The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show is an American animated anthology television series that was mainly composed of theatrical Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros. between 1948 and 1969. Previously known as The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour, the name change came in November 1977 after CBS added another half-hour to the runtime. After briefly airing as 2 separate hour long programs on the CBS Saturday morning schedule in 1982, CBS returned the show to 90 minutes in 1983. The following year, a new title sequence (created from clips of the cartoons) and new theme song ("It's Cartoon Gold"), composed by Steve Zuckerman with lyrics by John Klawitter, introduced the show until CBS gave up the rights in 1985.
