I actually never liked it, even as a kid.

I've caught some episodes recently on a streaming site I watch, and I still don't like it very much.

Isn't the entire joke based on the idea that he's a vegan vampire and his servants are annoyed by that?

[ZariusTwo]

His appearances on Danger Mouse were better, but I was addicted to this show as a kid in the 90s. Never missed it.

The castle could teleport, I thought that was awesome.

His cameo appearance on the long forgotten Victor and Hugo was pretty much one of the first instances I experienced proper nostalgia at an early age.

Only his Butler Igor, who served him in his previous blood-thirsty existence, was irritated by it and often schemed to restore him. His Nanny loved him unconditionally, but Duckula often took her for granted.

Loved it as a kid - that intro was awesome - but I don't think I've seen it in like 30 years or more so I have no idea what I'd think now.

I also loved Danger Mouse, and originally had no idea that's where Count Duckula originated from, or that they'd crossed over or however it worked, so when I finally saw that episode as a kid it rather threw me for a loop.

[Prowler]

I really liked it when I was a kid. A duck vampire who doesn't drink blood? Pretty fun concept.

But I don't remember many details from it. I don't remember any episodes in particular or anything like that. It's one of those cartoons from my childhood that I've never revisited.

They even have the same voice actor

Forgot Duckula was voiced by the same guy as Danger Mouse. Was there ever a reason given why they gave Duckula an American accent?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I enjoyed danger mouse and duckula as a kid, but I mostly watched them whilst waiting for a more desired show to start. :D

[drgon78]

So what were those more desired shows?

I love the episode where Duckula opens up the castle to the public to make money and Igor keeps sending them to the "sauna" that turns out to be the dungeon/torture chamber.

[drgon78]

Almost a year later...

Who owns the rights to this one?

Is this show streaming anywhere?

No clue, and also no that I'm aware of, which is a damn shame. Same as how it didn't get decent dvd release

[Walkabout]

I loved this show (and Danger Mouse) as a kid.
Even my mother used to get a laugh out of it.

I still use the Nanny voice around the house

One of my favorite episodes is were Duckula opens the castle to the public to make money and Igor keeps sending them to the gym and sauna(aka dungeon).

We’re not even sure who has the rights to do what with it lol and no

[drgon78]

So it's in rights hell, that is sad.

[ZariusTwo]

He was a part of the 2015 revival of Danger Mouse, at one point CBBC had the rights and were going to produce a new spin-off, then someone else got the rights and the DM reboot was cancelled after only 99 episodes.

hmm, I was wondering why that was so short.

first few episodes where rather good. But I DON'T Like how they made everyone human sized and got rid of the humans. took something away from the secret spy angle.

Oh man, I used to love this show as a kid! I remember it airing on Nickelodeon back in the 80s. It was fun to watch, but I will admit that I don't remember too much about it...just that I liked it. Now my mother would watch it along with me sometimes and she seemed to like the show more than I did. I remember her liking the Nanny character. Oh, and because of this show, I learned what a vegetarian was.

Nickelodeon was pretty interesting in the 80s, still trying to get its footing and identity. They still showed imported series at the time from Canada, Japan, the UK, Spain, etc., some of which were dubs, like David the Gnome, the Mysterious Cities of Gold, Noozles, Adventure of the Little Koala, Mapletown, etc. The good old days. :D

[TheCanadiandrome]

Now Nickelodeon is a shell of itself

[drgon78]

I agree, they are a shell of their former self but so are most channels....and companies in general.

[KROW]

So anyone else a fan of this 80's cartoon?

Yup. Used to watch it every day, would quote it to a buddy who loved it, and sang the outro theme together. Igor was our favorite character since he was so sardonic and we loved to parrot his voice.

I remember watching this and Danger Mouse a lot, too. Even the Bananaman shorts. Loved them all.

Oh, man, thanks for this. I watch Danger Mouse on Netflix and got bummed Duckula wasn't on there, also.

[TheCanadiandrome]

It’s because of all the stupid digital platforms coming out. Hulu and Netflix started something and now everyone figures that they need one to and it’s slowing killing cable and it’s pissing me off because I’m still a cable subscriber, yes contrary to popular belief there are still some of us left, and they need to realize that not anyone can or wants to switch over to these digital platforms, specially when they don’t always offer the same programming that regular satellite or cable offer

[drgon78]

I do hate streaming and digital only crap but that is the way things are goings.

ye it's hard to say how things will be in a few years. WWE just said they're ceasing all physical media releases heading into 2024, which, imo, they're kinda scewing themselves by doin so, as alot of wrestling fans still like to buy physical copies of shows

[drgon78]

Has anyone seen this on streaming and/or TV in recent years?
