Short summary

Herb and Binkie Muddlefoot go missing and the evidence leads to the mysterious town of Twin Beaks where nothing is what is seems.

The alien cow says that she is "from the planet Larson, on the far side of the galaxy". This is a reference to Gary Larson's comic "The Far Side".

A parody of the TV show Twin Peaks (1990). A scene where Bushroot's body is wrapped in plastic and tossed down the river mimic's that of Laura Palmer's fate in the aforementioned show.

    'Darkwing Duck' has always been a show dear to my heart. One of those favourites from a young age that holds up really well, and is even more entertaining through adult eyes from appreciating the writing and stories even more.

    Have been on a roll reviewing individual episodes for certain shows, animated, non-animated and of as many genres as possible (many as part of certain quests), and decided to do it with 'Darkwing Duck' and some others. Something that, as expected and hoped, has proven to be a more than worthwhile project and experience. "Twin Beaks" is one of the best episodes, and exemplifies what is so great about the show.

    Maybe a few too many characters and a few are more interesting than others, but most work and Bushroot continues to grow on me.

    The animation is very colourful and atmospheric as always however. The music matches what is going on perfectly while it is impossible to forget one of the catchiest theme songs in animation.

    Writing is witty, very funny without being too silly and thought-probing without being complicated. Things don't get too childish and it is all easy to follow. The story is compelling and lively in pace without being rushed, and executes a nice idea imaginatively without being too silly. Darkwing is an immensely likeable and fun title character and Launchpad never fails to bring a smile to my face. Gossalyn adds a lot of spunk and really spices things up even more, she is not a brat neither is she too overly-cute.

    Jim Cummings fits Darkwing like a glove, it is always lovely to hear him in non-villain roles when he excels just as well in them. Christine Cavanaugh is a major part of why Gossalyn works so well as a character, and Terence McGovern is note-perfect for Launchpad.

    Overall, great. 9/10 Bethany Cox
