My favorite part of the show is the theme song at the begining sung by tom jones it just makes the show for me. After that who cares. it does have it moments for me after all i always thought daffy duck was histercal and porky pig as his sidekick is great.
If you are a fan of Warner Brother cartoons, such as Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Yosemite, Foghorn, and many others, then you will love this series. I couldn't disagree more with the moron who posted the review that slammed this series. My son and I religiously watched each episode as they premiered week to week on Cartoon Network. We couldn't wait to see the next one. We laughed so hard we fell off the couch. The one that mocked "Iron Giant" was one of our favorites (I go... you stay... no following). Not since "Samurai Jack" has a writing team given us so much to laugh about in one series. When it suddenly came to a halt, we stopped watching Cartoon Network. The more recent shows don't even come close to the level of this wonderful series. I feel sorry for the cynical reviewer who sounded so high and mighty about animation. This isn't animation. These are cartoons. They make you laugh. We love Bugs Bunny. We love Elmer Fudd. We especially love Daffy Duck. May you long live to make us laugh because.... you're despicable! (spoken with a lisp)
This is a cool series that takes old characters and uses them to spoof Alien, TNG/VOY, and countless other sci-fi shows. The animation is well done, and the voices are true to the characters.
I think that it is great for older kids and adults because of some of the inside jokes that may confuse. However, if you know a bit about popular culture, you will see lots of cool gags and references to modern TV and film. I especially like the design of ships, as the earth ships are very classically styled and the Martian ships are kind of like Akira class vessels from Star Trek.
The episode "The Fudd" is based on the concept of the Borg from Star Trek in every way. It was cool to see Trek being used in such a funny way.

...is Chuck Jones spinning in his grave. "Duck Dodgers" is proof that animation is a dying art. In his book "Chick Amuck", Jones said that animation is primarily a visual art. A cartoon is true animation if you can turn off the sound and still understand the whole thing. If you need the sound to understand what's going on, it's illustrated radio. "Duck Dodgers" is illustrated radio of the worst sort. The character was never intended to be sustained over more than one cartoon, and even Jones' own reprise, 1980's "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century" fell flat. Unfortunately, Cartoon Network has seen fit to remove one of the two Sunday evening showings of the exemplary "Toon Heads" to inflict a rerun of this turkey. I suggest they keep it confined to its first-run slot on late Friday night, the later the better, or, better yet, consign it to the dustbin of failure.
This show is a hilarious twist on the classic Marvin the Martian universe, featuring none other than Daffy Duck as the bumbling space hero, Duck Dodgers! The animation is super vibrant, blending a retro feel with a modern twist, which really captures the essence of the Looney Tunes charm. Daffy's over-the-top antics as he tries to prove himself as a top-notch space hero, while often failing spectacularly, makes for some seriously funny episodes. Plus, the dynamic with Porky Pig, who plays his loyal sidekick, is just gold. Their comedic timing really makes the show shine! The plots are kooky and imaginative, taking Daffy and his crew through wacky space adventures, battling enemies like Marvin the Martian and even encountering bizarre aliens along the way. It's like a mash-up of classic cartoon humor with sci-fi themes, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. What I really appreciate is that each episode is filled with clever jokes and pop culture references, so there's always something to chuckle about. And let's not forget about the memorable theme song, it's one of those tunes that sticks in your head all day!

- TriviaThis show's theme song was sung by Sir Tom Jones, in a style reminiscent to his performance of the theme song from the James Bond movie Thunderball (1965). Jones also appeared in caricature form in season two, episode four Talent Show a Go-Go/The Love of a Father (2004) to sing his signature song, "It's Not Unusual".
