Storyline

Trivia
Alton mentions at least 5 famous ducks: Daffy, Donald, Howard, Darkwing, Duckman (as well as the Anaheim Mighty Ducks), in pondering why Americans don't eat more duck.

Goofs
Alton says "...you'll never look at Daffy or any of his chubby little nephews without thinking of good eats." While it is possible that, by "nephews", he was referring to the whole of duckdom, it was actually Donald who had the three chubby little nephews: Huey, Dewey and Louie.

Quotes
Himself - Host: You'd think that the culture that spawned Daffy, Donald, Darkwing, Duckman, Howard the Duck, rubber ducks, Mighty Ducks, lucky ducks, lame ducks, sitting ducks would put duck on the dinner table every now and then... and yet America's per capita consumption of this delicious water fowl is a measly 5 ounces a year. That means that your average American probably wouldn't even recognize a duck unless it had a silly voice and development deal at Disney.
