Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

zsofikam Darkwing Duck, or "Dorkwing Duck" as I used to call it, I consider to be one of the greatest animated shows ever, along with Little Bear, PB&J Otter, Rugrats, Talespin, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Animaniacs, Ren And Stimpy, Pinky And The Brain, DuckTales, Moo Mesa, and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. For one thing, have I mentioned that the theme song is one of the catchiest theme songs along with the theme songs for Moo Mesa, Pinky And The Brain, DuckTales, CatDog, Sagwa, Maisy, PB&J Otter, and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh? Darkwing is very funny, as is Launchpad. Plus, Goslyn reminds me of myself when I was young. But what really makes the series if you ask me are the villains, some of my favourites being Bushroot, Dr Fossil, Phineas Sharp, Ammonia Pine, Megavolt, Splatter Phoenix, and Taurus Bulba. Negaduck, Liquidator, Quackerjack, Steelbeak, Isis Vanderchill, Tuskernini, Moliarty, and Camille Leon are also enjoyable. The only villain that I have never particularly cared for is Jambalaya Jake, he's just a little bolshy for my taste. Anything else? You bet there is! I simply love the lullaby for Goslyn in the first episode Darkly Dawns the Duck, it's just so soothing. Plus, I simply can't help but feel bad for Bushroot, he was so badly teased by his coworkers and had his budget cut for no reason other than that he loved plants and his coworker Rhoda Dendron so much. Same goes for Dr Fossil. I should mention a couple of things that I have always wondered: (1) Before Bushroot became a plant-duck it was pretty easy to tell that he was balding but after his mutation he suddenly gains a head full of purple hair. (2) Since we get to see Bushroot pre-mutation, what did Dr Fossil look like as a duck before his transformation? I'm willing to bet that he was very old judging by his appearance. Turning himself into a dinosaur could have rejuvenated him somehow and been an attempt to get back at his coworkers for viewing him and his dinosaurs as purely a thing of the past. Anyway, another thing I admire is many of the character designs. For example, Bushroot resembles a thistle with his purple "hair" and prior to his mutation when he was Dr Reginald Bushroot, he was much shorter than everyone else and balding. Other examples of brilliant design include Gosalyn resembling my childhood self not only in personality but in appearance as well, as well as Honker's resemblance to Chuckie from Rugrats, as well as reminding me of my childhood friend Sean. Finally, I love the witty dialogue such as "being the world's only mutant plant-duck is a lonely job."

BornAgain07 I loved this show from the very first episode. Darkwing Duck makes an excellent and very realistic hero, one that makes blunders and mistakes, but always does his best to overcome them. He's devoted to his chosen position as St.Canard's protector, and he has a very normal weakness: his ego. His adopted daughter Gosalyn is spunky, but sweet. She's always adding spice, humor, and unique twists to the show. I can't forget Launchpad, DW's ignorant, but devoted sidekick. Without him, Darkwing might not have been so lucky in his cases. Or maybe not... Anyway, if any of these characters were missing, the show would have been can-celled long before.

andriy-tanatar I have to say that, in my opinion, this show is the best superhero parody ever made. It is funny and satiric without being grotesque, Darkwing Duck makes mistake, but not incompetent, and the characters are quirky without being outright oddballs.The hero, Darkwing Duck, is an average superhero - in a sense that from time to time he might be slow or incompetent, but it is hard to question his adequacy for a position. The villains, well, make fun of ordinary villains - but they still do look like villains and act logically. Yes, there are spin-offs to the plots - but they are never absurd. Moderation is the key, I guess.The series are really well animated. They still hold the charm of *that* Disney animation that somehow vanished in late 90es. Although they still have a significant number of cultural references from early 90es, in most part humor is contemporary. Completely child safe.I adored the series as a teenager and I just have to recommend it to everyone else. It is still possible to find them at the after-market (probably, bootleg), and it's a pity Disney won't release them on DVD. 8/10.

Jane Murdoch (janey_smile) I loved this show as a kid, and along with 'Animaniacs', it is the only one that I have been able to go back to and re-watch with genuine delight. A spin off/ follow up to 'Ducktales', Darkwing Duck follows the adventures of a Batman-esk crime fighter, his sidekick, Launchpad (of 'Ducktales' fame), and adopted daughter Gosalyn. With their help, Darkwing battles crime in the city of St Canard, striking fear into the hearts of villains (he hopes) as 'the terror that flaps in the night'. It is a lot darker than Ducktales, however, and plays like its writers were following the Ducktales audience and evolving as they got older. In season three especially, there were some very dark story lines for a Disney cartoon, and more than one episode was banned after its initial airing!As the cartoon was largely based on Batman, so too are many of the villains based on comic book characters (The Liquidator= Hydroman, etc) and so this cartoon is enjoyable on even more levels if you are a comic fan. Though you don't have to be. The cast was amazing, with Jim Cummings heading it up as the voice of Darkwing Duck/ Drake Mallard. His fantastically over the top delivery of Darkwing's catchphrase "I am the terror that flaps in the night!" has gone down in cartoon history. He was given great support by Terence McGovern and Christine Cavanaugh as Launchpad and Gosalyn, and the supporting cast of villains included the likes of Tim Curry and Dan Castellaneta (from 'The Simpsons'). The characters they created were interesting and memorable. This show was cancelled after just 91 episodes: it could have gone on so much further! A DVD release is definitely in order here!!If you missed it first time round (where were you?), then I would definitely advise you to look it up, and if you didn't miss it last time, then why haven't you looked it up already?!One of the best TV toons Disney has ever created! Why is nothing they do now this good?
