The 1967 Pink Panther cartoon PINK OUTS, a quasi-surreal entry in the series written by Art Leonardi and directed by Gerry Chiniquy, contained twelve unrelated “blackout” gags (or, in this case, “pink-out” gags) featuring the panther. The Pink Panther Show, first premiering on NBC on September 6th, 1969, repurposed and reedited the original theatrical PINK OUTS, mining it for kid-friendly “interstitials” or “bumpers” to be placed between cartoons, or before and after commercial breaks. New elements were added, including new music by DOUG GOODWIN and kid-friendly voice-overs performed by character actor MARVIN MILLER.
