Conrad Billings
In another example of a disturbing trend, the past has been cannibalized and bastardized from its original, clever incarnation into a pre-chewed, re-hashed, insulting parody designed to accommodate the lowest common denominator.I can only imagine that two factors led to this show being produced - 1) A desire for some quick bucks, and 2) the creator's lack of originality. Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese were geniuses. The cretins who write and animate this are pale imitators - "ants in the afterbirth" as it were.The humor lacks the spark that made the original Looney Tunes a joy to watch. Instead of being entertaining, this show is simply a sobering reminder that the best and brightest of our age are NOT working in television animation.

I was never much into the Looney Tunes bandwagon (more of a Hanna-Barbera fan actually) but when I first caught a glimpse of Duck Dodgers on the Boomerang Channel, that was it! I have been following it loyally ever since. The show is funny, very graphically-detailed and well put together. The relationship between Dodgers and his "eager space cadet" Porky kills me with laughter, as does his hi-jinx confrontations with his rival Marvin the Martian, all amid the "cold war/ us versus them" face-off between Earth and Mars. I love the ship designs , not to mention plots borrowed from other science-fiction movies and shows (i.e. the episode where the Martian Queen pursues Dodgers into a Nebula thus provoking a game of hide-and-seek a-la-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). I honestly cannot get enough of this show; for a cartoon, in my opinion, it is definitely up there with all sci-fi/comedy/actioners! Wonderfully thought out indeed.

I finally saw "Duck Dodgers" last night. As Chuck Jones and Mel Blanc (bless them) are no longer with us, I was prepared for a letdown, and I wasn't disappointed!In the original, Daffy was a bombastic nitwit, which was part of his charm; here, he's a loathsome prick! In the episode I saw, he demands help as he has Eager Young Space Cadet cleaning his house. Mr. Hi assigns him a robot. He likes the robot until he dispatches the bad guys better than Dodgers ever did, earning Mr. Hi's raves. Dodgers is now hell-bent on getting rid of him. When the robot sacrifices himself for him, Dodgers actually seems devastated -- until Mr. Hi says he can rebuild him. Dodgers throws a fit, stomping on the heap of metal that saved his life!I was so disgusted by what the no-talent clowns behind this "cartoon" did to Daffy and Porky, I'll never watch this "Duck Dodgers" again!

i love duck dodgers a lotthere is a good moment from last week's episode that i find funny when dodgers met the green lantern before he got back his uniform and what is even funnier .. he was not in his uniform he was just in his feathersnow that i've got that joke out of the way,dodgers should get more crew members for his ship to appear in season 2 [when that time comes] most of my suggestions for crew members would include; - bugs bunny [as a admiral] - pepe le pew [as a lieutenant] - lola bunny [as medical officer] - sylvester the cat [as engineer officer] and other looney toons characters - and the reason i'm making these crew character suggestions for season 2 is because that it's just only daff and porky i mean, daff should have improvements on that ship, to fit a bigger crew
i mean , let's face the facts , does dodgers not like being picked up no does he like having to eat disgusting parasites no does he like to see the cadet scared of various stuff no my point is, if you have more than one member on a ship there's a greater chance that dodgers will listen to not only the cadet but also the other members if it's just him and the cadet, then the cadet is pretty much is on his ownnow to end this comment with a duck dodgers version of a quote from shakespeare's hamlet"to quack or not to quack , that is the question"
