Production Notes
The musical score for Extinct Pink is composed of the jazz compositions used in The Ant and the Aardvark series.
After the completion of Extinct Pink, production on new Pink Panther shorts went on hiatus for approximately two years. When the theatrical Pink Panther shorts found a new home on NBC-TV on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show in 1969, David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng opted to focus on other series for the successful television show. New series like Tijuana Toads, The Ant and the Aardvark and Roland and Rattfink began production at this time. Extinct Pink was re-released in 1978 with the feature film Revenge of the Pink Panther.
The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV in the U.S. When MGM released all 124 Pink Panther cartoons on DVD in 2006, the theatrical versions were, for the most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Extinct Pink being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
Married to immortal verse,
Such as the meeting soul may pierce
In notes with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetness long drawn out,
With wanton heed and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running,
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
