'''''Sitting Ducks''''' is a CGI television series that spawned from the iconic lithograph of the exact same name, via [[Sitting Ducks (literature)|the children's book of the exact same name]]. It mainly centers around a [[The Messiah|good-natured]] duck named Bill, who establishes an unusual friendship with an alligator named Aldo. Said friendship is challenged by both the seperate divisions between ducks and alligators (Ducktown and Swampwood, respectively) and the obvious idea of [[Fantastic Racism|ducks and alligators being unable to establish any kind of friendship]]. The two of them end up in the usual [[Slice of Life]] affair, dealing with the three slackers next door to Bill, enduring complications that [[Power of Friendship|test their friendship]], among other hijinks. Originally shown in 2001 in Europe and was later brought to [[Cartoon Network]], as well as ABC in both Australia and Japan. It proved to be a surprisingly successful series in Europe, and is somewhat well-received in the US as well.
Not to be confused with [[Sitting Ducks (film)|the 1980 film that competed at Cannes]].

Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Mind Screw]]: Bill explaining the rules of Squaddo to Aldo, in addition to the very game itself.
* [[Only Six Faces]]: All the ducks look the same apart from what they wear. The alligators have it a bit worse.
** Even [[lampshaded]] by Bev herself in a flashback when people keep mistaking Bill for multiple people.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: To blend in with a duck picnic, Aldo wears a mask... and that's it. No attempt at hiding his huge, green body or teeth. And it ''works!''
** Also done during Bill's family game night when they're playing Squaddo.
