DuckTales

Basically, Donald Duck decides to join the Navy and leaves his nephews; Huey, Dewey and Louie, in the care of Scrooge McDuck (#2 on Fortune's Top 15 Fictional Characters of 2008). Basically the Beagle Boys (as in the dog breed) run around and try to scheme new ways to rob Scrooge of his money, while Magica DeSpell just tries to take Scrooge's "Number One Dime" (as in a $.10 piece of currency). Throw in Gyro and Launchpad with some other fools and you've got a pretty lame ass show that I used to love as a kid. I do give strong points for the theme song. However, I just found out the show was intended to be an allegory about the fall of communism. That doesn't make it any better, but remember, kids, Disney was right and the Russians lost. Rumor is he was a huge supporter of Reagan and supply side economics, and that's all hearsay, but I don't doubt it.

RATING: 41%

Looking back, I'm at a loss as to why I liked this show.

I guess Gizmo-duck was cool, in a total ripoff of Iron Man kind of way.

Launchpad was cool. In Czech, his name was translated as Rampa, which re-translates as "ramp." I guess that's how they launched planes during the doomed communist regime.

Also, the video game for the NES was sweet.
