Piggsburg Pigs! is a Fox Kids animated comedy series from Ruby-Spears Productions, which aired in 1990.

On July 23, 2001, Piggsburg Pigs! and other properties of Saban Entertainment were sold to The Walt Disney Company.[1]

Plot

Located behind the world's largest pig farm, the city of Piggsburg is a swine-only habitat. Here, the Bacon Brothers: Bo, Portley, and Pighead fight the evil plans of the hungry, carnivorous Wolf brothers Huff and Puff, as well as the supernatural forces from the Forbidden Zone. Other pig buddies include Prissy, Dotty, Piggy, Pokey, and the snobby Rembrandt Proudpork. When not fighting off evil plots, the boys unwind at nearby Newpork Beach. Needless to say, Piggsburg Pigs! is a comedy, and pig puns are often the humor of choice.
