stones78 From what I read earlier, Misterjaw was on during 1976 and came under a syndicated version of the Pink Panther and Friends show. The shark was voiced by Arte Johnson, and that added credibility, and seems funnier than the Pink Panther himself, considering Misterjaw has a silly laugh track included. It's obvious that the film Jaws(1975)heavily influenced this cartoon, as well as many other things, as the opening and ending theme music is eerily similar to the film's score, which was performed by John Williams. In what I thought was a clever touch, the beginning of the cartoon usually had some person alone in the water, then we see a fin closing the gap, and then the shark would pop his head out of the water and yell "Gotcha!!!", to which the poor person(usually a man)would swim away scared for his life; soon after, the blue shark wearing a black hat would laugh hysterically, but not chase the man anymore, as he enjoyed scaring him only. The shark has a small green fish sidekick, who I believe is nameless except for a few nicknames, who follows Misterjaw around and basically agrees with everything he says or does. There's another frequent character called Fearless Freddy, a poor attempt at Quint from Jaws, who chases the shark around and tries to catch him, but never does. I don't think Misterjaw would've ever been created without Jaws, but since I'm a huge fan of the movie, I enjoy this entertaining cartoon on the rare occasion it's on some station.

TheLittleSongbird I loved watching The Pink Panther Show as a child, and I still have a lot of nostalgia for it. The animation and stories are quite simple, but this simplicity works. The animation holds up surprisingly well, and the scenarios are funny without being corny and predictable. There is minimal dialogue, which is not a bad thing at all, as the visual gags are consistently hilarious. The theme tune is a classic, even if people haven't seen the show, they know the theme tune. The characters are great, there aren't many, but it is better like that. My favourites are Pink Panther, obviously and the bumbling Inspector Clousseau. Overall, delightful and one of my childhood favourites. 10/10 Bethany Cox

vvjti 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

Jackson Booth-Millard "He really is a groovy cat, he's a gentleman, a scholar, he's an acrobat. He is the "rinky dink" Pink Panther. Because of the success of the Pink Panther films starring Peter Sellers, and Alan Arkin once, they decided to turn the Pink Panther diamond into an actual character. They turned it from a diamond into an actual Pink Panther. Throughout the show he has many weird and wonderful cartoon adventures where there's usually the Clouseau looking guy inter-fearing or getting involved. Pink Panther smokes, drives cars, tries to cross busy roads, catches thieves, paints his house pink, and lots of other good animated episodes. There are also appearances of cartoon characters called Aardvark and Ant, and of course, a cartoon version of the Alan Arkin version of Inspector Clouseau. But it's the Pink Panther himself that's the most interesting part of this classic cartoon series. It was number 99 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Very good!
