 ''Duckman'' ran for four seasons from 1994 to 1997. The program featured Duckman, an alcoholic, sex starved, lazy, arrogant and incompetent anthropomorphic duck who ''"works"'' as a private detective, assisted by his associate Cornfed, a much brighter pig. Most episodes featured Duckman trying to solve cases and his own personal frustrations about his job and family. Just like [[The Simpsons]] the show was a satirical attack at modern (American) society, but even more so strictly aimed at adults.
