wants to watch DuckTales Season 1
"Remember: No tricks, no lies, no trouble!"
"Yes, Uncle Donald!"
"I wasn't talking to *you*!"

This scene is extremely important for setting the storytelling context for this show. From the start, it is made clear that Scrooge and Donald have a *history* with each other. And the triplets - as both newcomers to this world of craziness and as the most common viewpoint characters - spend much of the first season and parts of later seasons figuring this history out.

This is also one of the major storytelling differences between the 2017 version of DuckTales and the first incarnation. In 1987m tv shows rarely did extended storylines, and cartoons almost never. But in DuckTales 2017, both the characters and the status quo go through some real changes as more mysteries are unveiled.
