Plot
Located behind the world's largest pig farm, the city of Piggsburg was a swine-only habitat. Here, the Bacon Brothers-Bo, Portley, and Pighead-fought the evil plans of the Wolf brothers Huff and Puff, as well as the supernatural forces from the Forbidden Zone. Other pig buddies included 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! was a comedy, and porcine puns were often the humor of choice.List of episodes
