Sitting Ducks

Sitting Ducks is a CGI-animated children's television series based on the 1977 "Sitting Ducks" lithograph and the 1998 children's book of the same name, created by the poster artist Michael Bedard. The series first premiered internationally before debuting in the United States on Cartoon Network. The show lasted for two seasons each comprising thirteen episodes, with the last episode shown on July 5, 2003. Background Sitting Ducks takes place in a 1970’s-style town called Ducktown, and stars the duck Bill who likes to drink milkshakes, play “bucket-ball” (basketball), and hang out with his best friend Aldo, the alligator. Bill (Ian James Corlett) likes to live a more laid-back life, such as his peaceful hobby of painting, and his affinity for flight, and ponders about ducks taking flight. He shares the building with his next-door neighbors, the three duck brothers Ed, Oly, and Waddle (Louis Chirillo, Phil Hayes, and Jay Brazeau respectively), who like to pilfer Bill’s fridge looking for snacks. Bill also shares his building with Fred (Phil Hayes), a melancholy penguin who is an immigrant from Antarctica, who now lives in Ducktown.
