''Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man'' is an American adult animated sitcom that aired on the USA Network from March 5, 1994 to September 6, 1997. It was created and developed by Everett Peck. The sitcom is based on characters created by Peck in his ''Dark Horse'' comic. Klasky Csupo animated the series and produced it along with Reno & Osborn Productions for Paramount Network Television. It marks Klasky Csupo's first adult-oriented television series. ==Premise== The series centers on Eric T. Duckman (voiced by Jason Alexander), a lascivious, widowed, anthropomorphic duck who lives with his family in Los Angeles〔Episode "Bev Takes a Holiday"〕 and works as a private detective. The tagline of the show, seen in the opening credits, is "Private Dick/Family Man" ("dick" being short for "detective", as well as serving as a double entendre). Main characters include Cornfed Pig (Gregg Berger), Duckman's Joe Friday-esque business partner and best friend, Ajax (Dweezil Zappa), Duckman's eldest, mentally-slow teenage son; Charles (Dana Hill; Pat Musick) and Mambo (E. G. Daily), Duckman's Siamese twin child genius sons whose heads share a body; Bernice (Nancy Travis), Duckman's sister-in-law and the identical twin of Beatrice who is a fanatic fitness buff and hates Duckman with a passion; Grandma-ma (Travis), Duckman's comatose, immensely flatulent mother-in-law; Agnes Delrooney (Brian Doyle-Murray), Grandma-ma's doppelgänger who kidnaps her and poses as her for several episodes; Fluffy and Uranus (Pat Musick), Duckman's two Care Bear-esque teddy-bear office assistants. Recurring characters include George Herbert Walker "King" Chicken (Tim Curry), a supervillain who schemes to ruin Duckman's life; Beatrice (Nancy Travis), Duckman's first wife who was believed to be killed in an accident; Beverly (Travis), Beatrice and Bernice's long-lost sister; and Gecko, Duckman's pet dog. In the final episode, four couples (Dr. Stein/Dana Reynard, Duckman/Honey, King Chicken/Bernice, Cornfed/Beverly) got married – the last three in a joint ceremony. The kids, Fluffy and Uranus, and a number of characters from previous episodes are shown to be in attendance. As the ceremonies draw to a close, though, Beatrice (Duckman's supposedly deceased wife) appears and shocks the entire crowd. When Duckman asks how she can still be alive, Beatrice indicates Cornfed always knew. The last line of the series is Cornfed saying, "I can explain." The show then ends with "To be continued...?" superimposed on the screen. In regards to this cliffhanger, ''Duckman'' writer Michael Markowitz offered the following shortly after the series came to an end: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duckman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
