Love Ducks

The Love Ducks is a children's television program featuring psychedelic ducks quacking to different music, such as "La Toreador" from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen and Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

The Love Ducks revolves around a paradise in which hundreds of brightly colored ducks float about all day quacking musical numbers. Despite being seemingly aimed at toddlers, the show has a certain trippy appeal.

In That's a Baby Show!, Arthur manages to take over the T.V. from D.W. so he can watch the Dark Bunny. However, he comes across The Love Ducks while channel-surfing, and actually finds himself getting sucked in. He begins to watch the show secretly, and thus never watches Dark Bunny. When his friends get suspicious, Arthur claims he only watches it with his baby sister Kate, but Francine and Buster discover him watching it alone. The next day, Francine blurts it out in front of everyone and they all tease Arthur. However, when Buster starts watching the show, too, everybody else decides to give it a chance, and they all end up watching the show together. Francine also admits (by accident) that she has seen the show before, earning her some odd looks from her friends.

Ironically, D.W. does not like The Love Ducks, even though her favorite show, Mary Moo Cow, is not any less childish than The Love Ducks, and therefore Kate is too young to watch Mary Moo Cow.

Trivia

 * The Love Ducks cartoon is animated in the style of psychedelic cartoons from the 1960s, such as the Beatles Yellow Submarine. This is meant to symbolize the "addictiveness" of the show.
 * The Love Ducks are an obvious parody of the Teletubbies and the fact that, despite being labeled as a "baby show," there were a number of older viewers who found themselves drawn to the show.
