Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man is an American animated sitcom created and developed by Everett Peck, based on characters he created in his 1990 one-shot comic book published by Dark Horse Comics. Duckman aired on the USA Network from March 5, 1994, through September 6, 1997, for 4 seasons. It follows Eric Tiberius Duckman (voiced by Jason Alexander), a private detective who lives with his family.
After airing in syndication, the series gained a cult following. Spin-off media include volume DVDs released from 2008 to 2009, a comic book collection released by Topps between 1994 and 1996, a Complete Series DVD set released in 2018, and a video game entitled Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick for Microsoft Windows. The series was listed among IGN's "Top 100 Best Animated TV Shows" in 2009 and received three nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
Storyline
Eric T. Duckman is a widowed, lewd, self-hating, egocentric anthropomorphic duck who lives with his family in Los Angeles and works as a private detective.
Supporting characters include Cornfed, a pig who is Duckman's Joe Friday-esque business partner and best friend; Ajax, Duckman's eldest, mentally-slow teenage son; Charles and Mambo, Duckman's conjoined twin child genius sons whose heads share a body; Bernice, Duckman's sister-in-law and the identical twin of Beatrice who is a fanatic fitness buff and hates Duckman with a passion; Grandma-ma, Duckman's comatose, immensely flatulent mother-in-law; and Fluffy and Uranus, Duckman's two Care Bear-esque teddy-bear office assistants.
