Trivia / The Duck Factory

• Out of Order: The show was rendered a complete and total hash by the network airing the episodes out of order. The first episode ended with a cliffhanger — which was then completely ignored, so they could air the eighth episode instead. Sheree was the receptionist in this episode, but then became the receptionist in episode four. Skip was promoted to producer, but then subsequent episodes had him ping-ponging between being producer, and low-ranking apprentice animator, with no explanation as to the reason for Skip's constant change of status. And the episode that resolved the episode 1 cliffhanger? It aired as episode 13. The show had already made the bewildering decision to cast Jim Carrey as the straight-arrow straight man, and also didn't seem to have any idea as to how cartoons were made (or how they could be made funny), but airing the story wildly Out Of Order really helped kill it after only half a season.
• Prop Recycling: The Dippy Duck lamp has shown up on other shows, most notably in Newman's apartment on Seinfeld.
