I've considered picking up the old set a dozen times, but never pulled the trigger. Watching some of the shorts online, they can be amusing, but not sure it's something I need to own.
The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection Vol. 1 (1964-1966)
• 20 shorts in chronological order - All with original audio (no laugh tracks) and all received additional DRS and dirt removal
• Audio commentaries for selected films, by author Mark Arnold, historian Jerry Beck, filmmaker Greg Ford, cartoon writer William Hohauser, music scholar Will Friedwald, and veteran DePatie-Freleng story-man Bob Kartz - Interspersed throughout find archival sound-bites from animation pioneer and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises co-founder, Friz Freleng himself.

Frankly, the best Panther cartoons should mostly included within that first 20, so this first volume might be all you really need. I bought the complete set for a great price, but after watching the whole thing I realized that virtually all of the best ones -- the "classics" per se -- were on the first two discs, so I sold the big set and just bought the 2-disc Vol. 1 DVD collection ("Pranks in the Pink"). The only concern I have is that set has 27 cartoons, while this Blu-Ray has only 20, so guess I'll have to see if #'s 21-27 were particularly memorable.
