Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: Castle Duckula. Home for many centuries to a terrible dynasty of vicious vampire ducks. The counts of Duckula! Legend has it that these foul beings can be destroyed by a stake through the heart, or exposure to sunlight. This does *not* suffice, however, for they may be brought back to life, by means of a secret rite, that can be performed once a century when the moon is in the eighth house of Aquarius.
Igor: [performing ritual] ... we need... blood.
Nanny: I'll get it!
Narrator: The latest reincarnation did not run according to plan.

I finally saw one of the episodes again!

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!
