‘Throwback Thursday’: Darkwing Duck

Happy Thursday everyone! We are already at another ‘Throwback Thursday’! This week has really flown by! I was at a recent convention called ‘Monsters and Trucks’ and I came across this gentlemen who had all these retro television shows on DVD. It was pretty much a ‘Throwback Thursday’ fanatics playground aka… my playground. When I walked up to the table, I couldn’t help but hear a very familiar theme song playing. Now what theme song was that, may you ask? It was none other than the theme song for the classic, amazing show Darkwing Duck!
