At first, Jack couldn't say the word, panther, so he referred to the title character as, "the Pink One." There's also an unamed male character in many of the episodes who Jack refers to as "the White One," since he's colored white. I think Jack likes the show due to it's simplicity; there is little to no dialogue between characters in the episodes. While I suppose that's not the best for developmental purposes Jack nevertheless really enjoys it.

The half hour show sometimes features just Pink Panther episodes but sometimes they include episodes of The Inspector and The Ant and the Aardvark (part of the original series). The Inspector features a French police (okay, Sûreté ) detective who resembles Peter Sellars' Inspector Clouseau from the (original) Pink Panther movies and his inexplicably Spanish assistant. Jack doesn't hang so much with The Inspector. He's okay with The Ant and Aardvark though.

If Jack can't say my name I wonder if he will call me "the White One." Entirely possible.
He likely won't be able to say your name because he tends to be mesmerized by "pretty ladies."
And I suppose shouting "SAY MY NAME!" at a toddler is frowned upon? I don't know the rules with these things.
Jack has good taste!
My daughters, The Princess and the Sledgehammer, like the Pink Panther too. We bought five disks of the cartoon and I occasionally watch it with them in a vain attempt at deprogramming them from the Disney Channel.
Of course, the other one is Pinky and the Brain, which was night-time fare for The Princess when she was an infant. The Sledgehammer also took to PATB but not as much, ironically since she's definitely Daddy's Girl.
Dude! Great to hear from you! Jack needs a snazzy nickname like your girlz. "Master of Chaos" comes to mind currently. Also, "He Who Doesn't Put Away Toys" is in the running.
