The All New Pink Panther Show

Crazylegs Crane inserts himself between 2 Pink Panther adventures.

The All New Pink Panther Show (1978) is a American animated comedy series created by Chuck Tately and Bob Camp for ABC. Crazylegs Crane, voiced by Larry D. Mann, is a clumsy host who inserts himself between two Pink Panther adventures, turning each half hour of broadcast into a bundle of short cartoon vignettes. Each episode runs roughly seven minutes, so the format leans on quick physical gags, pratfalls and playful mischief rather than long story arcs. The single season of 48 episodes was produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and United Artists Television, and it carries the bright, cheerful look of late 1970s Saturday morning cartoons. Its tone is gentle, lightly absurd and warmly silly, designed for young children and easy family viewing. Fans of The Pink Panther Show, The Bugs Bunny Show and The Inspector will find the same brisk, harmless slapstick and friendly comic energy here, a bright, uncomplicated diversion for a quiet afternoon with the kids.

Audiences give the short animated series a mixed but generally pleasant reception, enjoying its classic Pink Panther humor.
