Count Duckula

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

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!

'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.

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.

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!
