Mighty Mouse had little theatrical impact, but became Terrytoons' most popular character and a cultural icon on television. In 1955, Paul Terry sold the Terrytoons studio to [[CBS]], which repackaged the theatrical cartoons as a popular Saturday morning show, ''Mighty Mouse Playhouse''. The show aired from December 1955<ref>{{cite book|last=Rodriguez|first=Robert|title=The 1950s' most wanted the top 10 book of rock & roll rebels, Cold War crises, and all-American oddities|year=2006|publisher=Potomac Books|location=Washington, D.C.|isbn=978-1-61234-030-2|url=https://archive.org/details/1950smostwantedt0000rodr|url-access=registration|quote=mighty mouse.|edition=1st|access-date=May 14, 2012|page=[https://archive.org/details/1950smostwantedt0000rodr/page/219 219]}}</ref> through September 1967, using the existing film library. Only three new cartoons were produced after the sale. The final season also included a new feature, entitled ''[[The Mighty Heroes]].''

Tom Morrison of Terrytoons provided the speaking voice of Mighty Mouse in the show's new framing sequences.

The show's theme song was credited on some early [[Gramophone record|records]] to "The Terrytooners, [[Mitch Miller]] and Orchestra". However, writer [[Mark Evanier]] credits a group called The Sandpipers (not the [[The Sandpipers|1960s easy listening group of the same name]]).<ref>{{cite web|last=Evanier|first=Mark|title=Sandpiper Stuff|url=http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2004_01_18.html#007948|work=News from Me (Archive)|access-date=March 9, 2013|date=January 18, 2004|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524043713/http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2004_01_18.html#007948|archive-date=May 24, 2013}}</ref>
