Well as with so many of the recycled cartoons out there I have mixed feelings about duck dodgers. The show had a lot of potential because its silly sci-fi and you can do anything with it. But then again as usual they tried to throw in a bunch or lame jokes and clichés. There are also a number of vague references to other shows and movies, which go over a lot of people's heads. The animation is a bit above the typical for a modern series and in an unusual twist the CG work does not look totally out of place.Over all I liked the series (Aside: and the Martian Queen) but it could have been made better in a few ways.
... View MoreDuck Dogers isn't the stink people make it out to be. Though it may steal jokes and ideas from other shows it also improves them! It usually has very interesting stories with good voice acting, which actually sound like the original characters! And occasionally has me rolling on my sides laughing at it's stupid jokes. Like the episode "The six wazillion dollar duck" with some nutty doctor who can't go without saying something totally hilarious every line he has! So give it a shot it's not a bad show one of the best new Donald duck shows! Give it a watch, you might find it brings back memories of the old WB cartoons, with a new style comic twist!
... View MoreOkay, 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.

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.
