List of DuckTales (1987 TV series) episodes

While Huey, Dewey, and Louie originated in Donald Duck animated short subjects in the 1930s, their characterization on DuckTales approximated that of Barks' comics.

Although Donald Duck was a major player in the Uncle Scrooge comics, he appeared as a guest star in a few DuckTales episodes.

It premiered during the week of September 14–18, 1987 with an edited two-hour television movie version of the five-part serial "Treasure of the Golden Suns".

Three episodes produced for the third season were held back for broadcast until the fall of 1990, when the series was incorporated into The Disney Afternoon.

After foiling the Beagle Boys, Scrooge attempts to determine the nature of the map, until his nephews discover it leads to a sunken treasure ship hidden in the South American nation of Ronguay.

Naturally, the group decide to go after it, but El Capitán is eager to thwart this, and recruits assistance from Scrooge's chief rival, Flintheart Glomgold, with promises to help him become more wealthier with the treasure.

When going to Duck Ridge for an American Civil War reenactment, Launchpad encounters aged Union veterans who once served under his ancestor, who had lost a battle.

Scrooge misuses an alien size-shifting device, and accidentally ends up shrinking himself, the boys, and Webby, to the size of ants.

Part 1 of Catch as Cash Can, Scrooge and Glomgold compete in a contest where the winner, being the world's richest duck, becomes the sales broker for a new fruit from Macaroon that works like a flashlight.

Part 2 of Catch as Cash Can, As Scrooge tries to deliver his fortune to Macaroon, he experiences an interference in the form of a rogue Navy super-submarine working for Glomgold.

After hearing about Launchpad's encounter with several Harpies, Scrooge heads to the Black Sea to seek out the legendary Golden Fleece.

[3] Like "Treasure of the Golden Suns" before them, "Time Is Money" and "Super DuckTales" premiered in the two-hour television movie format, but would repeat in the series' regular rotation as five-part serials.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released four DVD volumes that collect the entire series in NTSC format.

The packaging is adjusted regionally (artwork, language, age certification stamps), but all sets appear to contain identical content.

Note: Episodes 26-32 are missing from the European PAL DVDs (The Curse of Castle McDuck, Launchpad's Civil War, Sweet Duck of Youth, Earth Quack, Home Sweet Homer, Bermuda Triangle Tangle, Micro Ducks from Outer Space).
