As a somewhat-active member who's also into this show, I kinda hafta agree. However, "Darkwing Duck" is one of those happening things right now, as "Goof Troop" will probably be next season. IMHO, if a certain clique of people band together united under a "new idea" they're likely to turn it into a cult following. One example is, of course, the Darkwing Duck mega-fans, a small group possibly led by some mysterious person with the craving to say "More Morgana!" at every possibility. And members who do nothing all day but compile "I am the terror..." quotes. ;-] ;-] Other "new ideas" in the animation biz: -> "Capitol Critters". Not as seriously followed as "Darkwing Duck", but the criticism is there. -> "Ren 'n' Stimpy". Taken to the level where a separate newsgroup (or more precisely, alt. group) was formed. -> "The Disney Afternoon". A moderated following able to discuss a spectrum of aspects ranging from strict reality to utter silliness. (so what if I'm not good at self-criticism, I'm just a naive freshman) [please direct followups to rec.arts.animation] -- the PC-Thief Serial #55721 | Don't just read the digests, be part of them!
