Series Description:

The Duck Factory TV show was a 30 minute comedy series on NBC about a young, inexperienced cartoonist with no self-confidence who created a cartoon TV show. There was a lot of silly comedy with goofy characters. The cartoonist was played by a (at the time) pretty much unknown Jim Carrey.

Duck Factory Trivia:

In the first episode, the owner of the low budget studio that Skip worked for died and the Dippy Duck Show was almost canceled.

Jim Carrey realized that he wanted to be a comedy star at a very young age. At just 10-years-old, he mailed his resume to "The Carol Burnett Show".

Animators actually produced Dippy Duck cartoons that aired during the Duck Factory TV show episodes and some of them were pretty funny!

The Duck Factory TV show won two Emmys in 1984, one for "Outstanding Art Direction for a Series" on the pilot episode and another for "Outstanding Individual Achievement - Graphic Design and Title Sequences" on episode #2, "Filling Buddy's Shoes".

Although "Bosom Buddies" lasted a lot longer, it does have similarities to Duck Factory in that they were both mediocre to poor series that highlighted an extremely talented comedian who would go on to mega-stardom! The Duck Factory TV show launched Jim Carrey's career and Bosom Buddies launched Tom Hanks' career!
