The Plucky Duck show: one of the biggest swindles ever perpetrated on unsuspecting kids in the early 90s.

The Plucky Duck show--Ha!

This show was like a bad April fools joke. Upon hearing that Plucky Duck, my favorite character from Tiny Toon Adventures was getting his own show, I was thrilled. Imagine the possibilities, I told my then 12-year old self. But that anticipation amounted to one of the biggest disappointments in history as the show was composed of nothing more than PREVIOUSLY AIRED episodes from Tiny Toons Adventures starring Plucky. To my knowledge, only 1 or 2 of the 12 episodes on this show were made exclusively for The Plucky Duck show. This was one of the most missed opportunities I have ever seen. They could have flushed out Plucky's character more, introduced his family and/or other people from his past, and so on. Oh wait, they did do a show like this....with the Tasmanian Devil on "Tazmania", showing that a character can spin off on his own show and it can actually be funny. But this show was like a bad joke. All my young mind was thinking was this: "Shame on you, Fox Kids network! Do you actually think I am so stupid, I won't recognize episodes I had already seen countless times before on a new show and think it was a brand new episode?! " Please, I watched Tiny Toon Adventures religiously for years, I think I would recognize an episode I've seen before. Even the theme song was ripped off Tiny Toons, with the exact same tune and a really bad dubbing job. Well guess what: I didn't. Kids aren't as stupid as you think. Suffice it to say, this "show" was one of worst things I had ever seen. If you aren't going to take the time making a show, then don't even try.
