Quotes:

Narrator: Look at you. You're ready for a night on the town. Uh-oh, it looks like I spoke too soon.
Narrator: [the Pink Panther looks at his leg and notices that he has a loose thread. He starts pulling on the loose thread until he's unravelled all of the fur on his bottom half] Now look what you've done. You've defurred yourself...
Narrator: [background noises are replaced by the Pink Panther coming in in a pink fur coat and a black top hat] Now I've seen everything. Nitwit.

Theme from The Pink Panther (1963)

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.
