Darkwing Duck and DuckTales actually took place in the same Universe. There are crossover episodes between these two.

Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was my Disney Afternoon growing up. Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog and Ed, Edd n Eddy was such a perfect line up. Though I could care less If I missed an episode of Cow and Chicken, Mike Lu and Og or Robot Jones

Why doesn't anyone mention "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh"? The show is great with it's characters and the situations they are in, the voice acting espically the original voice of "Tigger" Paul Winchell. There is also plenty of episodes to make you feel good like "Donkey for a Day" or "How Much is The Rabbit in the Window".

These are better than actual Nostalgia Critic episodes.

"Who would fuck Goofy?" Doug Walker, ruining your childhood since 2007

TODAY ON THE DISNEY AFTERNOON! Rescue Rangers: Dale Falls Into This Trap And Chip Has To Save Him! Ducktales: They Find A Lost City Of Gold! Goof Troop: Max Has To Take A Test!

I love how the first 54 seconds is karaoke.

As a guy who grew up in China until 11, gotta say those shows were equally nostalgic, they literally were a window for Chinese kids in the 90s to peek into American culture.

There was an episode of Darkwing where he went to the real world, where the writer of the real world show, DWD. He's used some device to tune into DW's universe frequency. At the end of the episode, the frequency gets screwed up and the writer tunes into the Rescue Rangers verse. So yeah, they take place in different universes.

Like with Duck Tales, I'd like to one day see Doug do a full on review of Darkwing Duck. That was always and is still my favorite Disney show as a kid. Ducktales has a full review of how great it is, which it is, but Darkwing Duck only got a little more than a few minutes. It deserves a full review because it has very interesting and detailed characters and also Darkwing Duck is very much still and always will be the Terror that Flaps in the Night.

I really loved seeing you guys talk about the cartoon eras you've lived through since they were the same I lived through. I really hate people not appreciating the amazing animation of today so its wonderful to hear people in my age group getting it.

Nostalgia Critic should do a WTR of Loonatics Unleashed. Or a review. Either or is fine.

as much as I liked Disney Afternoon, I just liked One Saturday Morning better, and i'm not talking about Kim Possible or Proud Family, because those weren't Saturday Morning, those were ABC Kids, totally different!. I'm talking about your Weekenders, Lloyd in Space, Fillmore!, and Freaking Recess!!!

I actually never watched the Disney Afternoon since I was too young to ever see it (I was born in 94), but the first half of those shows (Gummi Bears, Tale Spin, Ducktails etc) were always on Toon Disney. I did think these were new shows and something I had never seen before until I was about 7 and was taught that at the beginning of books and end of TV shows there are copyright years of when it came out and was shocked to see the year on them.

DuckTales is so timeless that it's being REVIVED TO AIR ON DISNEY XD IN 2017!

I could see Gummi Bears, Gargoyles, and the Fluppy Dogs TV special all taking place in the same universe. (I don't think that was the intention, but hear me out...) Fluppy Dogs villain Wagstaff could be a descendant of Igthorn, (they have the same voice). Wagstaff is a wealthy man who collects mythical creatures - perhaps he was who inspired Xanatos to acquire the Gargoyles? :)

My favorite Cartoon Network line up was Ed, Edd n Eddy, Camp Lazlo, Billy and Mandy, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

35:37 "Would you chip that?" I don't think I've laughed so hard for so long in a long, long time.

Cartoon Network was my life as a kid in the 2000's ! They had sooooo many good shows airing at that time !

I really like this video because my uncle was actually a writer for Darkwing Duck

The third Aladdin movie is actually pretty good. I think if they had given it more budget and better animation it would've been one of the more loved Disney sequels.

Tail Spin I never cared for, because I didn't like any of the characters. But Darkwing Duck... man... the most amazing series from Disney. Everything is great about it.

Top 5 Disney Afternoon shows 5: Ducktales 4: Darkwing Duck 3: Gargoyles 2: Aladdin 1: Timon and Pumbaa

On TaleSpin taking place in the 1930s, the Wikipedia article puts it well: "The time frame of the series is never specifically addressed, but appears to be in the mid-to-late 1930s. The helicopter, television and jet engine are experimental devices, and most architecture is reminiscent of the Art Deco style of that period. In one episode, Baloo comments that 'The Great War ended 20 years ago,'[15] suggesting that the series specifically takes place in 1938. Radio is the primary mass medium, and one episode even briefly alludes to the characters having never heard of television.[16]"

I froze the video at 0:27 just as Rob spreads his arms out. It's great seeing both of you so happy. You must have really enjoyed putting together the Disney Afternoon retrospective.

The Disney Afternoon made everyday feel like a Saturday morning. I remember running home from school to watch my favorite shows. Ducktales,Rescue Rangers,Darkwing Duck and Talespin will always be great shows.

My personal rating of each of the major Disney animated series from 1985 to 1997: Gummi Bears - 8/10 DuckTales - 9/10 The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh - 8/10 Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers - 8/10 TaleSpin - 8/10 Darkwing Duck - 9.5/10 Goof Troop - 7/10 Bonkers - 5/10 Aladdin - 6/10 Gargoyles - 9.5/10 Shnookums and Meat - 4/10 Timon and Pumbaa - 7/10 Quack Pack - 6/10 Mighty Ducks - 4/10 Disney's Doug - 3/10 Jungle Cubs - 5/10 101 Dalmatians: The Series - 1/10

The ending is hilarious.

Disney Afternoon is one of my favorite reviews.

30:52 - Oh Christ, that reminds me of where I was when 9/11 happened. I was just in my room watching Disney's Tarzan the Animated Series on a local channel in the morning.

For me, my all time favourite disney afternoon show is Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. Absolutely loved thst show.

I died at "Would you chip that?" Also I love 37:13 Rob's "I would" face.

Dat intro, thou YOU!

Disney Afternoon - Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Chip N Dale, Gargoyles Fox Kids- Spider Man, Power Ranger, Digimon WB 20 - Animaniacs Batman/Superman, Pokemon, static shock other mentionables - Transformers, TMNT, Looney Tunes THAT was my childhood!!!! And it was glorious!!!

I think Gummi Bears is the most timeless one of them. It's also one of the best.

The third Aladdin film is actually pretty good. Yeah Genie gets a bit annoying but it focuses on Aladdins (SPOILERS) relationship with his estranged father, the songs are great and the animation is much more decent than the second one. Not as good as the first but still quite good as far as direct to video Disney sequels go.

Gargoyles. Best Disney television show ever, and don't get me wrong, I LOVED Kim possible and such. Gargoyles had EVERYTHING. Action, romance, drama, fantasy, modern. If they never make a live action movie of it, I will never forgive Disney.

The Goofy Movie is much better than Goof Troop ever was. Ditch the suburbs for a road trip movie with some really solid father/son dynamic. Plus some ridiculously catchy songs...

Doug is such a child, he has never grown up, he is a real life peter pan.

I loved Bonkers!! I typically like the stuff Doug and Rob were just a little too old to be into. Just when they were growing out of something or too old for something new coming along I was just getting into it. Either way I share a LOT of their nostolgia because we are still close enough in age remember the same stuff.

I hope Doug and Rob never stop doing these lengthy, podcast-y videos of them just talking. I could seriously listen to them all day.

I would watch some of the "Disney Afternoon" shows once in a while, but I was definitely more of a PBS kid growing up. "Reading Rainbow", "Arthur", "The Magic School Bus", "Kratts' Creatures", "Bill Nye the Science Guy", those were my shows. But I do remember enjoying "Tailspin", "Darkwing Duck", and "Rescue Rangers".

I enjoyed Goof Troop because it was different and was more like a sitcom. It had good fun characters and was enjoyable to watch cause it wasn't anything grand.

Holy Shit balls...I remember when they interrupted DuckTales to announce the invasion of Iraq. Weird memory. I can remember that period of my life, but when I walk into the kitchen...poof...have no idea why I'm there :)

The Disney Afternoon video was my favorite of 2014. The most an NC video has made me laugh in years. :)

Since you've done the Disney Afternoon, how about doing the Nicktoons you've reviewed (and all the other Nickelodeon Month subjects)?

Goof Troop was not the first time they decided to place Goofy in a suburban setting. I remember the shorts from the 1950's in which he was renamed George Geef, and sometimes he even had a son who was simply called Jr.. Those shorts were really fun to watch because they were a little edgier. George Geef was considerably smarter than regular Goofy, he could also be Grumpy and occasionally even psychotic. Maybe Goof Troop would've been a little more memorable if they had implemented some of George Geef's characteristics into Goofy. It would've made him a more 3-dimensional character. Just imagine Goofy as a divorced father, getting drunk and getting into fights with Pete. It would also have made it easier to accept the idea of Goofy having had sex at one point in his life. I don't now, maybe this would've been too risky for Disney.

This is yet another reason why TV shows need theme songs to come back. Seriously. Also, I have the Rescue Rangers and Ducktales extended themes on my MP3 Player.

The librarian in the second Goofy movie was pretty awesome. Don't underestimate Goofy!

OMG I love this video! Great talk! I love that you guys started talking about how ya'll would "Chip" Gadget because I was recently was talking to my friends about how there are anthropomorphic characters who are attractive and we brought up Gadget. Lol XD right on time.

The Disney afternoon review is one of my favorite reviews so this was a nice surprise in my sub box. Patiently waiting on the Steven Universe Vlogs lol

I'd love for you guys to do a real thoughts on Demo Reel. Just some insight into the thought process behind it, how you thought it would have progressed, your reaction to how it failed, and your decision to bring back the nostalgia critic just sounds really interesting.

I really don't think it matters what age you are. If your adult and still enjoy animation I don't see anything wrong with that. Hell, I'm 2 1 and I've just gotten really into Anime recently because of the Internet. Most Anime shows that were on when I was a kid I never thought looked all that impressive (i.e Pokemon, Yui-Gi Oh). Though I really did like Digemon as a kid.

Oh God, now I want oatmeal pies!

I am a little surprised nobody from the American branch of Disney/SquareEnix has gone to Nomura and asked him to put Disney Afternoon series in Kingdom Hearts. They lend themselves to adventure games very well.

dude, you need to do to the early 90's PBS kids afternoon lineup what you did with Disney Afternoon. why? well because not everyone had the Disney channel in the early 90's I live in Canada and we didn't get Family Channel til 1997 after Disney Afternoon wrapped. and now this fall Disney Channel is finally coming to Canada (it's about 15 years too late) my point is that the PBS kids after school lineup in the 90's kind of peaked around 98 (deep down I want to see you destroy Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego, because well that's what I would have done if I did something like that.)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Attack on titan

"Who would fuck Goofy?" You guys are finally askin' the real questions.

I definitely remember seeing DuckTales and Chip & Dale on Toon Disney back in the 2000's But a vast majority of my childhood TV time was on Cartoon Network during the CN City era, that time was magnificent and I don't remember any other TV station for kids doing anything similar that what Cartoon Network did during that time

interestingly goofy was always the most emotional character for me or at least goofy with max not so much earlier goofy but there is something about sad goofy that always made me emotional. I don't know that might just be me. BTW what comes to mind is the goofy and max Christmas movie that I can't remember the name of.

They are the Gummi BEARS!

I loved your review of this!

Gadget was probably my first cartoon crush. Peg Pete's way hotter though.

Pretty much agree with what you guys said here and in the review, which is probably my favorite review you've done so far. It really took me back to my days as a kid, growing up, looking forward to getting out of school, when summer seemed like it never ended, and of course the days before all of this adult crap we have to deal with. There was a timelessness of Gargoyles, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, and Tale Spin, you could put any of those shows on tv now and they would fit right in.

Do real thoughts on Star Wars holiday special.

I'd like to hear their real thoughts on Sailor Moon, mostly for Rob's perspective on it since he's the anime fan.

Good job on the backup vocals there, Rob.

I liked this, partly because of the Ducktales, (Woo-ooh), and Darkwing Duck mentionings but also that part at the end. "Gadget. Yea or nay?" ... "I wouldn't Chip that but I would Dale that." and that whole section. XD

I seem to recall a satirical news segment with some guy named Steve Mackerel (sp?) that ran during the very end of the whole block. Was that part of the Disney Afternoon, or was that something else? I could have sworn it was part of it. I vaguely recall news segments being about Disney characters, but I could be wrong. Edit: also, Sexy Gadget...yea.

I miss Toon Disney and Jetix QQ RIP W.I.T.C.H, Oban star racers, and my favorite YING YANG YO!

Actually I read that Teenage Turtles started off as a one-shot parody comic. The creators had no idea it would become what it is now.

I think they should take a look at the Disney DTV sequels. They have a lot of potential either for praise or bashing, and rightfully so. They're what epitomized and cemented Disney being a milking sequel machine, IMO. A statement which I feel is unfair at times because those DTV sequels were technically made by a different division of the company and not their head animation studio.

Wish they mentioned more of their real thoughts on Bonkers and Shnookums and Meat .

I was amazed at the reference in Darkwing to Chip N Dale, as a kid

i love these dorks

I forgot about Quack Pack. Thanks for bring up that nightmare

BTW Doug and Rob, Robot Chicken did a hilarious sketch about Gadget. It's a good one.

Funny as it is, Tailspin, Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Ducktales and Darkwing Duck are all in the same universe. this was confirmed in the amazing "Legend of the Chaos God" five parter from the Disney Adventures magazine, where all five casts had to deal with an anceint god of chaos names Solego. It was an awesome little story, and it even took in place the fact that Tailspin takes place between the two World Wars while the other shows are roughly present day for the time these shows were on.

I love Mighty Ducks! It's definitely not a deep show, but it was fun to watch because it was an anthropomorphic superhero show. Disney may have been on too much of duck kick, but hey, animal superheroes have always been fun. Although, one crazy thing I've realized is that one of the writers, David Wise, recycled two scripts from Transformers for two episodes of 1987's Tmnt and MIghty Ducks. What the heck.

If Bob Dylan sang the intro to the Disney Afternoon

A really excellent video.

Would love to see a "Real Thoughts" on the new DuckTales. :)

I'm about 6 years younger than Doug but I grew up on a lot of the same shows (sometimes due to reruns) and then also the next generation as they came out. I can't remember very well but I don't remember a similar afternoon block that we had. We did have a pair of competing morning cartoon programs but they didn't do Disney or Warner Brothers. Ihink I watched all these shows "Disney Afternoons" on Saturday Disney. Cable never really took off here in Australia so this was talking free to air. We also had a few of our own shows and all the old British kids programming. I had a point but I'll have to come back and add that later...

Wow i was just watching real thoughts and this video came up in my sub box :D

There's a comic book that sets Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Talespin and Rescue Rangers in the same universe. Although to be honest such a thing is far-fecthed in the case of RR as Rob points out, there are humans in that universe.

For some reason, their conversation about Disney Afternoon has me thinking back to when I watched Miguzi.

Fox Kids. Fucking Digimon! That shit was da bomb! Teddy Ruxpin: "I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOUR REVIEW, CRITIC!!!" Me: "Thank you, Ted."

Seeing as you did a full review on the Disney cartoon block, I'm kind of wanting to see one on some of the other cartoons in different eras. I'd like to see things like discussing early 3D animated shows like ReBoot or Cubix, or shows on WB like Jackie Chan Adventures. Compare early Nick shows like Rocko's Modern Life with early Cartoon Network like Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack.

I never knew you lived in RI! I live there!

I loved this show growing up.

Honestly, I think he should do a brief look at early 2000s toon disney. It would be very interesting to hear dougs take on some of my fav shows when I was growing up (recess, Fillmore, and even Kim possible)

i do remember an episode of tail spins where an inventor was talking about inventing a TV and every one was like that won't catch on, then they walk away then, the episode ends with an effect like a TV turning off. so I'd say it was the 20s

About the Universe, well... Donald Duck characters, Goofy and Chip & Dale all existed in the Mickey Mouse series, so we can assume they are in the same universe, however these cartoons showed different incarnations of the characters (for example Chip & Dale never appear dressed in their Rescue Ranger clothes in Mickey or Donald cartoons, and Monterey Jack and Gadget never appeared), so these series likely take place in a different universe than the classic cartoons, therefore we can't assume that they also take place in the same universe as one another. To add to the confusion, a slightly grown up Max, classic Chip n Dale and "Jungle Book" Baloo appeared together in the House of Mouse series. How is it even possible? (there also are Heuey, Due & Louie looking like their Quack Pack incarnations, but they have their attires switched for some reason) Well, since House of Mouse frequently mentions Disney works as fictional, the most fair assumption is that it takes place in an "overuniverse" where Disney characters are actors that played their respective roles in their movies and cartoons, sometimes based on their real lives (for example in this universe Chip and Dale are two mischievous chipmunks that also happen to be hired by Disney to star in classic Disney shorts that realisticly represent them, as well as, with new stage costumes, in their own TV series that's pure fiction). Such overuniverse is pretty common in fiction, we've seen it in Looney Toons and The Simpsons as well, and is sometimes miscalled "the real world" for promotional reasons. This doesn't help though, since the question is do these fictional tv series take place in the same universe? Let's get to it: as you said Darkwing Duck and DuckTales are clearly connected; then in the Goof Troop movie there's a cameo by Mickey and Donald, but again this proves that *A* Donald exists in the Goof Troop, not that the whole Quack Pack happened. Sadly from what I can remember right now there are no other crossovers in the shows themselves, so we must switch media: many Disney afternoon cartoons were adapted into comics on the Disney Adventures magazine and there has been occasional cross-series cameos, including an entire 5-part story titled "The Legend of the Chaos God" that crossed-over TaleSpin, C&D Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. So there you go, if you accept the comics, these 5 all happen in the same universe. I believe there was also a reference to the Mighty Ducks in some comics, but it was like only on a poster, so it's arguable whether it promotes an actual team existing in the comic's universe or it just promotes the show, that would then be fictional within the comic itself. And... That should be about it. Depending on what you want to consider you can make your mind.

What is that picture in the back left? It looks really cool

Do a review of the Phsycho remake from 98

Now I have to google that cosplay... I totally agree with the analisys, and interesting theory that modern animated shows are good because of the influence of the 80s that the modern creator grow up. I never saw Quack Pack nor Goof Troop, I was already to old for when they came, and I'm glad. I did was a hugh fan of all the others. Did you know that Quackerjack's name in Spanish was "QuackJoker" (Cuackguasón)

Before Pokémon showed up, Toonami launched in March 1997, which was really America's gateway drug to anime. The block lasted 11 years on Cartoon Network before getting canceled for 4 years and Adult Swim picking it up

Disney afternoon is like part of my childhood

and that's why I wanted to animated cartoons and taking it one step beyond!

The Mighty Ducks may not have been DuckTales or Tailspin good, but at least it wasn't Bonkers bad!
