The Bugs Bunny Show was the first television production for the Warner Bros. cartoon department. It originally aired in primetime on ABC, eventually producing two seasons worth of programs. The shows featured new linking animation intertwining three (sometimes four) classic Looney Tunes theatrical shorts. What follows is a listing of the two years worth of primetime programs which were produced. Screen credits are given where available for the shows, listed in order by original airdates.

This Bugs Bunny vintage poster is a replica of the full-color posters that Warner Bros. used to promote the original theatrical runs of Looney Tunes cartoons. The posters featured popular characters like Bugs Bunny in general poses, and theater operators would attach affix a separate, smaller promotional piece called a "lobby card" to the poster to promote the new short. The current scarcity of the original artwork has made them highly sought after collectibles, and this puzzle is a terrific reproduction . This puzzle is 1026 pieces and measures 20 x 27 inches when complete. Ages 12 and up.

The prototype Bugs Bunny first appeared in the cartoon short Porky's Hare Hunt, released on April 30, 1938. The short was co-directed by Cal Dalton and Ben Hardaway. The cartoon had an almost identical theme to a 1937 cartoon, Porky's Duck Hunt, directed by Tex Avery and which introduced Daffy Duck. Following the general plot of this earlier film, the short cast Porky Pig as a hunter against an equally nutty prey more interested in driving his hunter insane than running away. But instead of a black duck, his current prey was a tiny, white rabbit. This character introduces himself with the expression "Jiggers, fellers," and Mel Blanc gave the rabbit a voice and laugh that he would later use to voice Woody Woodpecker.

Any happy memories of Bugs Bunny have been replaced by the AOL Time Warner Classic concept.. Once Time Warner took over Cartoon Network, the Warner Bros. cartoons, Scooby Doo and Flintstones were all that remained of old 'toons. Even worse, one of the greatest cartoon theme songs of all time-- "Overture! Dim the lights! This is it, the night of nights..."

After the Bugs Bunny show was cancelled, and with his public persona now reduced to that of a turd on a stick, Bugs turned into a recluse. He retreated to his California mansion, Bunnyham Palace, and refused to let anyone in through the gate. He would only go outside to tend to his plants (only some of which were narcotics) and his prized collection of carrots, although he did go outside once to molest 3 children.
