- List of Darkwing Duck episodes
-
The following is list of episodes for Darkwing Duck, an American animated television series produced by The Walt Disney Company that ran from 1991–1995 and 1996–1997 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon and Saturday mornings on ABC. It featured an eponymous superhero anthropomorphic duck with the alter ego of Drake Mallard, voiced by Jim Cummings. It is the first of two spin-offs of DuckTales, the other being Quack Pack.
A total of 91 episodes were made. 65 episodes aired on The Disney Afternoon in the 1991-1992 season (preceded by a special hour-long airing of the origin story "Darkly Dawns the Duck" the weekend before), with 13 more simultaneously airing on ABC in fall 1991. Another 13 episodes aired on ABC in the fall of 1992.
The Disney Afternoon episodes and the first 13 ABC episodes are listed separately. In fact, they constituted a single production season, but Disney originally kept the ABC episodes separate from the syndicated episodes for distribution purposes. The first ABC season was aired on The Disney Afternoon in the fall of 1992. The second ABC season was not aired on The Disney Afternoon until the fall of 1993, after ABC removed the series from its schedule.
Since the syndicated and ABC episodes are separated here, episodes are not listed according to their broadcast chronology. In addition, even the broadcast order of the first 78 episodes does not reflect their in-universe chronology - for example, Liquidator's origin episode "Dry Hard" was aired after his appearances in "Just Us Justice Ducks" and "Life, the Negaverse and Everything." The series' production order (with the exception of "Darkly Dawns the Duck") most closely reflects the intended and chronological episode order.
(NOTE: The specific airdates for the final twelve Disney Afternoon episodes, broadcast in May 1992, are not currently available.)
