The Adventures of The Pink Panther is an American animated television series that was based on the The Pink Panther franchise. Created by Friz Freleng, David H. DePatie and Blake Edwards, it was produced by MGM Television Animation and aired on Saturdays from October 14, 1997 until January 20, 2007 on GoAnimate Network in the United States. Reruns of the series began airing on Cartoon Network from 2008 to 2018.

The series follows the misadventures of The Pink Panther and his friends, set in the eponymous city of Anthroville. However, their normal lives there is occasionally interrupted by their own wacky and zany antics, and all this happens during their daily life.

Premise
The 1997 incarnation of The Pink Panther starred the legendary hip feline in series of brand new adventures, in which he dealt with different situations in a manner similar to the original Looney Tunes shorts, ranging from modern day situations such as working as a delivery boy to outlandish situations like living in caveman days. Unlike previous television series and almost the entire theatrical run, the series was produced with the Panther capable of speaking throughout the episodes, to allow more interaction with other characters. Voiced by Matt Frewer, he was given a humorous American accent in order to appeal to younger children, which was in sharp contrast to the sophisticated British accent supplied by impressionist Rich Little who voiced the Panther briefly in two 1965 cartoon shorts, Sink Pink and Pink Ice.

Alongside the Pink Panther, a number of his co-stars from the original theatrical shorts appear in the series, including: The Inspector, who the Panther assists in the guise of an American police officer; The Ant and the Aardvark, with John Byner reprising the role of both characters; Misterjaws, will have the reprising roles of both characters; Crazylegs Crane, who were redesigned for the series and reprising roles of both characters; Blue Racer, will have the reprising role who redesigned for this series; Mooch J. Mongoose and Sal Snake, who was designed to speak in the series, Jonathan Love and Kevin McDonald providing their voices; Roland and Rattfink, who were redesigned for this series; The Dogfather and his henchdogs Pugg and Louie, who were redesigned for this series; The Red Fox from the After the Fox movie, who were designed for this series; The Muscle Man from the 1968 cartoon ''Come On In! The Water's Pink; The Patient from the 1968 cartoon The Pink Pill; The Witch from the 1969 cartoon Pink-A-Rella''; and "The Little Man", who like the Panther, was also designed to speak in the series, with Wallace Shawn providing his voice. The series also featured new characters, including a sandwich owner gorilla manager named Bob Kong, a unlucky intelligent mongoose named Mooch J. Mongoose, a fast and happy-go-lucky snake named Sal Snake, a hungry purple stray cat named Zeke, and a Blue Canary named Carl and Yellow Rat.
