- TriviaThis show's theme song was sung by Sir Tom Jones, in a style reminiscent to his performance of the theme song from the James Bond movie Thunderball (1965). Jones also appeared in caricature form in season two, episode four, "Talent Show a Go-Go/The Love of a Father", to sing his signature song, "It's Not Unusual".
- Quotes
Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers: [Duck Dodgers' version of the Green Lantern Oath] In blackest day or brightest night... Watermelon, cantaloupe, yadda yadda... Erm... superstitious and cowardly lot... With liberty and justice for all!
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles credit the "starring" Looney Tunes like human actors: "Starring Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers", "Porky Pig as The Eager, Young Space Cadet" and "Marvin the Martian as The Martian Commander".

Featured review
That whirring sound you hear...
...is Chuck Jones spinning in his grave. "Duck Dodgers" is proof that animation is a dying art. In his book "Chick Amuck", Jones said that animation is primarily a visual art. A cartoon is true animation if you can turn off the sound and still understand the whole thing. If you need the sound to understand what's going on, it's illustrated radio. "Duck Dodgers" is illustrated radio of the worst sort. The character was never intended to be sustained over more than one cartoon, and even Jones' own reprise, 1980's "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century" fell flat. Unfortunately, Cartoon Network has seen fit to remove one of the two Sunday evening showings of the exemplary "Toon Heads" to inflict a rerun of this turkey. I suggest they keep it confined to its first-run slot on late Friday night, the later the better, or, better yet, consign it to the dustbin of failure.
