The Bugs Bunny Show is an animated television anthology series hosted by Bugs Bunny, that was mainly composed of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros. between August 1, 1948 and the end of 1969. The show originally debuted as a primetime half-hour program on ABC in 1960, featuring three theatrical Warner Bros. Cartoons with new linking sequences produced by the Warner Bros. Cartoons staff.After two seasons, The Bugs Bunny Show moved to Saturday mornings, where it remained in one format or another for nearly four decades. The show's title and length changed regularly over the years, as did the network: both ABC and CBS broadcast versions of The Bugs Bunny Show. In 2000, the series, by then known as The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show, was canceled after the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies libraries became the exclusive property of the Cartoon Network family of cable TV networks in the United States.
Bugs introduces many of his co-hosts individually: Pepe Le Pew, Yosemite Sam, Tweety, Sylvester and Speedy Gonzales. But Daffy Duck can't convince Bugs to introduce him as well, try as he might during the show.
Rocky and Mugsy try to grab up some of the money from the sponsors of the show by going into the television business themselves, intruding on the proceedings in the process.
The midget gangster Baby Faced Finster dresses up as a baby to escape the police. To his dismay, he ends up in the hands of Bugs Bunny, who treats him as a baby.
Wile E. Coyote's chase of the Road Runner has extended into the studio where Bugs is trying to host his television show. Two Road Runner cartoons are thus featured, involving Wile E.'s schemes.
Desperate to appear on the show as the guest, Daffy dresses as a Hawaiian, a musketeer, and a knight, but his costume is deemed inappropriate by Bugs for each cartoon about to commence.
In a musical competition between cartoon features of Bugs at war with an opera singer, Sylvester buffeted by tidal waves in his gastronomic quest for Tweety, and two mice conspiring to induce house cat insanity, Daffy plays the drums.
Daffy disguises himself as Bugs to host the television show, but a sheepdog, on a day free from his work, walks into the studio, hoping to catch the bunny-rabbit (Bugs) that he saw on television on the previous week.
Daffy wants to be host. So, he banishes all others from the stage, including Pepe, Elmer, and Bugs. Still, the cartoons proceed on schedule, with Bugs in Scotland, Porky and Sylvester in a spooky, mouse-infested house.
Tweety is host of an installment containing two psychological thrillers with birds seemingly doomed to death at a specified time. So that the little canary can be safe from Sylvester, Bugs hangs his cage from the stage ceiling.
Yosemite Sam wants Bugs' hide. So, gun in hand, he comes to see The Bugs Bunny Show live as a spectator in the studio.
Bugs introduces Porky Pig as host. Porky is pestered by Charlie Dog, who is looking for a master. Charlie does his all-breeds-in-one routine and complicates Porky's introduction.
George P. Dog is introduced by Bugs as the emcee for the show, but Foghorn Leghorn decides that he would be a better emcee and pushes the dog aside.
Sylvester is introduced by Bugs as host, and he is joined on stage by his son, Sylvester Jr., who is underwhelmed at Sylvester's all-too-brief introduction of him.
Elmer Fudd is host and tries to sing, but he is thwarted when the notes on his sheet music run off of their page and remind him of his July 4 picnic that became a harrowing confrontation.
Daffy finally receives recognition. Bugs hosts an all-Daffy Duck tribute, in which Mama Bear performs "I'm Just Wild About Daffy" and the mallard stars in cartoons as a far-future detective.
Foghorn Leghorn introduces Miss Prissy, who, Foghorn says, is an old-time actress.
An unseen animator sketches Foghorn Leghorn with Rock Hudson's body and then draws a broom's tail on Foghorn's backside. Foghorn retaliates by lassoing and pummeling the animator- Daffy Duck.
Two lame-brained Mexicali cats, Jose and Miguel, try to host an episode with Yosemite Sam plummeting again and again into a bucket of water, Ralph Wolf being continually stopped from obtaining mutton by the omnipresent Sam Sheepdog.
Bugs demonstrates how to draw an animated cartoon character. He decides to use Daffy Duck as an example and draws Daffy from a dumbbell.
Bugs tries to indulge the audience in a bit of culture, such as in his own rendition of the opera, "The Barber of Seville", in spite of constant interruptions from Elmer Fudd.
Mac and Tosh, the Goofy Gophers, are introduced by Bugs as the host. In the cartoons, Bugs orchestrates a square dance that very much pains two lame-brained men of the Ozark Mountains.
Sylvester is host and tells to his son, Junior, the Looney Tune-style fairy tales of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs- in which hero and villain roles are seemingly reversed.
Sylvester and son discuss mice, ranging from those from Mexico to those of the "giant" variety.
