if it helps, Heron’s wardrobe is still stuck in the 60s
Also I like the commitment to the gag that Scrooge is always using a phone a decade plus out of place. He’s using something akin to a RAZR a few episodes back, and this one he was using an 80s Brick
My guess is he uses it until it literally breaks and is forced to buy a new one
The letter Scrooge got from his sister asking him to watch the kids is a verbatim copy of the letter Donald got from his sister asking him to watch her kids in Huey, Dewey, and Louie's original 1938 appearance.
I can't help but enjoy Bradford's attempts to create nice simple boring order while surrounded by people like Scrooge and Heron. He was great in this last episode.

I said that would be my favorite running joke in the back half of the season.
I was really confused for a bit, because... wasn't that episode like 2 years ago? Why bring it up now? And yeah, there was. The episode where Dewey goes back in time (and might be the one you're thinking of), Donald was totally voiced by Russi Taylor. But there's a new one that aired a few days ago and that's Cristina Vee.

Associate Editor of collider says Disney has yet to announce it but Ducktales is cancelled.
Extremely disappointing.
But that tracks for Disney.

I love seeing the #RenewDuckTales2017 hashtag but regretfully inform you that the show is very much done and has been done for a little while now. Not sure why Disney Channel has yet to announce this, but it’s the truth.
Shows right at that 65 episode mark. So the last batch of season 3 may be the series finale.

It feels about right. The metaplot of the show (Scrooge v. FOWL) is wrapping up, and there’s a Darkwing spinoff in the works.
I've long thought the Darkwing leak was oddly-timed -- it came just a month after the Duck Tales crew did their own DW ep, which made me think someone on the new DW leaked it as an attempt to draw attention and ensure their project succeeds. If the Duck Tales group really is folding, that makes the timing of the DW leak doubly interesting.
Apparently the reason is low ratings since its move to Disney XD, which makes sense for a show when you move it to a channel fewer people watch and also completely ignore your own fucking streaming service as a platform for new episodes.

This is why I worry about Darkwing, its not like its so radically different that corporate would necessiarly greenlight the spin-off when the main is failing.

As a death slot. Corporate intrigue at it's worst is my guess as to what happened. Different executives with different motivations for wanting a show to succeed or fail. Someone with a reason to want Ducktales to fail got a chance to kill it and succeeded.

What kind of crazy executive would want something as good as Ducktales to fail? ... unless ...
This is insane. DuckTales is not only the best cartoon Disney put out in years, but the perfect backdoor to reboot every other Disney Afternoon show.
I hate Disney corporate. But I'm not surprised. It took 10 years of outputting several billion-dollar movies per year to break the MCU away from the racist sexist execs holding it back. DuckTales never stood a chance.

The last Disney great animated show I watched before Ducktales was Tron: Uprising and that was basically cancelled before it was broadcast (and also died the death of XD), so the only thing surprising to me about Ducktales getting cancelled is that it got so many seasons first.
The fact that Disney put together their whole own fucking online streaming service and then utterly fucking ignored it for Ducktales is appalling, but pretty on-brand for them. Shit, the Ducktales episodes they did put on there weren't even in the right order for something like 6-8 months because they gave that little of a shit about having the series on there.

While this happens far too often in Hollywood, it's also possible the move was an attempt to make XD succeed. Plus, if Disney execs really wanted it to fail, they wouldn't have provided advance clips of episodes to news outlets, heavily promoted the Darkwing episode (including making it for free on YouTube), etc.

Considering they've got a hugely-successful online streaming service right there and completely ignored it, I'm betting this has something to do with internal politics and the dying throes of some outdated TV-fixated execs who would rather watch shows die out of spite than admit streaming is taking over.

I think the "low ratings"/"exec with an axe to grind" theories are overthinking it. As has been pointed out earlier in the thread, Disney tends to cancel all their cartoons after roughly three seasons/sixty-five episodes regardless of performance. They believe, rightly or wrongly, that they need to keep shaking things up with new ideas to maintain relevance.
I'll remain realistically optimistic and keep my figures crossed for a revival/spiritual successor on Disney+ someday. It happened to Young Justice, after all.
I'm not. Disney is raking in money no matter what they do. Meaning execs can take bad decisions and still watch profits pour in and pretend they're business geniuses. See also: some asshole stockholder imposing his racist misogynistic opinions on the MCU for years.

Also I like the commitment to the gag that Scrooge is always using a phone a decade plus out of place. He’s using something akin to a RAZR a few episodes back, and this one he was using an 80s Brick
My guess is he uses it until it literally breaks and is forced to buy a new one
They didnt make it super clear there was a time skip until Bradford showed up bald

Right, I meant spring. :redface:

Do you have a link to a source?

Didn't the earlier rumor imply the Darkwing Duck reboot is not a spin-off of Ducktales? Do we have two contradicting rumors now?
Not either way, just that no indication the ducktales team is connected to the pitch
Honestly Ducktales is written well enough that I wouldn't mind seeing the series go all the way up to high school graduation for the kids.
