This new forum got me thinking about one of the less celebrated and IMO, underrated adult TV cartoons: Duckman, created by Everett Peck and produced by the now defunct Klasky-Csupo studio.
Duckman originally aired on the USA Network and ran on Saturday nights after Weird Science: The Series. My favorite characters on the series were Duckman himself (voiced by Seinfeld's Jason Alexander) and his deadpan, Joe Friday-esque partner Cornfed Pig (voiced by Gregg Burger).
The series isn't presently airing on any station that I'm aware of, but the entire series (4 seasons) is available on DVD, which I own.

I don't have this on DVD, but I loved this show! The episode where Duckman dated an ugly 911 operator is genius, especially the unexpected downbeat ending. I also liked (and I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this comment) the episode where Duckman was followed by a TV camera for the show "American Dicks". When he said, "I'm going to prove I'm the biggest dick in America!" and then his partner just looked at the camera with a straight face was pure comedic genius! (I hope I'm not getting banned for that sort of off-color remark. If so, just delete this.)
I loved Duckman! Here in the UK it aired on BBC2 at 11.00pm. On the IMDb reviews page for Duckman UK resident Dave Besag recalled a newspaper article bemoaning the then current state of UK TV with a headline something like 'What is UK TV coming to when the best show on is about an animated duck?'
