays at 7:30 PM ET, under the sponsorship of [[General Foods]] ([[Post Foods|Post]] cereals, [[Tang (drink)|Tang]], etc.). Newly-produced linking segments were done for each episode by the Warner Bros. animation staff. [[Chuck Jones]] and [[Friz Freleng]] produced, directed and created the [[storyboards]] for the earliest of these, with [[Robert McKimson]] later taking over the direction while Jones and Freleng continued producing and writing.<ref>[[Leonard Maltin|Maltin, Leonard]] (1980, rev. 1987). ''Of Mice and Magic: A History of American Animated Cartoons''. New York: Plume/Penguin Books. Pg. 274–275.</ref> The wraparounds were produced in color, although the original broadcasts of the show were in black-and-white. A total of 52 episodes were made.

Rather than display the full Warner Bros. logo and opening title/credits sequence of each cartoon shown in each episode (as shown in the original theatrical versions and could take up to 20 seconds), new title cards were created to begin each cartoon and displayed for only about five seconds over a newly composed musical cue; the card omitted the Warner Bros. logo and any detailed credits of the animators, simply featuring the title of the cartoon in bold letters on a plain background, the main character of the cartoon standing off to one side and the copyright notice of the cartoon rendered in a smaller font at the bottom, before cutting directly to the opening scene of the cartoon. These cuts were sometimes awkward depending on how the original opening sequence was animated. A general credits line was shown at the end of each full episode: "Stories, Animation, layouts, and backgrounds: Members of [[The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839|Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists Local 839]]." (The ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' cartoons syndicated to local stations as a package, beginning in the 1950s, generally retained the original opening title sequences as shown in theaters. The current revival of the show on MeTV also uses the original theatrical title cards.)

The show's [[theme song]] was "This Is It", written by [[Mack David]] and [[Jerry Livingston]] (''"Overture/curtain, lights/this is it/the night of nights..."''). The opening title sequence, animated by Freleng unit animator [[Gerry Chiniquy]],<ref name="bbshow">McCorry, Kevin (2007). "[http://kevinmccorrytv.ca/bbshow.html The Bugs Bunny Show Page]."</ref> features Bugs and [[Daffy Duck]] performing the song in unison. For the final chorus, a lineup of ''Looney Tunes'' characters joins Bugs and Daffy onstage (Porky Pig, however, is absent from the procession, although Porky had a spin-off show based on the original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' 4 years later titled ''[[The Porky Pig Show]]'' which aired on ABC from 1964 to 1967).

''The Bugs Bunny Show'' proved beneficial to the Warner Bros. cartoon staff, as it allowed the studio to remain open despite the shrinking market for theatrical animated shorts.<ref name="endofstudio">[[Michael Barrier (historian)|Barrier, Michael]] (1999). ''Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in its Golden Age''. New York: Oxford University Press. Pg. 562. {{ISBN|0-19-516729-5}}.</ref> The final first-run episode of the original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' aired on August 7, 1962,<ref>[http://www.tv.com/the-bugs-bunny-show/a-tale-of-two-kitties/episode/258691/summary.html?tag=ep_list;title;25 The Bugs Bunny Show: A Tale of Two Kitties&nbsp;– TV.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> and the Warner Bros. animation studio closed the following spring.<ref name="endofstudio" />

===The move to Saturday mornings, 1962–1985===
ABC began re-running ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' on Saturday mornings in August 1962 until September 1967, when it was moved to Sunday mornings for the remainder of its run. The series was rerun in color beginning in 1965 and remained on ABC until September 1968. At this point, the series switched to CBS, where it was combined with ''[[The Road Runner Show]]'' (which had aired on CBS since 1966) to create ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour''.<ref name="bbrrhour">McCorry, Kevin (2007). "[http://kevinmccorrytv.ca/bbrr.html The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour Page]."</ref> The standard ''Bugs Bunny Show'' opening and the announcer's introduction of Bugs Bunny ("that [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-winning rabbit!") were directly followed by the rabbit's saying, "...and also starring my fast feathered friend, the Road Runner", after which ''The Road Runner Show's'' theme was played. ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' combined re-edited bridging sequences from both shows to link the seven cartoons featured in each episode. The bridging sequences would be edited further in later versions of the ''Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour''.<ref>Beck, Jerry and Will Friedwald, ''Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: The Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons'', Henry Holt, 1989</ref>

In 1971, ''The Road Runner Show'' moved to ABC and a reconstituted half-hour ''Bugs Bunny Show'' aired on CBS, featuring re-edited versions of the bridging sequences and a different grouping of cartoons.<ref name="bbrrhour" /> In 1973, ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' returned to ABC for two seasons, only for CBS to re-acquire both shows and bring back ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' in 1975.<ref name="bbrrhour" /> In 1976, [[Sylvester (Looney Tunes)|Sylvester]] and [[Tweety Bird|Tweety]] were featured in their own ''Sylvester and Tweety Show'' for one year, necessitating the removal of most of the Tweety and/or Sylvester cartoons on ''Bugs Bunny/Road Runner'' that season. Also that year, a weekly half-hour prime-time edition of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show'' briefly aired on CBS' Tuesday night schedule, from April through June.

''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' became ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show'' in November 1977, after CBS added another half-hour to the runtime. In 1981, a companion ''Sylvester & Tweety, Daffy and Speedy Show'' was added to the CBS schedule, which included a number of later cartoons produced by a reestablished Warner Bros. Cartoons studio from 1967 to 1969. The following year, this new companion series was canceled and its cartoons were incorporated into ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show'', which was broadcast as two separate hour-long programs on Saturday mornings (for the second program, the show's opening titles were re-animated).<ref name="bbrrhour" /> In 1983, CBS returned the show to 90 minutes and the bridging sequences were dropped. The following year, the "This Is It" opening was jettisoned altogether; a new title sequence (created from clips of the cartoons) and new theme song ("It's Cartoon Gold"), composed by [[Steve Zuckerman (composer)|Steve Zuckerman]] with lyrics by [[John Klawitter]], introduced the show.

===Final Saturday morning years, 1985–2000===
CBS gave up the rights to broadcast the Warner Bros. cartoons following the 1984–1985 season, and as a result, the show moved back to ABC, where it became ''The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour''. Cartoons featuring Tweety or [[Speedy Gonzales]] were not broadcast on ABC during the 1985–86 season, the latter presumably due to objections toward Mexican stereotypes. The following year, however, Tweety cartoons were added to the program, which was reduced to a half-hour and renamed ''The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show''.<ref name="bbtweety">McCorry, Kevin (2007). "[http://www.kevinmccorrytv.ca/bugstweetysho.html The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show Page]."</ref> Beginning with its third season, ''The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show'' was expanded to a full hour and the original "This Is It" theme was reintroduced with similar animation as the original, accompanied by the introductory sequence introduced in 1982.<ref name="bbtweety" /> Another version of the "This Is It" opening sequence was done in 1992, with different character animations.

Though the program did not qualify for the [[E/I|educational/informational]] designation, it nonetheless remained on Saturday mornings after the new designation debuted in 1996, one of the few non-E/I programs to survive the rules changes. The previous year, ABC was bought by [[The Walt Disney Company]], and ''The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show'' was the only non-Disney cartoon to remain on the lineup, due to their contract not being up yet, and was in the first few years of the [[ABC Kids (TV programming block)#Disney's 1 Saturday Morning|Disney's One Saturday Morning]] block starting in 1997 (with the Disney logo omitted from the blocks bumpers during the show). The program was often paired with ABC's in-house ''[[Schoolhouse Rock!]]'' shorts during this time.

The hour-long ''Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show'' remained on the air until 1999, when it was again reduced to a half-hour. In 2000, Warner Bros. made the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies film library exclusive to [[Cartoon Network]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.awn.com/news/cartoon-net-lands-looney-toons-plus-4-new-shows|title=Cartoon Net Lands Looney Toons Plus 4 New Shows|quote=Cartoon Network has also landed the exclusive television rights to Warner Bros. classic LOONEY TUNES titles starting Fall 2000. This is the first time the entire library of nearly 900 classic animated shorts has been featured exclusively on one TV network.|publisher=[[Animation World Network]]|date=2000-03-08|accessdate=2021-03-22}}</ref> which Time Warner owned as part of the purchase of [[Turner Broadcasting System|Turner Broadcasting]] in 1996. As a result, ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' ended its nearly four-decade-long network run, one of the longest runs in the history of United States network television.<ref name="bbtweety" /> Outside cartoons in the public domain, Warner Bros. cartoons would not return to American broadcast television until the 2021 debut of ''[[Toon In with Me]]'' on [[MeTV]], along with a companion Saturday morning block.

==Legacy==
This show is credited for keeping the Warner Bros. cartoons made during the [[Golden Age of American animation]] a part of the American consciousness. Indeed, the show ran for almost four decades, helping inspire [[animator]]s, comedians, [[historians]], and others who watched Saturday morning television.<ref name="tv">{{Cite web |url=http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/tv/ |title="Looney Tunes on Television", a website dedicated to the ''Looney Tunes'' television broadcast history, and maintained by Kevin McCorry and Jon Cooke. |access-date=2022-07-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050310235333/http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/tv/ |archive-date=2005-03-10}}{{unreliable source?|date=July 2021}}</ref>

The "This Is It" song's fame is such that it has been used elsewhere, such as in the Canadian province of [[Ontario]] where it was used in a [[TV commercial]] promoting the various [[performing art]]s [[tourist attraction]]s, where artists of various disciplines sing separate lines of the song. {{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}

When Warner Bros. released its video series "Golden Jubilee", featuring the classic cartoons, the opening sequence shows the [[Tasmanian Devil (Looney Tunes)|Tasmanian Devil]] maniacally riding a motorcycle down a city street chased by a [[police]] car. He makes a sharp turn into a theater, where the rest of the Looney Tunes are performing to the ''Bugs Bunny Show'' tune.

Beginning in January 2021, the original "This Is It" opening sequence was included in ''Bugs Bunny and Friends'', part of [[MeTV]]'s ''Saturday Morning Cartoons'' block.

In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "[[The Opera (Seinfeld)|The Opera]]", as [[Jerry Seinfeld (character)|Jerry]] and [[Elaine Benes|Elaine]] are waiting outside the opera house, Jerry starts singing "This is it" to pass the time to which Elaine laments to him by saying, "You know, it is so sad that all of your knowledge of high culture comes from Bugs Bunny cartoons."

== Animated sequences produced for the show ==

A series of short animated scenes were produced for the show, featured "linking" moments during the fictional theater setting of the show. Some of these scenes included:
* The opening teaser showed [[Bugs Bunny]] and [[Daffy Duck]] performing a duet about the start of the cartoon show; as they sing it, in the background crossing the stage are some of co-stars' regulars: [[Tweety Bird]]; [[Speedy Gonzales]]; [[Pepé Le Pew]]; [[Sylvester the Cat]]; [[Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner|Road Runner]]; [[Hippety Hopper]] (aka Giant Mouse); [[Yosemite Sam]]; [[Elmer Fudd]]; [[Wile E. Coyote]]; [[Foghorn Leghorn]].
* A frustrated Daffy Duck bickering on stage with Bugs Bunny. Daffy declares, "''Last'' week you said you were going to introduce me ''next'' week!"  Bugs replies, "Right...but this isn't next week, is it?"  Daffy trips himself up and replies, "You're doggone tootin' is isn't! This is ''this'' week! And next week is uhhh...ummm...sheesh!"
* A barking sheepdog wanders into the theater, saying "Which way did he go?  Where's the little bunny I saw on TV last week?" Daffy, at this time, has dressed up in a rabbit costume and is on stage pretending to be Bugs. The sheepdog pounces upon Daffy and exclaims, "At last, at last!  I have caught a bunny rabbit!"
* Bugs entertains the audience by playing a guitar. An angry Yosemite Sam barges in the theater shouting, "Can't ya see I'm tryin' to sleep?!?", snatches the guitar from Bugs, and snaps all of its strings but one.
* Bugs demonstrates some cartoon physics, including slow-motion, fast-speed and "vibrating to a stop."

The show's title sequences and some of these linking material scenes from the original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' are included as bonus features on each volume of the ''[[Looney Tunes Golden Collection]]'' DVD collection (with the exception of [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6|Volume 6]]). As the original color negatives were cut up by CBS and ABC to create later versions of the show, the linking sequences are presented on DVD using a combination of footage from both what's left of the color negatives (some of which were used in later incarnations, thus helping to preserve them) and the black-and-white ABC broadcast prints prepared in the early 1960s.<ref name="CartoonResearchFAQ">{{cite web|last=Beck|first=Jerry|title=Cartoon Research FAQ|url=http://www.cartoonresearch.com/questions.html|work=CartoonResearch.com|access-date=May 16, 2010|archive-date=November 12, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151112103912/http://www.cartoonresearch.com/questions.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On the ''[[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2]]'', the opening to the ''Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show'' (with the announcer calling it the ''Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'') and two openings to the ''Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'' (the 1988 opening and the 1992 opening) were released as special features.

In 2009, an episode of the ''Bugs Bunny Show'' in color was released on the Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Volume 2 set. Saturday Morning Cartoons 1970s Volume 2 includes an episode of the ''Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show''.
