 "The Porky Pig Show" packaged classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons many of them starring that famous stuttering pig, Porky. Most of the cartoons shown were produced in the 1930s and 1940s, though more than a few from the early-to-mid 1950s surfaced. First aired as a Saturday morning network series, the show moved to syndication in 1971. The syndicated series often aired daily (and sometimes weekends too) in many markets as part of local television stations  child-friendly after-school programming blocks.
