| - The Plucky Duck Show was a short-lived 1992 spin-off of Tiny Toon Adventures that featured Plucky Duck.
- Out of the thirteen episodes, only the first one, The Return of Batduck (as a homage and tie-in to the 1992 Tim Burton film, Batman Returns), was completely original to the series. All of the show's remaining episodes were compilations of shorts produced for Tiny Toon Adventures (Though some shorts aired on The Plucky Duck Show first). The show's theme song is set to the same tune as the Tiny Toon Adventures theme song, but with different lyrics to suit Plucky as the center of attention. The lyrics to the theme song can be seen below. After the show's cancellation, The Return of Batduck was added as a regular Tiny Toon Adventures episode in reruns and syndication, with several bits and pieces cut in order to fit in the Tiny Toon Adventures opening credits. The Plucky Duck Show's formula was re-attempted several years later with the Animaniacs characters, Pinky and the Brain, with better results, as Pinky and the Brain lasted 65 episodes, all of which were original material instead of shorts previously used on Animaniacs.
