    TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
    Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
    InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
    Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
    stones78 From what I read earlier, Misterjaw was on during 1976 and came under a syndicated version of the Pink Panther and Friends show. The shark was voiced by Arte Johnson, and that added credibility, and seems funnier than the Pink Panther himself, considering Misterjaw has a silly laugh track included. It's obvious that the film Jaws(1975)heavily influenced this cartoon, as well as many other things, as the opening and ending theme music is eerily similar to the film's score, which was performed by John Williams. In what I thought was a clever touch, the beginning of the cartoon usually had some person alone in the water, then we see a fin closing the gap, and then the shark would pop his head out of the water and yell "Gotcha!!!", to which the poor person(usually a man)would swim away scared for his life; soon after, the blue shark wearing a black hat would laugh hysterically, but not chase the man anymore, as he enjoyed scaring him only. The shark has a small green fish sidekick, who I believe is nameless except for a few nicknames, who follows Misterjaw around and basically agrees with everything he says or does. There's another frequent character called Fearless Freddy, a poor attempt at Quint from Jaws, who chases the shark around and tries to catch him, but never does. I don't think Misterjaw would've ever been created without Jaws, but since I'm a huge fan of the movie, I enjoy this entertaining cartoon on the rare occasion it's on some station.
    TheLittleSongbird I loved watching The Pink Panther Show as a child, and I still have a lot of nostalgia for it. The animation and stories are quite simple, but this simplicity works. The animation holds up surprisingly well, and the scenarios are funny without being corny and predictable. There is minimal dialogue, which is not a bad thing at all, as the visual gags are consistently hilarious. The theme tune is a classic, even if people haven't seen the show, they know the theme tune. The characters are great, there aren't many, but it is better like that. My favourites are Pink Panther, obviously and the bumbling Inspector Clousseau. Overall, delightful and one of my childhood favourites. 10/10 Bethany Cox
    Jackson Booth-Millard "He really is a groovy cat, he's a gentleman, a scholar, he's an acrobat. He is the "rinky dink" Pink Panther. Because of the success of the Pink Panther films starring Peter Sellers, and Alan Arkin once, they decided to turn the Pink Panther diamond into an actual character. They turned it from a diamond into an actual Pink Panther. Throughout the show he has many weird and wonderful cartoon adventures where there's usually the Clouseau looking guy inter-fearing or getting involved. Pink Panther smokes, drives cars, tries to cross busy roads, catches thieves, paints his house pink, and lots of other good animated episodes. There are also appearances of cartoon characters called Aardvark and Ant, and of course, a cartoon version of the Alan Arkin version of Inspector Clouseau. But it's the Pink Panther himself that's the most interesting part of this classic cartoon series. It was number 99 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Very good!
    CSGarfield The Pink Panther is such a great cartoon. You may know him for one special feature: silence. I thought it was brilliant that they made this cartoon almost never speak in this series (there are just two exceptions). Like the creators said, many more cartoons talked than moved, but the Pink Panther did nothing but move. That's what makes this cartoon so unique. Another good reason is that without talking, it's kind of peaceful in one way: no talking, no swearing. This is definitely a great show for anyone, both kids and adults, to watch, since it isn't one of those crude cartoons made nowadays, and is supposedly in a European-American style, which as some of the best types of animation that I know, not Japanese that's infused with violence and vulgarity and insidious artwork. But this is different, being more peaceful and even more funny than what with most of what you see nowadays, like Spongebob and Ed, Edd, Eddy (yes definitely). I did watch some of the videos and a DVD with excellent episodes (although some were a bit disappointing, preferably if someone had the last laugh against the Pink Panther, but most of the others are still very well done in writing and artwork). Still, if you can find it anywhere in good condition, I highest recommend it!
