What's Up, Doc? was a children's program which aired on the Nine Network in Australia from 31 July 1993 until 24 December 1999. The program centred on the showing of Warner Bros. cartoons and programs with additional original elements. It followed on from The Bugs Bunny Show, a similar program hosted by Sophie Lee, which aired from 1990 until 1992.

The program originally aired Saturday mornings from 9:00am until 11:00am, before moving to weekdays at 4:30pm for half an hour beginning in 1995. The show was filmed in studio on the same styled set for the whole run of the show, starting at Nine's Richmond, Victoria studios, before moving to studios in Willoughby, New South Wales. The hosts also regularly visited Warner Bros Movie World on the Gold Coast, Queensland where a weeks worth of episodes were filmed at a time.

The final episode aired on Friday December 24, 1999. The show was originally announced to return in early 2000, however a new Warner Bros cartoon themed program titled The Cool Room debuted in its place.
