Some of you might find this of interest: “Darkwing Duck, the mysterious mallard superhero who headlined his own 1991 animated series as part of the beloved Disney Afternoon lineup, will swing his way into Duckburg on Disney XD’s upcoming revival of DuckTales.” Certainly my wife will: Darkwing Duck is part of her growing-up cartoon lineup, the way that Star Blazers, Transformers, and GI Joe was part of mine. Heck, she might even be willing to consider cable, now.
…Well, no. But it’ll at least tempt her.

I thought the Disney afternoon was quite good, and I’m about the same age as you, Moe.

Granted, not quite as as good as Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, but they were well made updates on those Disney characters.

My favorite was Tale Spin, but I was a fan of The Jungle Book when I was a kid.
“I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the check writer in the cash only lane of crime!” One of my favorite quotes. Hope they can keep that level of whimsy going.
I never liked GI Joe or Transformers.

Star Blazers, on the other hand, I can still sing the themesong too.
One hopes the guard flamingos show up.
