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. Shows from the second season only had on-screen titles. The shows were written and produced by Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, and directed by them except where noted.
In later years the show moved to Saturday mornings, first on ABC, later on CBS, and eventually on ABC. Warner Bros. used the linking segments to introduce different cartoons, with the original Bugs Bunny Show elements being co-opted in the process, so the original materials used for these programs are not generally found in WB's vaults.
