Bugs Bunny and Friends is a Saturday morning cartoon anthology series that debuted on 2 January 2021 on MeTV. It currently airs every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Bugs Bunny and Friends is the third hour of MeTV's Saturday Morning Cartoons block; the first hour is Popeye and Pals, featuring Popeye and Betty Boop (the hour was formerly Popeye and Pink Panther's Party, which also included Pink Panther, The Inspector and Roland and Ratfink), while the second is The Tom and Jerry Show, featuring Tom & Jerry, Droopy, Barney Bear, and other MGM cartoons.
A total of six to seven cartoons are played on the block each week. The first, last, and often in-between cartoons on the block each star Bugs Bunny.
The opening title is the colorized intro to The Bugs Bunny Show.
Many of the Warner Bros. cartoons shown are restored in high quality. Those not restored usually air in either the Turner-dubbed versions or the LaserDisc versions.
The name of the block rarely changes, although it has happened for Christmas and Valentine's Day, both in 2022. The block's name changed to Live! Laugh! Bugs! for the Valentine's Day special and to A Very Merry Bugs Bunny Christmas for the Christmas special, the latter of which aired twice (once in November and again on Christmas Eve). The channel also played Christmas-themed cartoons in July 2022 for their Christmas in July special on the second Saturday of that month.
