- 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 versionsThe 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 and the Cockroaches (1997) were also famously given the same treatment.

Featured review
great cartoon show
The pink panther show is brilliant cartoon with great sense of humour. It has great characters, the pink panther - clever, cunning, lucky; just like the little bird and the funny ant. the show follows from other great cartoon shows made in USA from about late 1920s like Disney, warner bros, hanna barbara. the unlucky ones in cartoon are aardvark, the big crane, the little workman, inspector clouseau who are made big fun of. the ingenious stories make them all cult characters. the stories are always good and have fair amount of humour and pitfalls for unlucky characters like aardvark and crane. there is great music and titles both in 1960s show and new show in 1970s. the pink panther character is cool with pink car and is good artist and dancer
