Now the bad news: Seasons 3 and 4 are still not available (Boo!) and if sales of the first set are not impressive enough, it's conceivable that the rest of the show will never be released, and that would be a crying shame. I should know. It's already happened to one of the favourite shows from my youth.
If you've never seen Duckman, Wikipedia offers a good rundown of the show's premise, characters, cast and history.
The style of the show falls somewhere in between South Park and The Simpsons, with Duckman himself being a combination of Eric Cartman, Daffy Duck, and Archie Bunker. And when you throw in Jason Alexander's distinctive voice and Duckman's sudden bursts of hysterics, George Costanza's fans should find a lot to love as well.
I originally saw the show in reruns several years after South Park had debuted, and considering how the characters of Fluffy and Uranus meet a fate similar to Kenny's in nearly every episode, I'd always assumed that elements of Duckman's edgy humour were inspired by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, but looking at the timelines for the two shows it might have been the other way around.
Seasons 3 and 4 were when Duckman consistently reached levels of maniacal genius that were rarely seen on television, but the first two seasons are very good as well, and worth having if only to guarantee the release of subsequent seasons. Don't let what happened to those other private detectives happen to Duckman.
To give you a taste of what to expect, I've put together a playlist featuring one of the better episodes from the first two seasons, as well as some bonus clips thrown in at the end.
