List of Darkwing Duck episodes
The following is list of episodes for Darkwing Duck, an American animated television series produced by The Walt Disney Company that ran from 1991–1995 and 1996–1997 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon and Saturday mornings on ABC. It featured an eponymous superhero anthropomorphic duck with the alter ego of Drake Mallard, voiced by Jim Cummings. It is the first of two spin-offs of DuckTales, the other being Quack Pack.
A total of 91 episodes have aired, several episodes were in production but were never completed and thus never aired. The episodes in this list are ordered by season. However, because seasons one and two both aired simultaneously on different networks, episodes are not listed chronologically. For instance, some events that happen in season two, such as character introductions, take place before certain season one episodes. This is reflected in the production order which presents the intended and chronological order.

Episode list
NOTICE: This list for season one is completely incorrect. As some who watched the show when it first aired and has the videotape evidence to prove it, none of the episodes starting from about two dozen shows in are given the proper air date. The syndicated Darkwing Duck show did not air in an unbroken run. If it did, the Halloween, Valentines and Christmas episodes wouldn't have aired on their respective holidays. There was a fall, a winter and spring run of new episodes, with repeats in between. All episode lists showing an unbroken run with no repeats are WRONG. If this is deleted then it shows that the people running Wikipedia have no problem with incorrect information. Allow the person who has attempted to correct to air dates to change them. Because, again, what is listen here is wrong.

Season Four
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010) |
Rumor had it that there were plans for a season four, it is said that this cancelled season was meant to be the finale arc of Darkwing Duck and would had tied up lost ends. So far only four episodes had been revealed.
However it remains unknown whenever these four episodes were part of the cancelled season four or they were made by a desperate fan. It is unknown if these episodes were written in script format by the writers of the series or if they were part of the unfinished fifteen episodes. Tad Stones had claimed in a internet interview that he was not involved in the final fifteen episodes of the series, which is believed he doesn't know what the final fifteen episodes were. And also it was stated that there were ideas for a Quiverwing Quack spinoff series, this attempt was done in the early 2000s but Disney had cancelled it. Other than these four episodes were believed to be an idea for a Posiverse episode that would had featured Posiduck, a episode that exploited the origins of Negaduck and how he came to Saint Canard and confront Darkwing for the first time, a crossover between Ducktales and a episode where Morgana and Darkwing were going to get married. But since the series had ended we will never if these episodes were apart of the series or a fan's imagination.[citation needed]
