I'm not necessarily saying it was bad, I was simply saying that I think it paled in comparison to the work it was based on. It was a great show on its own merits, but when compared to Hirano's original work, it's hard to look at it favorably. And actually, from what I heard, they had never planned for it to go over 13 episodes. But I could be wrong.

Darkwing Duck DID have a future beyond what we received, evidence of this is very CLEAR in "The Steerminator" when they bring back Taurus Bulba. Plans were to make this the true final season of DW and have Bulba replace Negaduck as the head villain. They also had plans to bring back two other old villains.

Paddywhack, a skeletal ghoulish clown like villain who was voiced by the late (and great) Phil Hartman, and the FIRST Negaduck (the one composed entirely of energy). This also explains why the old Negaduck was killed in the "Negaverse" episode, to make way for all the new bad guy resurrections.

That's the thing; I had known that when Taura returned that they had a final confrontation genuinely prepared, which genuinely irritated me when we didn't get to see it. However, I hadn't known that Paddywhack and the original Negaduck were intended to return.

Sadly Darkwing, Tale Spin and all other classic disney toons were replaced with the nauseating likes of Doug, Recess, and Pepper Anne. No offense to anyone who likes those shows, I just feel replacing shows like Darkwing and Gummi bears with those is kind of an insult but that's just my personal view.

I agree half and half. While I miss those shows, I at least liked Recess. I can, however, give you Doug and Pepper Anne as being correct with your analysis. And Gummi Bears....wow, it's been years since I've watched that show. That brings back memories.
