Trivia
When Jason Alexander first signed up to play the title character, he thought he signed up for a one-off role. Because of this, he thought it would be fine to give Duckman a voice very different from his. While he loved doing the show, he reportedly came very close to damaging his voice; and because of this, he didn't reprise his role in the 1997 PC Adventure game.

Quotes
Duckman: Comedy should provoke! It should blast through prejudices, challenge preconceptions! Comedy should always leave you different than when it found you. Sure, humor can hurt, even alienate, but the risk is better than the alternative: a steady diet of innocuous, child-proof, flavorless mush! Demand to be challenged, to be offended, to be treated like thinking, reasoning adults. And raise your children to be the same. Don't let a comedian, a network, a Congressional committee, or an evil genius take away your freedom to laugh at whatever you want.

Alternate versions
Jack Riley recorded a camo appearance for the episode "Days of Whine and Neuroses" as his Bob Newhart character Elliot Karlin; USA ended up cutting the scene out for time restraints and it has never seen the light of day. A scene was cut from the episode "Aged Heat 2: Women in Heat," in which Duckman violently beats Grandma-Ma, believing her to be Agnes Delarooney, the bank-robbing imposter from season three. USA deemed the scene's content and subject matter "too graphic" for cable TV.

Best Underrated Animated Show Ever

I learned about this show from WatchMojo.com (Along with Clone High, Spawn, and The Critic) in their video Top 10 Underrated Cartoons, and I looked into it and ever since I saw I, Duckman (Episode 1) I would watch more of it on YouTube. I showed it to my Step-brother and Step-sister and they absolutely love it. Many people have never heard of it because shows like The Simpsons were always surpassing others with its wit and humour. Duckman needs some reruns on USA and Comedy Central for old times sake. Actually if I got to pick what shows and movies I would put on Netflix this would be one of them. Although the show was AMAZING, the ending should have been explained. It's not The Sopranos bad but it needs explaining. Other then than that since I couldn't produce any thing better than 10/10
