Premiering in 1987, DuckTales didn’t just entertain kids after school. It invited them into a world of adventure, curiosity, history, danger, humor, and heart—and it trusted its audience to keep up. That trust is why it still matters.

From its chilling opening credits to the unforgettable chemistry between its leads, The X-Files, this 1993 phenomenon became a cultural touchstone that still echoes in today’s pop culture. With its unforgettable motto—“Trust No One”—the show captivated audiences with its potent mix of science fiction, horror, conspiracy, and human drama, stretching across 11 seasons, two films, multiple spin-offs, crossovers, a revival, and now an upcoming new series.
