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?

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

Found a YT Channel with full episodes

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.

[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.

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
