I love me some DuckTales! It aged quite nicely cuz it didn't dumb itself down for the kids!
I know! I was watching an episode not to long ago and it was just as funny as when I was younger and even more! It was just as witty and smartly written as it's ever been. It didn't feel like something that I watch just because I was little and it was targeted to kids. I just sitting there going "Man! This show really is funny!" You don't go haha1 this is for kids, you know?

Yes that's why there are kids shows even today that I don't mind watching, if they're written for both kids and adults. They're certainly much more amusing than Friends!

Loved Poo Corner, too!

I would say! There are a lot of things more amusing to me then Friends is, LOL!

Drtooth, do you mean Rawtoonage or how ever you spell it? Because I loved that show in addition to Bonkers.

I liked the Disney channel Bonkers series where he was partnered with a woman cop named Miranda. But when it started airing on regular TV, Bonkers was given a different partner. A family man detective named Lucky. And the show wasn't as good as the Disney channel series.

Wait, I remember that when Miranda came on the show Lucky was promoted and moved away. But lucky seemed to have shown up again later. But is wasn't as funny with her to me, because with a man their was a lot more physical humor where bonkers could really take advantage of driving Lucky crazy.

It almost seems like they wanted Bonkers to be more like Goof Troop where a funny guy like Bonkers drives a big guy like Lucky crazy. And Lucky's wife and daughter kind of remind me of Pete's wife and daughter.

Well, you know. Disney can be pretty formulaic quite often. I like how his last name was pickel or how ever you spell it.

Aw man! That sucks! I've done things like that even though I can't remember any examples at the minute. But yeah! Would love to be able to view bonkers episodes again. That was a show I never got tired of.
