[edit] Bias

I marked this article with the bias template because of the first two sentences in the final paragraph of the first section:

As for DuckTales itself, it was last seen on Toon Disney, Disney's (so-called) all-toon network. Due to bad scheduling and the addition of JETIX, it has vanished completely off the network.

These seem biased to me, but I also think some folks may not think so. I'm basically looking for a consensus here. Fredo 21:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

A rewrite would be good. Maybe: "DuckTales was last seen on Toon Disney, a Disney-owned network that airs mostly animated cartoons. After the addition of JETIX, the show left circulation, and as of 2005, it is not airing." BrianSmithson 22:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I'd vote for a removal or rewrite of that entire paragraph, since it only applies to (and makes sense to) American readers. -- Bob, 20:18, 25 juli 2006 (EST)

[edit] Characters

I added links to the family trees that were on the Hortense Duck page for clarification of the characters. A list of characters that appear in the show, or at least those that appear in the page's accompanying picture, would be most helpful if anyone has the time & knowledge.128.252.107.73 22:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

How many languages are we going to put in the Foreign Translations and The Internet section? It seems like somebody's adding a new one every now and then. – Iggy Koopa 23:01, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Animation Studio on DuckTales.

I noticed that the wikipedia entry does not mention the animation studio that was involved. If I remember clearly, it was TMS Entertainment. Anyone here know for sure?

[edit] Lyrics

How about someone posting the lyrics to the theme? 71.250.51.234 19:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

The show and the theme song are still under copyright, so those lyrics would be illegal for us to post. — BrianSmithson 03:37, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Premiere

The article says the pilot episode premiered on the 11th September 1987...but this UK ITV listing from the 7th [1] clearly features it as part of the CiTV lineup. Did it premiere in the UK first, or something? BillyH 07:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DuckTales episodes

umm, why is the DuckTales episodes page deleted?

[edit] Russian

Did the Russian version contain a badly acted dub over the original English speech, as the Russians are infamous for always doing? 惑乱 分からん 22:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it wasn't. I have been watching Утиные истории for a long time and made some VHS recordings. Brand 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Definitely not. Low-quality dubs were typical for "garage translations" ( which, unfortunately, constituted 90% of Western content available in Russia during Perestroyka. ) All content purchased by/for the state TV was always properly dubbed. --Itinerant1 22:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Number One Dime

This article states that the number one dime was not a luck charm in the comics. In fact, it is clearly said to be a good luck charm for Scrooge on numerous occasions. In "Getting that healthy, wealthy feeling" in Uncle Scrooge #50, for example, the entire plot hinges upon Scrooge touching the dime in order to reverse his recent luck.
