Queer Duck: He Can't Even Fly Straight
With all the publicity around the Simpsons movie, another hilarious animated series deserves visibility. Showtime's Queer Duck has only 20 short episodes, but they are delightfully twisted and all available on the Showtime website.
The main character is Queer Duck, a/k/a Adam Seymour Duckstein, the son of "orthoducks" Jews. So that shows the source of some of the humor, as when Queer Duck brings boyfriend Openly Gator home to meet the parents. Other characters are Oscar Wildcat and Bi-Polar Bear (complete with Paul Lynde-like voice).
I defy viewers to not hum along to the irresistably bouncy theme song, which starts
Queer Duck, he's intellectual
Queer Duck, he's homosexual
Please don't think that he's perverse
He's the patients' favorite male nurse.
I'm sorry Showtime never made more episodes. Fortunately, last year Queer Duck: The Movie came out, with the unforgettable tag line "He Can't Even Fly Straight!" Simpson writer Mike Reiss created the movie, so you know it's got to be good.
This DVD goes to the top of my Hanukkah list.
