Bored and utterly without anything interesting to do Dr Fry decides to watch an old favorite tv show of his called DuckTales. Graduating from its original Del Comics incarnation, DuckTales is a true to life story about an orphaned 3 brother family of ducks called Huey Duey and Lewie that relocated from their abusive Uncle's house (Donald) to live with their multimillionaire scottish Uncle, Scrooge McDuck that happen to live in a city called Duckburg, which was coincidentally filled with ducks.
It was an interesting city to say the least, the gross per person ratio of the majority of the populus (which were ducks) seemed to be higher then those of the minority of the populus (who happened to be dogs) often lived below the poverty line and seemed to have a high rate of blue collar jobs such as Butlering or Burglering. Though the statistics show an oddity and may imply some sort of racial bigotry in the workplace of this particular city, there is also an argument that the poverty of the different ethnic backgrounds may not be purely racial, but rather cultural, economical and even fashionable... since ducks do not wear pants as part of their culture's custom therefore spend less money on expensive pants.
Besides the city, the show focuses on the adventures of this Beverly Hills family of Ducks, Scrooge McDuck the eccentric millionaire with a fetish for for money solely for the benefits of swimming in hard metal, and Fenton a man plagued with turrets of obscure swearing words which happened to be the secret password for a mechanical (iron man style) suit that appears on him whenever he utters the words "bladder-skating-bladder-scats."
In this episode the story focuses solely on his unhealthyly clingy relationship with his mother, who happens to love TV more then him. The plot revolves around her as she is electrocuted by the television set and is suddenly able to see into the future, Scrooge McDuck the entrepreneur that he is recognizes this business venture immediately by proclaiming in his thick scottish Sean Connery accent "Hmm, I've heard of cases that bad shocks makes people psychics! Work for me and I'll give u a widescreen TV" (which probably occurs as often as people who gain superhuman powers from wallowing in radioactive waste), Fentons mother of course accepted and abandons her son. This story focuses on the morale implications of child neglect no matter what age, and immoral business practices through kidnapping blackmailing, of course by the end of the episode these issues were all resolved when Fentons mother loses her psychic abilities to another bad shock (I suppose this occurs often as well). Scrooge McDuck returns to "Making money the hard way" and Fentons mother-child relationship becomes stronger when they reach a compromise, she will go on a picnic with him as long as he brings the TV.
In Conclusion the story is rifled with morale tales and the realities of economic discourse, a series which should be taken very seriously for academic analysis and educational values for children and parents alike.
