Duck Dodgers

...is Chuck Jones spinning in his grave. "Duck Dodgers" is proof that animation is a dying art. In his book "Chick Amuck", Jones said that animation is primarily a visual art. A cartoon is true animation if you can turn off the sound and still understand the whole thing. If you need the sound to understand what's going on, it's illustrated radio. "Duck Dodgers" is illustrated radio of the worst sort. The character was never intended to be sustained over more than one cartoon, and even Jones' own reprise, 1980's "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century" fell flat. Unfortunately, Cartoon Network has seen fit to remove one of the two Sunday evening showings of the exemplary "Toon Heads" to inflict a rerun of this turkey. I suggest they keep it confined to its first-run slot on late Friday night, the later the better, or, better yet, consign it to the dustbin of failure.

If you are a fan of Warner Brother cartoons, such as Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Yosemite, Foghorn, and many others, then you will love this series. I couldn't disagree more with the moron who posted the review that slammed this series. My son and I religiously watched each episode as they premiered week to week on Cartoon Network. We couldn't wait to see the next one. We laughed so hard we fell off the couch. The one that mocked "Iron Giant" was one of our favorites (I go... you stay... no following). Not since "Samurai Jack" has a writing team given us so much to laugh about in one series. When it suddenly came to a halt, we stopped watching Cartoon Network. The more recent shows don't even come close to the level of this wonderful series. I feel sorry for the cynical reviewer who sounded so high and mighty about animation. This isn't animation. These are cartoons. They make you laugh. We love Bugs Bunny. We love Elmer Fudd. We especially love Daffy Duck. May you long live to make us laugh because.... you're despicable! (spoken with a lisp)

Okay, a few people have trashed this series, and a few others like it. I would head more towards the like side, I don't think it's the best show ever, but it's nice. Daffy, as usual, is the typical clueless, egotistical loveable moron who needs his sidekick(Porky)'s help in most cases. These try to add a science fiction-esque twist to the Looney Tunes characters. While I agree that the series is not as good as the original 50's short, I don't think the series is trying to take its place, and I think the creators know this. To try and take the place of Chuck Jones's original masterpiece would probably be impossible, and I believe that when this show was created the writers knew this, which is why it is quite different from the the original, and even its lackluster sequel. Still, it's way better than Powerpuff Girls(gag me).

BOTTOM LINE: Although I won't be frantically searching this show out, it is a nice way to kill half an hour if I happen upon it.

This show is a hilarious twist on the classic Marvin the Martian universe, featuring none other than Daffy Duck as the bumbling space hero, Duck Dodgers! The animation is super vibrant, blending a retro feel with a modern twist, which really captures the essence of the Looney Tunes charm. Daffy's over-the-top antics as he tries to prove himself as a top-notch space hero, while often failing spectacularly, makes for some seriously funny episodes. Plus, the dynamic with Porky Pig, who plays his loyal sidekick, is just gold. Their comedic timing really makes the show shine! The plots are kooky and imaginative, taking Daffy and his crew through wacky space adventures, battling enemies like Marvin the Martian and even encountering bizarre aliens along the way. It's like a mash-up of classic cartoon humor with sci-fi themes, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. What I really appreciate is that each episode is filled with clever jokes and pop culture references, so there's always something to chuckle about. And let's not forget about the memorable theme song, it's one of those tunes that sticks in your head all day!

Hello it me regularshow1 and today I'm going to do a review on a great show that I started watching in 2007 on boomerang its called Duck Dodgers. I liked that this show it has a lot of adult jokes like the episode Talent Show a Go-Go which Dodgers(A.K.A)Daffy steals Tom Jones voice and I didn't even know who he was until I watched this episode in 2009. Also I just found out that Dave Mustaine of the band Heavy Metal band Megadeth guest star in the episode In space no one can hear you rock and I really like that episode as well and I don't even like Heavy Metal Music. Anyway I like really liked this show was very funny. All right guys this Regularshow1 saying have a nice day. See you later. 10/10
