Incorrectly regarded as the first time the long-running character (first seen in the opening credits of the Clouseau film The Pink Panther (1963)) is given a voice. The Pink Panther actually first spoke in two theatrical shorts 28 years before this series: first in Sink Pink (1965) and later in Pink Ice (1965).
Uniqueness
A controversial move was made in this series to give the normally silent Pink Panther a voice.
