Opening title sequence to The Road Runner Show.

The Road Runner Show was an animated anthology series which compiled theatrical Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, which were produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons between 1948 and 1966. The Road Runner Show ran for two seasons on CBS (1966–68), and then on ABC for two seasons (1971–73). There were only one Road Runner/Coyote cartoons during each episode, with another WB animated character(s) in the middle segment (usually Tweety and Sylvester) and the final segment ( which is randomized to be either Elmer Fudd, Speedy Gonzales, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, Sylvester, Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog, or any other bonus shorts).

CBS combined The Road Runner Show with The Bugs Bunny Show in 1968. The Road Runner and the Coyote more often shared at least an hour with Bugs Bunny on CBS during the late-1960s through the mid-1980s.

The theme song was written and performed by Barbara Cameron.
