Yeah-Yeah. I know that Duckman (with its grotesquely American, white-trash mentality) was "just-a-cartoon", but, regardless, this TV show absolutely scraped the bottom of the barrel when it came to laughs.This TV show's despicable title character named "Duckman" was nothing but a snivelling, callous, hateful, hypocritical, little bastard who was so full of scorn and contempt for everyone and everything that, before long, he became just an irritating bore.Believe me, Duckman does so much belly-aching and scenery chewing throughout every episode that, within minutes, he gives the viewer (who's in their right mind, of course) a serious case of chronic brain-freeze.Duckman was about 10x worse than being forced to have to watch an onslaught of irksome TV commercials for 30 solid minutes, non-stop.This was the type of brain-dead TV show that likes to fancy itself as being cool, hip and "with-it" - But I definitely viewed it as being quite the opposite.I can't believe that this reeking, rotting excuse for comic entertainment actually lasted for 4 seasons back in the mid-1990s.

I remember watching this program years ago, remember the episode where Duckman runs around yelling " you thrust your pelvis huhh!" does anyone know what the name of this episode was? thanks!

This was a well made show, one of the better prime time animated sitcoms I have seen. The voices were superb, and most of the jokes and parodies on target. The characters also grew and changed, rare for an animated sitcom. At the core of it all was Duckman coming to terms with his wife's death. The whole sequence of the crass, extremely horny and manic detective dealing with a loss of someone he obviously loved a lot was much more believable then you'd expect.

Oh...My...GOD!!! Is it humanly possible to make a television series greater than Duckman? The answer is simple: No, it is not. Why is this show so great? Well, let's see, the writing, the characters, the storylines, the social commentary, the animation... The list could go on and on. This show has been canceled for quite some time (since 1997) but re-runs currently show on Comedy central at some ungodly hour of the night/morning. It doesn't promise to stay there for very long, though. If you want to see this series, start recording it whenever you get the chance. I am currently lucky enough to have almost the entire series on tape. Be sure to pay special atention to the following episodes, which are the best DM has to offer:America the Beautiful- One of the most biting social commentaries ever shown on TV! It also has a VERY catchy song at the end of the show...The Once and Future Duck: The most popular DM episode.Pig Amok: Hilarity in it's purest form.Noir Gang: My fav episode.About Face: Some interesting bits of drama and character development.Role With it: Some more interesting bits of drama and character development.Bev Takes a Holiday: another fav of mine.LOVE! ANGER! KVETCHING!: See for Joe Walsh's special version of "Life's been Good" sung towards the end.Four Weddings Inconceivable: The final episode.I,Duckman: The first episode.Gripes of Wrath: A classic!Psyche: A rather subtle landmark episode that also happens to be excruciantingly funny.Joking the Chicken: See for Duckman's brilliant speech at the end.It's a Thing of the Principal: Funny!Cock Tales for Four: Why didn't this get an emmy!?The Girls of Route Canal: Hilarious spoof of "The Bridges of Madison County."Research and Destroy: Great spoof on the film Brazil and office/corporate life in general.Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.: Funny!Hamlet 2: Hilarious spoof on Hamlet.Exile in Guyville: Funny!Not so Easy Riders: Funny!Clip Job: Easily the best clip show ever produced! Very self-aware.The Amazing Collosal Duckman: Funny!From Brad to Worse: Funny!Bonfire of the Panties: Funny!A Room with a Bellevue: Another popular episode.
