About the Show
The show is all about two pigs named Pinky and Perky. They run their very own children's TV show, also called "The Pinky and Perky Show." In each episode, they face different funny situations. This could be anything from helping a music band get back together to trying to win the most stickers or even searching for lost treasure!
Pinky is the kind and friendly pig. He's also the animator behind a cartoon called "The Adventures of Power Pig and Porker." His brother, Perky, is a bit more spoiled and sometimes doesn't appreciate things as much. Their different personalities often lead to hilarious adventures!
Where the Show Happens
Unlike the older puppet show, this version of "The Pinky and Perky Show" takes place in a world filled with animal characters who act like people. The main setting for all the episodes is the PPCTV Studio, where Pinky and Perky's show is filmed.
