(8:00–8:30 A.M. EST)

DuckTales "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!"
(8:00–8:30 A.M. EST)
Della struggles for survival against dangerous elements of the Moon, as she looks for a way to get back to her family on Earth.
post theme:
Okay... everything about today's episode was awesome. Paget Brewster delivered one hell of a voice acting exhibition and I absolutely ADORED how they took the time to infuse Della with elements of Huey, Dewey, Louie and even Donald's personalities while still making her a unique and compelling character in her own right. This duck is hardcore and endearing in all of the best ways.
Plus, DuckTales Season 2 returns for real in May. So the hiatus won't go on for much longer.

Her singing the moon theme was pretty good.
Pretty good episode, am guessing an reencounter with her family would probably happen at some end game point (or maybe a movie would happen)

god damn
I expect we'll have to wait until the end of the season before we get some kind of reunion with her family. Introducing a mysterious alien race of moon dwellers feels like it's going to lead up to something significant, DuckTales '87 as well as all flavors of duck comics were certainly not shy in dishing out interstellar threats.
I wonder what happened to those transmissions she sent out? I'm guessing at some point in the near future the boys somehow stumble on them and kick off the 'save our mom' arc.

Damn, it was so crazy to see the captions actually say
But wonderful episode. I'd only say
OH... WOW!
"Humming to Moon Theme from NES Game"
But wonderful episode. I'd only say
The passage of time got kinda ridiculous. I mean 10 years passed without noticing the baby or the moon natives? Thought that was a stretch. I think they could've "moved on" after a year, MAYBE 5.
And oh Damn that Moon song cover <3

Maybe there's a chance that people who loved the game hasn't checked out the new cartoon yet, or maybe passed it up originally.
These are exactly my thoughts. When this reboot was announced, I was skeptical because I had such high expectations, and it's managed to exceed them beyond what I could have hoped.
Yep. That was such a brilliant reveal. I love how the show's characterized the whole McDuck family.
Whatever Happened to Della Duck?!
This was a pretty great episode for most of it, especially with regard to defining a character for Della Duck. The way the Moon Theme was integrated was neat.
Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the Moon People, and the explanation for how Della went undetected, with a single dust cloud covering her up, wasn't satisfying IMO.

It's possible, as the Moon Level from the NES game didn't have them. Unless if they are references to the aliens that exist on the space ship from that game.
Wait, so it came back for one episode and that's it? No new episode in sight? I hate cartoon scheduling so much.
The scheduling for every Disney animated series is a joke. It's just what they do.
With new episodes only a month away, one episode title (and little else) has seemingly leaked online:
DuckTales "Friendship Hates Magic!"
(Time and Date TBA)
With a conspicuous title like that, either the Kelpies are coming back or this will be the episode that finally addresses the Lena situation.

Ha, that's a pretty blatant title. I'm not sure if it being a reference will indicate anything about the content, though.
New episode titles in the wild, plus presumed airdates:
Tuesday, May 7
DuckTales "Treasure of the Found Lamp!"
Thursday, May 9
DuckTales "The 87 Cent Solution!"
Wednesday, May 15
DuckTales "Friendship Hates Magic!"
Thursday, May 16
DuckTales "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!"
omg @ two of those actually all of these are interesting
Bit of a wonky schedule, plus airing mid-week instead of the weekend. Very peculiar. No word if more episodes will air in the latter half of May... chances are this might be all there is until June. EDIT: added episode synopsis

Uhhh, you mean May right? Because April 7th would be in two da- *checks time* tomorrow.
Dont understand the schedule. Thought it would make sense if it were a new episode everyday for a week, not two new episodes twice a week...
Updated my previous post with episode descriptions. The "Violet" mentioned in one of the descriptions appears to be purple bird girl we saw on one of the slides from SDCC 2018.
Although there's no real explanation for the strange scheduling other than it's something TDC decided to do for funsies, we do have word from showrunner Frank Angones that there's been some shifting around going on for May's premieres: originally, "Friendship Hates Magic!" was set to be Episode 8 (of Season 2) but will now premiere as the 10th. As it turns out, according to Frank this change will benefit the show's pacing.
Bamboozled! It seems the previous "leak" of episodes was incomplete, as the Disney Channel press site has released the official May solicits and we now have several more episodes to add to the pot. The episode synopsii also include returning guest-stars so we now know what secondary characters will be featured that aren't exposed in the descriptions.

Im going to have to make sure I dont actually delete these as I often just deleted weekday episodes since I had record all, and with Inazuma Eleven Areas going too, running out of DVR slots.
There are some interesting episodes coming up. I really didn't expect Della to get more episodes before the season finale.
I believe it. The same solicits omitted all of Star Vs.'s May episodes save for the series finale even though we know they're coming.
Thanks to those tweets we've now got the episode title and airdate for May 8th. Slowly but surely we're starting to fill in those gaps in the lineup.
EDIT: TDC promo w/ some quick shots from future DuckTales episodes.

Seems "Friendship Hates Magic!" had aired today in the Netherlands, thus all the spoilers floating around on social media. As I understand it the whole episode can be found online in Dutch, but only a single snippet was recorded in English. I won't be linking it here since it's not an official release.
EDIT: officially-sanctioned episode list + mystery-sode
I've just now realized Della's episodes air before and after Mother's Day... I wonder if this is what TDC was going for and why Friendship Hates Magic was delayed by several episodes.

"Treasure of the Found Lamp" is already up on DisneyNOW and I'm so glad this show is back. I missed it so much. This was a very fun episode.
It's also very distracting that I've started watching Bojack Horseman since it went on hiatus since Gladstone and Mr. Peanutbutter sound exactly the same. Ha ha.
