'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.

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

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.
