Darkwing Duck and DuckTales actually took place in the same Universe. There are crossover episodes between these two.
BloodyMastersword
I don't know if its considered cannon, but I remember a disney comic arc about an evil jeweled necklace that possessed whoever wore it. It spanned across rescue rangers, darkwing duck, ducktails, and goof troop just from what I remember. So at the very least I believe those shows all take place in the same universe.
BDWJ1986 well, you know whose making new ground? Your mom.
The joke went over your head.
BDWJ1986 WOAH! What are you doin here? :D Lookin forward to a Top 50 Nostalgia Critic Moves Video :D
+BDWJ1986 BOOO WHAA
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
Hey that's the same as I said in my comment.
47Cartoonguy This is a correct statement. Very correct.
47Cartoonguy I'd forgotten the block name until your comment, but I remember watching all these shows.
47Cartoonguy HA!! Eggs on you! I grew up with the Disney Afternoon, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, and Nickelodeon's shows like Hey Arnold, Rugrats, CatDog, Jimmy Neutron, and Fairy Oddparents, In your face!!! Now I feel sad. I'll just go cry myself into a corner lamenting the loss of my childhood :(
+47Cartoonguy Man we're so lucky to have grown up in the golden age of cartoons, i forget how damn good my childhood really was sometimes.
"Who would fuck Goofy?"
Doug Walker, ruining your childhood since 2007
... Pete's wife? *runs*
***** rule 34 :D
Echoboomer1987 Fun fact, Goofy's wife in the classic cartoons was human

Oh that lucky goof basterd lol
I wanna have her all TO MYSELF! >8(
Ixbran boy...wait until max hears about this
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".
James Moyner As I recall, it aired on Saturday Mornings, not as part of the weekday Disney Afternoon.
+animagusurreal He's right. That was part of One Saturday Morning, which aired along other shows like Recess, Pepper Ann, Fillmore, The Weekenders, Hercules/101 Dalmations The series.
It may have also aired as part of One Saturday Morning, but that block didn't premiere until 1997. The original run of "New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh" began in 1988.
It only aired on the Disney Afternoon block in foreign countries. Just not in the United States.
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.
Baron von DoomFist
Yeah many people are surprised that there aren't any animal with cloths when we arrived
These are better than actual Nostalgia Critic episodes.
Mutsuhito Yamato Critic episodes are fun to watch, these are fun to listen too.
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.
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.
I love how the first 54 seconds is karaoke.
Correction, the first 1:22
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!
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.
Nostalgia Critic should do a WTR of Loonatics Unleashed. Or a review. Either or is fine.
Super Shadic WTRs are reviews. Just not fullscale
Scott Sandler i suppose thats true, but i meant either a WTR or full scale review.
Super Shadic And maybe a WTR for the following shows or least 2 of them:
-The Mask
-Ace Ventura
-Freakazoid (PLEASE DO THAT)
-Beetlejuice
Heavenlyhounds96 When you have the Top TV Intro, OF COURSE YOU'RE REAL
Scott Sandler Indeed, so mostly the other 3 is what he should look at. (It feels like he plans on looking at Ace Ventura (Pet Detective, Alllrighty then.)
I really like this video because my uncle was actually a writer for Darkwing Duck
So basically
He is the (insert noun) that (insert verbs) (other noun)
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.
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!!!
recess was the shit but i could take it or leave it on the rest you listed :P
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 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? :)
DuckTales is so timeless that it's being REVIVED TO AIR ON DISNEY XD IN 2017!
Scott Sandler Are they actually producing new episodes, or is it just a remastered rerun thing?
Tetsu Deinonychus Brand new episodes. But it looks like only Russi Taylor will be reprising as Huey Dewey and Louie. Before you get angry, it's better to recast Scrooge now than have Alan Young (96) die from old age while the show is being produced. June Foray (Magica De Spell) will be 100 by the time the show premieres
Scott Sandler Alan Young will always be Scrooge to me. That said, he recently got to reprise his role in the Ducktales Remastered game, so he was able to bring Scrooge to life recently. Man, whoever's getting the role of Scrooge in the new show will have some tall shoes to fill.
Scott Sandler It better not be CGI or flash animated though, I'm expecting hand drawn like the original or else it's ruined.
Alisha Dee Probably computer-animated. But 2D.
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.

My favorite Cartoon Network line up was Ed, Edd n Eddy, Camp Lazlo, Billy and Mandy, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
+MrSkittlesManiac1 i agree with every thing except Billy and Mandy i have mixed feelings about that show it was hip and miss
35:37 "Would you chip that?" I don't think I've laughed so hard for so long in a long, long time.
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.
Plus, the New Jack Swing style of the theme song is amazing. "Darkwing Duck!"
What? I guess different tastes for different people.
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...
My thoughts exactly. Growing up I probably saw the video cassette dozens of times of "A Goofy Movie" (1995). Right on!
are you dissing goof troop mister?
Cartoon Network was my life as a kid in the 2000's ! They had sooooo many good shows airing at that time !
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.

THAT was my childhood!!!! And it was glorious!!!
For me, my all time favourite disney afternoon show is Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. Absolutely loved thst show.
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.
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.
Aladdin 3 is so underrated more people need to see it
+theAngryscotman I find it the best of the Disney sequels; it's actually good. Robin Williams is hilarious, and we've got a great story about Aladdin and his father. It's a major step up from the Return of Jafar and a good finale to a good TV series.
Tareltonlives I thought so too.
I remember owning it. It was pretty good and the songs were quite nice. Better than the second one and one of the better Disney sequels.
+theAngryscotman
I would argue that Aladdin and the King of Thieves is easily the best DTV Disney sequel, as well as the second best Disney sequel in general right behind The Rescuers Down Under. And that's not just because they had Robin Williams returning as the Genie. The animation almost gives you the impression that it was meant to be released in theaters and the writing and story made you feel like the producers actually gave a shit about what they were making, unlike most Disney sequels. If you love the original Aladdin, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It's a tremendous improvement over the lackluster Return of Jafar and okay-ish animated series.
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.
Doug is such a child, he has never grown up, he is a real life peter pan.
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 think Gummi Bears is the most timeless one of them. It's also one of the best.
BloodyMastersword Gummi Bears was in its final season when Disney Afternoon debuted in 1990. It had run on Saturday morning TV throughout the mid/latter 1980s.
My favorite is Tale Spin. It's aged with grace after 25 years.
Gummi beeeeeeeeaaaars!
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 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".
Since you've done the Disney Afternoon, how about doing the Nicktoons you've reviewed (and all the other Nickelodeon Month subjects)?
I would love to hear his thoughts about Invader Zim. That was one of my favorites from Nickelodeon. It’s in 4th place with Rocko’s Modern Life being in the 3rd, Spongebob being in 2nd, and Rugrats being at number 1.
Adam Kaunfer he did
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 ending is hilarious.
I died at "Would you chip that?" Also I love 37:13 Rob's "I would" face.
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.
+TheGoldenAge thank you.
I warn you, that you will be judged by a hell of a lot of people for this. Be prepared for that.
I've been trying to explain my DVD Box Sets of The Real Ghostbusters and Tron: Uprising since about 2015.
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 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
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.)
iheartryanstyles Disney Afternoon didn't come on Disney Channel (though many of the same shows did). It was syndicated to local channels.
wha?!!?!?!? I didn't know that, because like I said in my comment, I live in Canada I don't think any channel in Canada got it (well some of the Disney shows did show up on MTN Kids Club lineup, and I didn't get Family channel til 1997 and they still showed some Disney Stuff then. Besides Doug didn't even mention that when he reviewed it last year
iheartryanstyles Oh gosh, my childhood was 2000 PBS and beyond for Kids Shows.
EeveeParty97 too bad you missed out on the 90's it had the best programming ever.
iheartryanstyles Well family wanted me to watch more kid friendly programs. Wished I grew up with X-Men and these other amazing cartoons.
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.
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.
Gadget was probably my first cartoon crush.
Peg Pete's way hotter though.
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.
+Bane Knightfall Yep. TMNT was a parody of Frank Miller's ultra-gritty run on Daredevil.
Down to the point that the mutagen truck was supposed to be the one that hit Daredevil.
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
I actually remember toonami. digimon brings forth some vague memories.
Dat intro, thou
YOU!
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.
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.
Wish they mentioned more of their real thoughts on Bonkers and Shnookums and Meat .
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.
Edward Blake you’re either thinking of “Mickeys Once a Upon a Christmas” or “Mickeys Twice Upon a Christmas”.
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 :)
"Who would fuck Goofy?" You guys are finally askin' the real questions.
Check out Doug's editorial on "Is Goofy secretly bad ass?" Afterwards, it is easier to see why some would mate with him.
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.
Jamel Watson It was the best review of Season 7.
The joy about being born in the 80s is that its peak 1990-1992 was the period when most kids our age were in elementary or kindergarten.
I was born in 91, but I got to catch a lot of Ducktales, Gargoyles, and the other good shows on here. Sadly, I remember Quack Pack as well.
Jamel Watson That's fine. There's a member on the CA Forum named Movie Brat who's the same age as you.
The librarian in the second Goofy movie was pretty awesome. Don't underestimate Goofy!
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.
Do real thoughts on Star Wars holiday special.
Fox Kids. Fucking Digimon! That shit was da bomb!
Teddy Ruxpin: "I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOUR REVIEW, CRITIC!!!"
Me: "Thank you, Ted."
The Disney Afternoon video was my favorite of 2014. The most an NC video has made me laugh in years. :)
I feel it is fair to call Gadget hot. She was one of the first characters to break the mold of women. I think most boys fell in love with her personality less than the fact she was a mouse, but there were the boys that thought the mouse part was hot.
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'd love to hear your thoughts on Attack on titan
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.
nepomusik I totally want him to do that for the next Disneycember.
nepomusik I thought he was going to do that last Disneycember. He's running out of options for DIsneycember. He has to do the sequels eventually.
FaceUnreality I hope so. Cinderella 3 is amazing. Cindy so determined one of the stepsisters is redeemed.
Only problem is that if he did them for disneycember it would just be, "that sucked", "that was ok" or "not as bad as I thought it would be but still not great"
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.
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.
I'd like to hear their real thoughts on Sailor Moon, mostly for Rob's perspective on it since he's the anime fan.
Wonder how they feel about One Saturday Morning, hm. I think it had maybe one good show.
They need to bring back Disney Afternoon in the form of modern Disney cartoons such as Wander Over Yonder, Gravity Falls, Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Penn Zero, Future Worm, Phineas and Ferb, Fish Hooks, and Milo Murphy's Law.
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
who here thought Chowder and Flapjack was a good era of cartoons?
***** When I was a kid, I loved Chowder. I didn't really like Flapjack because as a kid, I felt like the animation grossed me out a bit too much. I started to give Flapjack another chance and It's actually not that bad. Also, how come the Sonic Boom cartoon doesn't have the song "Sonic Boom" from Sonic CD? Maybe it's in there somewhere but think I need to watch a few more episodes to figure that out.
They are the Gummi BEARS!
Oh God, now I want oatmeal pies!
I honestly preferred King of Thieves to the original Aladdin. Yeah, they take full advantage of Robin Williams and overuse him to death, but give him credit, he's fucking hilarious in it.
The Mighty Ducks may not have been DuckTales or Tailspin good, but at least it wasn't Bonkers bad!
BTW Doug and Rob, Robot Chicken did a hilarious sketch about Gadget. It's a good one.
Ryan Kmetz ....Lol I know which sketch it is.
Disney and Warner Bros era was the 90's. Late 90's was Nickelodeon Golden era, Early 2000 Cartoon Network took a slice of that cake, the late 2000 Phinneas and Pherb caught everyone's attention, today MLP, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, all corporations seems to have a cartoon that still catch up the young and adult audience
If Bob Dylan sang the intro to the Disney Afternoon
Yanis Khamsi Michael Silversher did.
That is true they didn't try to sell toys with disney afternoon unless you count the video games and the Darkwing duck toys but for the most part that is true.
Greg Matic Unless you count every goddamn show getting an NES game made by Capcom. XD
I remember when they'd make a tv show out of just about every disney movie. When they were busy not making a straight-to-video sequel.
I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't much talk about Gargoyles. He covered it allot, so that's probably why there wasn't much focus on it.
Pow3rh0use He did a full Nostalgia Critic Episode on it and even in the Disney Afternoon episode he barely touched on it.
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.
I think Tailspin is set in modern times, since Kit wears his hat backwards and is into "cloudsurfing."
Nah, it's set in the past. The show featured no computers, rarely any television sets, and the radio was the characters' primary means of communication. The creators were a little lenient with Kit's portrayal in order to appeal to young kids at the time, hence the backwards cap and fascination with extreme sports, (i.e. cloud surfing), which were big fads at the time the show was airing.
Canonically according to the Disney Wiki at least Talespin is in the Duck Universe's 40s.
No, he means that TS takes place in the same universe, but in that universe's 1940s.
Can’t say I was an 8 year old in 1987…
I was still a twinkle in my dad’s eye in 1987 LOL
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'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...
I forgot about Quack Pack. Thanks for bring up that nightmare
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.
omg Rob stop interrupting Doug all the time! :P
He's his older brother. As the youngest brother of five siblings (three sisters two brothers) I can attest to numerous time older siblings interrupt during discussions. However they both give great points in this video.
I was not around to watch the Disney afternoon, but it looks like a fun block on tv. My favorites would be Duck tales, darkwing duck, goof troop, gargoyles, & timon and pumbaa.
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)
You know what´s funny Doug? I did kinda enjoy the Goof Troop... but honestly... I liked much more THE GOOFY MOVIE where it suprisingly gave us the father and son relationship and created real drama. Maybe the show could have been more like that.
***** I watched it for the first season.
According to Disneycember, he actually likes the movie as well for those exact reasons.
Okay, my thoughts on the Disney Afternoon lineup:
Gummi Bears - Didn't watch it much, partly 'cause it was already partly through by the time I got home from school. I'd like to watch it sometime, especially because it's one of the few Disney cartoons to have an actual finale (King Igthorn).
DuckTales - Enjoyable as a kid, more enjoyed now just 'cause of how epic things got at times. While most episodes were self-contained, it also had some pretty big story arcs. I mean, there were three 5-part episodes! In fact, I'm just going to say right now that the Disney Afternoon is solely responsible for my love of cliffhangers.
Rescue Rangers - Favorite show as a kid, kinda "meh" now because it's a little /too/ childish. But the 5-part opener (To the Rescue) is still fun to watch.
TaleSpin - My second-favorite show of the Disney Afteroon. It wasn't as epic as DuckTales, but the dogfights were pretty cool, and it has more variety in characters (as in, not just ducks and dogs). And while Doug and Rob remember DuckTales for its "Treasure of the Golden Suns" 5-part opener, I'd argue that TaleSpin's 4-part "Plunder & Lighting" opener is even better. Not only does it have the action, but it also has emotion.
DarkWing Duck - Enjoyed the show as a kid, enjoyed it less later because it wasn't a serious show. But I still admire it for having a rogue's gallery to rival Batman's.
Goof Troop - I enjoyed it. Haven't rewatched it in a long time, though. Would I still enjoy it now? Probably.
Bonkers - Favorite of the Disney Afternoon lineup as a kid, most hated of the lineup now. I care not to go into detail why.
Shcnookums and Meat - Forgot it was even a thing. I prefer it stay that way.
Aladdin - Enjoyed it as a kid, kinda don't care now.
Gargoyles - Favorite of the Disney Afternoon. It's so un-Disney-like, for a long time I didn't even know it was a Disney cartoon (when it started airing here, the Disney Afternoon was reconfigured as a local station's kids' block). That's not a bad thing, as the show was so epic and cool. It also had some of the biggest story arcs, and continuity to boot (every episode in Season 2 had a recap to remind you of previous events). I have Season 1 and both volumes of Season 2 on DVD. Very much worth it (especially being that they're uncensored). Also disappointed you guys didn't talk about it much in this video.
Timon and Pumbaa - The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time. This show... I was not a fan. Deviated from the movie too much, and I really did not need to see Pumbaa shaking his butt at the screen during the opening of every episode.
Quack Pack - I... kinda enjoyed it? It was kinda cool to see Huey, Dewey, and Louie at an older age.
Mighty Ducks - It was a fun show. I liked when they broke the fourth wall. Like in one episode, after the commercial break, they commented how they shouldn't have just sat there waiting for death during the commercial break.
Why does talk about Disney Afternoon always ends up with Sexy Gadget? XD
It's a joke, folks.
I miss Toon Disney and Jetix QQ RIP W.I.T.C.H, Oban star racers, and my favorite YING YANG YO!
