Storyline
"The Porky Pig Show" packaged classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons many of them starring that famous stuttering pig, Porky. Most of the cartoons shown were produced in the 1930s and 1940s, though more than a few from the early-to-mid 1950s surfaced. First aired as a Saturday morning network series, the show moved to syndication in 1971. The syndicated series often aired daily (and sometimes weekends too) in many markets as part of local television stations' child-friendly after-school programming blocks. —Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>

- TriviaAs Warner Brothers had temporarily shut down its' animation division by the time this show went into production, the opening and closing sequences were produced by the New York City-based Hal Seeger studios (although utilizing the Warners characters), which resulted in a decidedly different feel from the earlier cartoons showcased on the program.

Classic
I used to watch this early Sunday mornings in syndication and always preferred it to The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show. Porky Pig skewed towards early cartoons, mostly predating the more famous Looney Tunes characters. The cartoons that made up the lineup for Porky Pig tended to be more zany and experimental, and spoofed much of the pop culture of the time. My two favourite cartoons were of a barely recognisable Porky Pig courting a barely recognisable Petunia Pig until he realises how lazy and shallow she is, and another showing a series of surreal incidents at a beach (starring many Hollywood parodies). Not as omnipresent were the same characters going through the same basic conflicts over and over. If Bugs Bunny Roadrunner were Mad Magazine, Porky Pig would be the insane early Kurtzman edited Mad comics.
