After 1975 Depatie-Freleng Enterprises seemed to run out of ideas, each time the short films had less meaning and took more surreal routes and plots, the fact that the animation faded more and more did not help, but after 1978 the series went downhill, with very bad shorts, boring, unfunny and entirely made for greed, Animation became more rudimentary and minimalist than it already was, and it doesn't help that Friz Freleng and David H Depatie were in Production, they couldn't do anything.
I hate Clip Shows, they were never a good way to keep a series alive, they just used to be Filler episodes in their Respective series, although there were some good ones in the past, Jerry's Diary and Smarty Cat are an example, and that's because They were not entirely based on being Clip shows, but they showed a plot while the Images were processed, but not here, they are simply Repetitions of good cartoons from the past.
The Plot could have led to Something Mildly Funny if handled well, White Man goes to the Psychologist and tries to take out his Traumas with the Panther, but The Pink Panther Itself was the one who was right there listening to the Therapy, maybe as another Critic said, if they had tricking the White Man into doing things that would supposedly help him would have been an easy way forward, but it wasn't, they show a lot of Stock Images with filters applied and Music Changed, this time really bad, with little enthusiasm and fun, even Walter Greene was a better composer, but continuing, Finally all this ends with the Panther Coming Out of a Box and that's it!, one of the most disappointing endings that this good series could have given us.
There is not much to say about it, maybe if the plot had been handled better and they had left the winged clip shows (Or even using some could have helped to progress the plot, but of course, without abusing them) it could have been better, really I don't recommend watching them unless you want to remember some Good Moments from the series (With Worst Music and Filters applied by the way).
