The Final Part of THE DISNEY AFTERNOON LOOKBACK! OH MY!

 

So in 1997 to 1998 the Disney Afternoon had its last gasp of fresh beautiful air before going excitent and by fresh beautiful air I mean the smoggiest shit in existence. Stuff that would make you sick. So like living in Los Angeles OH SNAP SON!  Anyway they cut down to 90 minutes and put on one new show Mighty Ducks and reruns of Quack Pack and Ducktales?!?. This era is refered to as the "Disney-Kellogg's Alliance" because they needed someones help because they didnt want to spend as much money and syndication was losing to Nickoldeon and Cartoon Network.  They were also doing ONE SATURDAY MORNING with well let's face it better cartoons than Quack Pack and the Mighty Ducks. Apparently 101 Dalmations premiered on this block and was shared with One Saturday Morning but I'm gonna talk about that show in THAT set of articles.

 I liked this show a lot more as a kid but if I'm being honest it's still not bad. Just kind of the middle show. The characters act like they did in the Lion King and the comedy comes from them put in wacky situations. It's just I thought it was funnier when I was a kid. I still got a few chuckles outta some stuff so it's not all bad. It's just "Yeah that existed and it was alright" kinda quality for me. Certainly better than the next two shows we are talking about. I'll give this a Kinda-Recommend but a Recommend if you are like super into the Lion King.

Quack Pack: This is the 1990s at its worst. Every dumb thing about the 1990s shoved into one Disney Cartoon. Huey Dewy and Louie are now cynical and lazy teenangers who think they are better than the grownups around them. you know, a 90s teenanger who have no time for those LAME OLD THINGS as seen in the theme song (THE QUACK PACK THEME. ITS BAD.) and they give us bad Donald Duck cartoons, which I personally belive is a sin against God, Nature, and al lliving creatures within the universe no matter where they are. Also another sin is making Huey Duck horny for like human women. I don't like that. Also don't call the place they live Duckberg you don't deserve Duckberg. Not Recommended.

The Mighty Ducks: Can you say generic? If you can good on you! If you can say forced 90s action show that somehow is generic as hell then this is that show. I did not even enjoy this as a 12 year old and I was watching the hell out of One Saturday Morning like the cool dude I was. This was the last gasp for the Disney Afternoon and it didn't work out. This show was just bland as oatmeal without any charm. I think this would probably be the worst of the lot. At least Quack Pack is weirdly interesting in its terribleness, this however is nonsense. They both have weird Duck/human love stuff going on in them. I don't want to come off as some kind of duck racist but I don't think human beings should want to have sex with them. It's weird. (Oh and the guy who was a part of Jefferson Starship and Starship sung the theme song or wrote the lyrics or something. Wild. We Built this City is a great song and haters can suck my taint) The lack of Emilio Estevez is also very bad. Not Recommended.

That's the Disney Afternoon, peeps. It started off great, became good (as in there were a mix of good and less than good shows on it) and ended off poorly. It was a big part of my childhood but I don't even know if I ever saw these shows under the Disney Afternoon banner. I'm glad you joined me to discuss these shows and I will be back with a new set of Disney related stuff for ya.
