I loved Pirates of Dark Water. Is that on DVD?

Yes, I was just waiting and wanting someone else to mention it. Not to forget Darkwing Duck as well. Although, that's more for the kids that couldn't handle Batman, and instead found Darkwing Duck to be a much lighter Batman.

DW rocks Batman's universe. THat show was awesome
Many episodes did make it to VHS, but I've never seen a DVD.

I always thought Darkwing Duck was for people who  thought Aquaman was too complex.



;D

I tried to like Darkwing Duck, but the daughter was too annoying.

I always took Goslin (SP?) as a Penny (from Inspector gadget) type character except annoying and not too bright and Gizmo-Duck was a retarded Brain.

Darkwing encompasses the satire of many hero traditions

also, I'm sorry spriggan. They haven't made anything for you yet. Everyone assumes you can at least fathom either DW or Aquaman. For the man who can do neither... well, I guess you could always watch Teletubbies.

I don't know if Spriggan is to the Teletubbies level yet.

The satire of Darkwing Duck was kind of weak. He's sort of a banal version of the Tick.

I really don't think DW was trying to do the same thing as the Tick, frankly. They have totally different approaches to the genre.

I have to say I wasn't a fan of Darkwing Duck. But I *loved* Ducktales and Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers.

I miss the Tick to no small degree.

SPOOOON!

Darkwing Duck was great. I think it and Duck Tales were the two best.

But anyway, need more sci-fi. Need more sci-fi that doesn't have horror and sex in it.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I like horror. But not in visual mediums, for some reason.
