Darkwing Duck

Darkwing Duck Premieres on Disney Channel

A snazzy crimefighter outfit and a cool trademark saying, “I am the terror that flaps in the night” are just part of the charm of Darkwing Duck, who starred in the series of the same name that premiered on Disney Channel on this day in 1991. Darkwing Duck proved popular and later replaced Disney’s Gummi Bears in the second season lineup of the two-hour syndicated “Disney Afternoon” block of weekday children’s shows that aired on Disney Channel from 1991-95. A total of 91 episodes of this series starring this hysterical but high-maintenance duck was produced.
