Count Duckula (1988–1993) User Reviews

" If you're looking for some fun, you can always count upon..."

[anxietyresister · 8/10 · 31 August 2006]

Immediately after Dangermouse, David Jason recorded the voice for a TV series based loosely on one of the spin-off characters from the programme. This would be a vegetarian duck who comes from a long lineage of nasty vampires who are resurrected every 100 years by using an ancient incantation and a bottle of blood. Sadly, there is a slight mishap with this particular ceremony and instead of a bloodthirsty creature from the deep, we get a egotistical music-loving weakling who enjoys nothing better than munching on piece of celery. Together with his stupid but tough nanny and his shady butler Igor, he lives in a dark castle on a mountain in Transylvania called appropriately enough 'Castle Duckula' from where he can teleport around the world by simply entering a magic crypt. These zany adventures last for 4 series, and the plots get every weirder and whackier...

Possessing much the same sense of humour as it's better known predecessor, this is one of those classic cartoon series from your childhood that you're never likely to forget. It had the lot: Colourful animation, witty story lines, off-the-wall characters and a GREAT theme tune. Having just purchased the first season on DVD, I was very surprised about how well it held up, and I look forward to spending 11 hours (according to the box) reacquainting myself with an old favourite. If only the likes of Nickelodian would look at 'Count Duckula' today and take some notes... don't patronise children with endless cheesy action and stupid morals, THIS is how it's done. Now its time for me to go but... "Goodnight out there, whatever you are!!" ;) 8/10

My Opinion

[leah-21775 · 7/10 · 23 January 2021]

Great show. I recommend it to everyone. It is almost as good as Danger Mouse. I think it is probably one of the greatest British shows ever made.

Saluting the duck

[girlingreen · 8/10 · 21 March 2005]

It's good to see Cosgrove-Hall creators poking fun at the old Dracula movies through this classic cartoon series.

The basic plot line, if you don't already know it, concerns the misadventures of a vegan vampire duck , an outstanding blot on the escutcheon of a proud bloodthirsty race of vampire ducks. Count Duckula is helped or hindered by the Family's fiercely loyal butler with as big a bloodlust as his masters of old, not to mention an amiable if very accident prone giant chicken named Nanny.

The cartoons creators make use of every and any situation to wring the maximum jokes and puns as only Cosgrove and Hall know best. See clichés of the horror movies put through the spoof grinder. A absolute classic of the 80's genre, and well worth a watch.

"If only real life were like this" - Count Duckula

Very Entertaining

[Big Movie Fan · 9 June 2002]

This is one cartoon show which I used to rush home from work to try and catch at times. It was a spin-off from the hilarious Danger Mouse and it was truly funny.

I mean, how can anyone hate a cartoon starring a vampire duck...that was a vegetarian? Who can forget the lumbering Igor or Nanny who permanently wore an arm sling?

Duckula himself was just amazing-he came out with some really funny lines throughout the series and the stories were very good indeed and far superior to today's cartoons which are very poor (sorry kids).

Check out Duckula if you can.

What on earth has happened to this gem of a show?

[TheLittleSongbird · 10/10 · 20 May 2009]

I loved this when I was kid, it was funny, intelligent and well-animated. David Jason brilliantly voiced Count Duckula(I didn't know it was him at first), don't let the accent throw you. I liked the idea of a vampire duck, very original. There were also some excellent supporting characters, well voiced by the likes of Jack May and co. The plots were clever and funny, the theme tune was great and the scripts were a gem. I loved this when I was a kid, and at the moment I can think of at least seven animated shows that have disappeared suddenly, and should be brought back. They are Peter Pan and the Pirates, Ducktales, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Danger Mouse Darkwing Duck, Talespin and this, I would honestly pick these gems over the awfully-animated cartoons like Shaggy and Scooby Get a Clue! and Pokemon. All in all, if you haven't seen this already, and if you see it anywhere, watch it. Nothing much else to say, other than a 10/10. Bethany Cox

A classic animated series.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 24 February 2023]

An age old ceremony to bring back Vampire Duck, Count Duckula goes wrong, and he returns as a vegetarian. This series tells of the scrapes he and his servants Igor and Nanny get into.

Count Duckula took over where Danger Mouse left off, and just with that show, this has appeal for all ages, kids will of course love the wealth of characters and zany storylines, adults with apple the jokes and one liners, some definitely that would to over the heads of youngsters, and some of the quite macabre ideas.

For a kid's cartoon, there are some quite grizzly goings on, it's not classed as a comedy horror series for nothing.

Many episodes reference classic stories and fables, those are the ones I think work best, expect to see Jekyll and Hyde, Jack and The Beanstalk, and many more.

David Jason and co are fantastic, there's such a wealth to the accents.

I adore the three main characters, each provides the laughs, Nanny is outrageously funny. Whenever you hear 'I'll get it,' it's side splitting.

I'm surprised this show doesn't have more of a cult following, it seems to only be known by those of a certain age. To my mind it's never appeared on any platforms, and that's a shame.

A classic, 9/10.

Sharp, Snappy, and Satirical

[Gaos · 10/10 · 22 May 2006]

I don't often rate things a pure 10, but I may have to with Duckula. It's one of my favourite cartoons _ever_. Unlike many of the other posters here, I didn't run into it in my childhood, but instead in my teenage years--a perfect time, as that's when I was twisting into the sarcastic, British-humour-loving, slightly Gothic science fiction/fantasy geek I am now. It was EXACTLY what I was in the mood for, and my brain just ate it up. I've seen a lot of cartoons, and no other show gets quoted _half_ as much by me or members of my family, as Duckula. Over a decade since we were able to last see an episode, and we'll still toss out random lines whenever we feel like it.

What makes it not only good as a children's cartoon, but so very appealing to the older child or adult's mind? Simple--the writing. It was simply one of the snappiest, wittiest things I've ever seen. You have goofy puns and Abbott-and-Costello back-and-forths. You have colourful, bizarre characters and time-and-space travelling adventures to exotic locations. You have vampires and a creepy castle, for those to whom the Gothic elements might appeal. And even some slapstick that small children can understand and laugh at. It had everything.

And, on a more "serious" note, the writing was good because it didn't fall into stereotypes. Duckula was a monstrous fiend...who wasn't monstrous. But not a saint either; he had _lots_ of personality faults! Dr. Von Goosewing, the vampire hunter, would NORMALLY be a good guy, but in this situation he's cast as the antagonist! (Notice I don't say "villian".) He's also a mad scientist, which is even more fun. Occasionally we'd get an episode in which we would learn something about the background/past of a main character, or see a _real_ vampire, an actual bloodsucking fiend--the show didn't take itself too seriously, but that grain of seriousness in there makes the comedy that much better.

Put all that together with lovely detailed backgrounds, appropriate music, wonderful voice-acting from all involved, the delightfully creepy narrator and his classic sign-off line, and, as a cherry on top, the occasionally goofy credits, and you've got a classic for the ages.

You needn't be sanguine to enjoy this show...

[Theshapeshifter · 10/10 · 10 April 2006]

This show is an instant classic for those who enjoy the older forms of British humor of fellows in odd predicaments. The show's humor is craftily done in terms of timing and puns. And overall, it is the ideal show for the fans of the older cartoons in the days of oddball humor. The story centers on a "vampire" duck by the moniker of Duckula who isn't actually a vampire; he's a strict vegetarian, much to the chagrin of his servant, Igor, who insists that Duckula must be a vampire, like his ancestors. Duckula and Igor live in the despairingly gloomy Castle Duckula, which is attended by Duckula's nanny, who goes by her job's name: Nanny, and who is massively strong. The three have their odd adventures and try to make the most of their frequent trips to other areas of the Earth, while dodging villains and pestilences like the dreaded Dr. Von Goosewing, the Crow Brothers, Gaston and Pierre, and a host of other troublemakers. All in all, the show is most amusing for both cartoon lovers and any comedy/horror lover.

i'll get it!

[SmashMonkey · 10/10 · 20 August 2006]

being a massive fan of dangermouse, i had seen duckula before he got his own series. i was so glad that he did! growing up in the 80's, everybody i knew loved duckula and, despite being called nanny for 5 years by a boy who could imitate Igor's voice quite scarily well, so did i. the silliness of the show, which would have seemed tacky anywhere else, worked perfectly. the characters were marvellous and the whole show was wickedly funny. watching duckula's old retainer Igor trying to turn him from a vegetarian into the bloodthirsty fiend he was meant to be always made me feel slightly sorry for the spooky old butler. nanny (the nanny) crashed her way through every scene she was in, with her frilly cap and arm in a sling, ready to hand out broccoli lollipops and over-enthusiastic hugs. duckula's thirst for fame, rather than blood, led him and his entourage on many crazy adventures in their teleporting castle, which would always return to its transylvanian mountain-top at dawn, with or without its inhabitants. of course, every vampire has his nemesis, and duckula's was doctor Von goosewing who, along with his invisible assistant heinrich, would do his very best to destroy duckula. the writing was sharp and always funny, the title music was perfection and the show as a whole was a rare treat for children (and adults) of all ages which will never be bettered. a perfect 10 in every way.

A creative and intelligent cartoon for all ages!

[insomniac_rod · 4 June 2005]

"Count Duckula" is a GREAT cartoon in all the sense of the word. It has great dialogs backed up by black humor, and inventive lines. The situations are very entertaining and keep the viewer interested the whole time. The humor is very light but manages to make laugh kids and adults. Duckula has the best lines but Nanny and Igor add a lot to the cartoon with their weird sense of humor. On one hand, Nanny is involuntarily funny, and on the other, Igor is wicked and mean but it makes him look funny. The supporting characters are great also.

The intro song is a classic! And the closing credits are memorable. I recently catched this hidden gem on Mexican local channels. Every Saturday 2 episodes of Duckula are shown and I truly enjoy them. This is one of the best cartoons ever produced mainly because it's humor is for everyone.

Please watch this cartoon, you won't regret. It has a great and inventive story that will get your attention.

Good show

[Catherine_Grace_Zeh · 9/10 · 4 May 2006]

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. When I think about it, I only remember it vaguely, though. If you ask me, it was a good show. Two things I remember pretty well are the opening sequence and theme song. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

An Animated Television Masterpiece

[DragStrip · 10/10 · 23 December 2007]

"Count Duckula" is my all time favourite cartoon, and I believe it to be one of the very best too. I loved it as a very young kid but I doubt I could have appreciated just how special it actually is. Cosgrove Hall produced 65 episodes of consistent quality over a remarkably short period of time. The weakest episode of Duckula would be the highlight of many another TV series. The animation varies a little, it was obviously worked on by more than one company. At its best it was about as good as TV animation ever got. At its worst it was far above average. The backgrounds in particular are immaculate, with imagery that was often witty or spooky. But what makes this show truly special is the comedy. The show is frequently, hysterically, funny; even after multiple viewings. Not only that but the humour goes into territories often overlooked in cartoons, it is primarily verbal humour with frequent diversions into black and surreal comedy.

If I have not described the show well enough it is mostly because I could never do it justice. Thankfully, we live in a world where all 65 episodes are available, at quite affordable prices too, on DVD. Even if you think you are too old for cartoons, you are not too old for "Count Duckula". Believe me!

Just plain Brilliant!

[ian-1211 · 9/10 · 19 December 2006]

Cosgrove Hall (makers of "Danger Mouse") does it again with this marvellous spin-off series about a vampire duck who only sucks on broccoli sandwiches? Count Duckula of course! After being know for centuries as a callous, blood-sucking fiend, he has another reincarnation by his faithful butler, Igor the vulture and his bumbling maid, Nanny the hen who of which his revival goes to pot after Nanny gives Igor tomato ketchup instead of blood and turns him into a mild-mannered, cowardly mishap! Now with this transporting machine and his chatting bats figures on his cloak, he goes on many strange adventures around the world but also has to escape the clutches of Dr. Van Goosewing, a vampire hunter who wants to see the end of Duckula! Featuring the voice of David Jason, this is another masterpiece from the creators of "Alias the Jester" and so you should go and buy the first season three disc box set right now and sign a petition for this to return of terrestrial television because you won't find another vampire zanier than DUCKULA! 9/10

For me best cartoon ever!!

[maftik · 9/10 · 17 May 2005]

Count Duckula, main "hero" of animated series by British studio Cosgrove Hall, is the world's only vegetarian vampire (duck), who lives at his castle Duckula in Transylvania. Because of mistake in re-incarnation ritual (using of ketchup instead of bat wing blood) he is not a villain, he hates blood, loves vegetables and his biggest wish is to became famous. He has a butler called Igor who's biggest wish is to have his master in old evil blood-sucking ways, and housewife Nanny, big hen, who has little brain but wide heart, go through the wall when entering some room and endlessly loves his "Duckypoos". Often there is doctor Von Goosewing, left vampire hunter, whose only wish is to kill Duckula. There are two mot bats Sviatoslav and Dimitri, who comment current events in each episode. And of course there is narrator, who at the beginning and at the end of each episode tries – with lightly ironical tone – to make an effect that we are watching a true horror.

Man, it cannot be explained how I LOVED (and still love) this show! Maybe it is/was because of some kind of my little fascination by vampires. Here at Czech republic it was only twice on TV and only first 6 (!!!) eps was aired. When I heard at the end of sixth episode that this one is the last, I thought that the world just came to end – I was really unhappy. Count Duckula very well mixed various styles of humor – English, based on animated gags and "darkgray". "Heros" of the series aren't strictly separated to good and bad, which makes the series less typical. I think Duckula can be very well viewed by "older kids" and adults too ("Town hall terrors" is good example). I maybe would not recommend it to children under six (for example episode 3 "one stormy night" could be little horrific for them). Voices of all characters are simply great and so is the opening and ending theme song. And I haven't seen more amusing (ending) captions than this ones.

For me this is the best cartoon ever. There is also one (and I hope not the last) DVD with first six episodes, so question "buy it or no" has only one possible answer – YES! And now there are good news! Read this: http://80scartoons.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=321 It seems that we will have American DVD edition of first series this year!!

Count of Fun

[hellraiser7 · 10/10 · 22 August 2022]

This is another of my personal favorite animated shows of all time. I was a kid from the 80's I remember watching this show in the early years of Nickelodeon at my Aunt's place when I was about six years old, I really had a blast with it. The show was actually a big hit at the time, however this show has flown under the cracks of time making it a forgotten gem.

I really like the animation which of course is in the same style as "Danger Mouse" another forgotten gem (and a show I reviewed) which makes sense as this was done by the same people that made that show. But that's fine by me as I personally wouldn't want it any other way as it really gives the show the comic flair.

From the character designs to even the background, I really like the design of the castle which looks menacingly cool with its gothic texture that you would commonly see in most of the yesteryear Victorian horror. But it's also kind of comical as it looks like a place that doesn't look to stable as some parts of the structure look as though they could fall at any moment.

The music is great, I really love the intro which is one of my personal favorite theme songs and intros to TV ever, which I feel is sorely missing these days. The beauty of the intros was that they really helped you get into what your about to watch and this does it with perfection. This is also one of the most unique intros also as it seems like it's going to be one thing, but it turns out to be another, which perfectly fits the nature of this show.

It starts out kind of scary with that Vincent Price like narrator delivering the narration. Making it feel like Vampire Ducks are a threat to be taken seriously but also felt like there might be a prequel stories there as it's mentioned Vampire Ducks come out different centuries. We of course hear of the formation of our main protagonist where it seems like were in deep trouble, but then of course something happens which you could call a miracle. After that we then have a rocking song that you can dance to with that spooky announcement of the title.

And then of course there is the outro which is another I can just dance to but also has some interesting black and white picture graphics with animation, almost looks like something Tim Burton could've done but once again fits the show well. The animation presentation is great it's the same style as the one from "Danger Mouse" which is fine by me as I wouldn't want it any other way and fits the comical nature of the show. The humor is also great in both visual and verbal humor, as usual with British comedy they just excel in verbal humor, the dialog is just hilarious as there are so many memorable lines and jokes that it will take more than one watch per episode to uncover most to all of them. This show also has a two way effect much, because as a kid there are probably some jokes you might not have gotten or passed you by, but when you view this show as an adult watching them again I find the episodes and show to be even funnier because I now was able to catch the jokes I missed.

I really like the premise which makes sense for the time the show came out as the Vampire genre in horror became big again in the 80's with films like "Fright Night" and "The Lost Boys" which were both also horror comedies in a way. And, even the Parody genre for Comedy movies from films like "Spaceballs" and "The Naked Gun". This show is basically a parody show, which makes is cool as it means creative freedom but exercised right. I really like how it parodies on the horror genre from the Vampire genre most notably the films from the Hammer company.

But I really like how it parodies on other genres mainly the sci-fi genre. In fact, you can say this show is kind of a parody on "Doctor Who" in disguise. When you think about it it makes sense, from our main protagonist Count Ducukla whom is you can say is a Time Lord as he is the latest version from his previous incarnations. The two-character Igor and Nanny are obviously the companions. And of course, the castle itself is the Tardis as it can travel in time, space, and all dimensions in the universe. How the heck they would have the sophisticated tech to do that is anyone's guess, but I personally didn't care it was a show you roll with it.

Really like the characters who bounce off each other well. From Nanny who is pretty much the third wheel flunky architype as she's well kind of a bird brain literally considering she's a humanoid bird. But she's loveable and is in a way really the good angel for Duckula, her character despite poor for brains has the biggest heart in the right place. She true to her title as she takes good care of her master, though overdoes it sometimes and does keep things tidy or as best she can with her abilities or lack there off. Her character I always thought might have either been a mutant or android one of the former Duckula's built but incomplete with her arm that's always in a cast which you can say reflects her impaired psyche. But her character has superstrength as she crashes though wall and can beat the crap out of anyone, which you can say makes Nanny also the muscle of the group.

Igor is also great as he's the right-hand man archetype as well as bad angel figure for Duckula. Really like the voice which sounds like actor Christopher Lee, which is an ironic reference. It's just funny how dry and droll he is. He is very much determined to steer his master into the path of wrong considering his former master went that way. Of course, he never succeeds considering the latest incarnation of Duckula wants to do his thing, but mainly of two factors Igor himself who should have considered the wrong path isn't the right one considering what happened to his former master in the end. Let alone Igor really isn't that good in the villain role or that he's probably not as bad as he thinks.

Count Ducukla himself voiced well by underrated voice actor David Jason. Really love the character as he sort of reminds me a little of actor David Tennant (if they ever make a revival wouldn't mind him doing this role). His character is just loveable as he is energetic even like that his character has a bit of common sense as being a vampire and sucking blood is the last thing he wants to do, and he can't do that as he's not really a complete vampire but a vegetarian.

He's adventures and has big dreams though that dream is mainly getting rich quick to reestablish his dynasty. Of course, in each episode nothing ever goes right though it's not always his fault or bad luck, but mainly because the world around him is nuts which is true as no one is normal in the world he lives in. It's just funny seeing how he reacts and how he struggles to straighten things out but, in a world, gone mad his efforts bear no fruit and of course in the end he just gets a tremendous amount of grief.

Which makes him a bit of a sad clown as we can sort of emphasize with him a little as it's true with us as there are times in our lives where things didn't go right or the way we want and how we did always do our best to make things straight again, so we can have piece of mind once more, though shame that doesn't always apply to Duckula.

This animated classic flies high.

Rating: 4 stars.

Strategic Genius

[CocaCola18 · 17 June 2003]

So Danger Mouse comes to an end...

What do you do?

All agree that it was a good ride while it lasted?

Make a living out of all those "I Love the 80's" programmes talking about it

Or do you get up and make another classic cartoon!

David Jason returned for more cartoon goodness, the bloke is a god! This time we watch the world of a Vampire Duck living with Igor and his Nanny... with the DUCKY-POOS line...GOLD! And who can forget the other characters Van Goosewing and those Cuckoo clock characters....

FANTASTIC

Duck vampire?

[nikkebaby · 8/10 · 28 April 2020]

This show is Great 👍! I've only seen 3 Episodes but know this is great!

Finally, a spinoff show that gets things right!

[Angel_Meiru · 28 May 2004]

Normally, I am rather sceptical about spinoffs. There were usually spin-offs on either obnoxious characters (Teenage Pebbles and Bam-Bam show) or ones that are just too painful to watch (Daria). But the creators of "Danger Mouse" have done something right though. They made a spin off on the occasional Count Duckula character and fleshes out his personality a bit more.

Here, Count Duckula hates blood and loves veggies, but the problem is that he occasionally gets attacked by veggie monsters *L*. Alongside Duckula are the prudish Igor and the clumsy and clutzy Nanny. Together, in their time and space travelling castle, go to various worlds to retrive as much as they could find. However, somethimes they end up forgetting to go back to the castle and end up in the world, but somehow, in the next episode, magically make it back.

Like Danger Mouse, Count Duckula can be found on DVD on ebay or amazon.com. Go fetch it!

I finally saw one of the episodes again!

[SSJAniFan · 28 July 2003]

My first review was based on blurred childhood memories, since it was a long time since I last saw the show. Now, with me able to see some of the old episodes on a DVD I bought at the comic con, does it meet the expectations I had from my childhood times? YOU BET!

Man, the show's hilarious. There's Duckula, Egor, Nanny, who literally comes through the door, and those two bats that I remembered. Man, the jokes in this show were great! The "whomightyoube," gag in, "No Sax Please, We're Egyptian," was so funny!

And for people who put in "something something" in the lyrics, the first line in the theme song is: "In the heart of Transylvania, in the vampire hall of fame, yeah, there's not a vampire zanier than DUCKULA!" Great stuff. A must-see.

BOTTOM LINE: Funny! I like it even more than Danger Mouse!

One of the best cartoons of the past 2 decades.

[dead_dudeINthehouse · 29 June 2003]

Superb! Hilarious! Cute? This tv cartoon was part of my childhood, it was like a part of me! I can't describe how much I enjoyed this cartoon. It's humoristic situations and dialogues make this a winner. Ahhh, these sweet memories of the childhood. If you have the chance to watch this great cartoon well give yourself the opportunity you won't regret. Long live Count Duckula!

A remarkable animated TV show with dark humor

[Atreyu_II · 15 October 2007]

'Count Duckula' is a classic animated show with dark humor. It's an enjoyable, eccentric and original cartoon. It's one of those cartoons I grew up with during my infant days.

This TV show has a dark atmosphere and takes place in a spooky castle where the main protagonists of this TV show live: the count Duckula, the butler Igor and the nanny (whose name is unknown) with an arm sling.

However, there's nothing scary about this TV show. As a matter of fact, this is a funny and hilarious TV show, more humorous than dark.

Count Duckula is a different kind of vampire: he doesn't like blood - instead, he is a vegetarian and he's often "chicken". He's also hyperactive and very talkative. Count Duckula is a great character and I can say the same about Igor and the nanny. Plus, as a kid I had a neighbor and friend named Igor and, even if it's just because of the name Igor, I can't help remembering this guy when I think of the butler Igor.

This TV show has simple but nice designs and backgrounds, as well as a great dark atmosphere, classic humor, a good song at the opening credits and an ever better version of the same song in the final credits. The ending credits themselves are better than the opening ones, because they are funnier and stranger - we can see some eccentric and bizarre images during them, images that also makes one laugh. Plus, I always loved to see the Tames TV Productions ident which always appeared after the final credits. It shows a beautiful sight of London city and you can even see the city's reflex on the water, which only makes it more beautiful to watch.

Good show. They don't make 'em like this any longer.

I remember this show!

[dootuss · 21 January 2002]

I loved this show when I was a kid. It was a very entertaining. The characters were funny (especially our Veggie loving vampire duck, and Nanny), and the episodes were cleverly written. I remember laughing out loud when Von Goosewing would go after Count Duckla. I think they should bring this back on television as well as the show it spun off from which was the equally funny "Danger Mouse" Besides you can't get enough of Count Duckula! 10/10.

IT'S ON DVD?! WHERE, WHERE?!

[SSJAniFan · 4 July 2003]

It's been so long since I've seen an episode of Count Duckula. So long in fact, that I barely remember anything about it, but thanks to the few comic book issues I have I still have it in my memory. The only thing I seem to remember is I loved the show and would always watch it when I can. Now, I've read some of the comments and they say it's on DVD. I hope it's true, and not just some cruel joke, because I really want to see this cool series again.

Why didn't more people rate this?!

[rcostello · 27 August 2001]

This is one of my favourite television programmes ever I used to watch when I was but a little kiddie- I liked it then-but lately I've had the chance to see it again and I liked it even more this time-some of it is funny on 2 levels so I get it now and some is just funny for everyone-if it ever comes back on to sky again you have to watch and if you've never seen it before you're missing something great.

Cartoon humor at its best!

[OWUbear · 1 April 2002]

This show was lots of fun, mostly because I remember the antics of Nanny, the undying chase of count Duckula by Von Goosewing and his invisible assistant Heinriech (almost like Javert chasing Jean Valjean)and of course, the Count's crazy castle. That always made me laugh, and for a while, I was "ducky-boos" to my mother. I remembered it when I had a broken arm, for now I was Nanny, not the illustrious Count. Why it isn't on tv anymore I can't fathom, but it's still a classic.
