Count Duckula - The Complete First Season

You know, I was a little apprehensive at first. I bought this dvd set after having not seen any Count Duckula since I was at least 10 years old. Now, at 27 ripe years of age, I wondered if my memories of the cartoon hadn't just maybe exaggerated the true quality of it just a little bit. Did I remember a show, or did I just THINK that I remembered it?My fears have been allayed after only watching the first couple of episodes. The cartoon is just as clever and silly as I remembered it to be. To those who are unfamiliar with Count Duckula, there are some things you should know: first off - you MUST enjoy terrible puns, delivered in an understated British manner. Such as: "Where is Igor with that bread? He must be a loafer." Get it? If not, then this show may not be for you.Second, this show is just as good as DangerMouse, in my opinion. Cosgrove Hall has made some amazingly creative cartoons, all done with a cheekiness and subtle brilliance that must be commended. I imagine the studio as the kind of place where the animators and writers have a lot of great fun, and it translates into the cartoons.Third, that theme song, man. Buy the DVD just for the theme song.I'm so glad that this set came out. And just in case you're wondering, the picture and sound quality are VERY good, considering this is a cartoon that has been largely lost (though not forgotten) for 15-20 years or so. If you have any fond memories of Count Duckula - any whatsoever - don't hesitate to purchase this dvd set. You will NOT be disappointed.

its great to own Count Duckula because I have missed this show so much back in the day Count Duckula was originally aired on Nickelodeon along with Danger Mouse too bad they only released the complete first season of Count Duckula on DVD because they have never released the complete second season of Count Duckula on DVD as well as the complete third season of Count Duckula on DVD and the complete final season of Count Duckula on DVD in America because I think that it's one of those cartoons that came out in England instead of America and in other words Count Duckula is a great show gotta love the characters from Count Duckula such as Duckula himself the lovable Nanny and Duckula's butler himself Igor Nanny calls Duckula as Duckyboos and I can tell the difference that the whole story of Count Duckula is loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel classic book Dracula but Duckula is just a Vegetarian Vampire Duck because in the heart of Transylvania in the vampire hall of fame yeah because none of the vampires zanier than Duckula

This collection is wonderful to own. I have long considered Duckula to be a high watermark of 20th Century culture. I have chosen Igor to be my role model to follow in most tense situations calling for dignity and tact. Duckula himself is a paragon of joyful, childlike hedonism in a cruel and crazy world. May he live forever. However, did you know that the remaining seasons of Duckula are now available in the United Kingdom on DVD? And that for some inexcusable reason they have not been made available in a DVD format playable in the North American region? If I owned a teleporting castle and had a hulking manservant like Igor in my employ, I would certainly be paying a visit to Fremantle Home Entertainment to chat up the person responsible for that decision. Come on Duckula fans, isn't there something we can do about this?

I truly missed these shows of the 80s, and Duckula was one of them when they were shown on Nick (when Nick was a "good" channel to watch), but, as times go by so do the shows and they either become forgotten or end up on season sets by demand. So true with this cartoon. Very cool to watch and you'll laugh your heart out when memories of stupid Nanny come about and then you really wonder why there are no more cartoon shows like this. The show only lasted two years (if i recall), but, oh how those two years catch up with you and remind you how old you are (yikes!!)..but, if your a "kid" at heart like me and have kids of your own, dont pass this up. Highly Recommended!!

Ahh...another show from my childhood comes to DVD. I, like many of you, watched this on Nickelodoen all those years ago. It's been so long since I watched it, that it's like new and fresh to me. Count Duckula is from a long line of vampire ducks. But, there's something different about this Duckula. This new Count Duckula doesn't suck blood! He just loves brocolli sandwiches. This non-evil Duckula greatly offends Igor, the evil butler that tries to make some evil pour out of the Count. Nanny crashes through walls (and everything else) in attempts to serve Count Duckula.

Come on, it's Count Duckula. If you're a real 80's baby, next to The Teenage mutant Ninja Turtle's, Thundercat's, The Simpson's, and a few other's this is 80's nostalgia at it's best. Would like to see You Can't Do That On Television, Monster Squad, The Tom & Jerry Kids Show, and a number of others on DVD. Consumers need to get on these companies holding the right's to these classic's. There's sooo much of nothing on television these day's.

We watched Count Duckula on TV when my kids were young. It was very twisted and funny. Hadn't thought about it for years, then the "Whomite" and "Ube" discussion came up. Turns out it was from the first episode where Duckula goes to Egypt in search of a saxaphone. Brings back great memories!

Totally forgot how much I loved watching this cartoon as I kid...

Lange hin und her überlegt, da der Preis für die komplette Serie angemessen wäre, jedoch fehlen einige Folgen. Die DVD enthält keine Extras und nur eine deutsche Tonspur.Die Serie ist Kult, allein schon wegen des Humors, der unbeschreiblichen Charaktere und deren Synchronsprecher (z.B. Jochen Busse als von Gänseklein). Geeignet für Jung und Alt.Wer die Serie als Kind geliebt hat, wird vielleicht über das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und die fehlenden Folgen hinwegsehen. So wie ich auch. Bisher habe ich es nicht bereut.Die Bild- und Tonqualität ist überraschend gut.Gute Nacht da draußen ...

Morgens eine Runde Zeichentrick macht Spass.Das animierte Hauptmenü ist sehr originell.Das einzige was nervt ist die "Videopiraterie ist ein Verbrechen!"-Werbung. Das ist eine Zeichentrickserie für Kinder. Die können damit nichts anfangen.Und wer sich das Original kauft, der braucht eher wenig Appell an sein Gewissen.

Toller Ausflug in die Kindheit.Leider wurde die Box nicht gut umgesetzt, da hier jede Folge einzeln angewählt werden muss und nicht flüssig durchläuft.Deshalb für die Box nur 4 Sterne, der Verkäufer ist allerdings Top und die Box war sofort da =)

... habe ich nichts zu beanstanden. Doof nur, wenn mit einer kompletten Staffel geworben wird, wenn sie nicht komplett ist, daher ein Stern weniger. Schade auch, dass die englische Tonspur fehlt, würde mir die Wortwitze (die ich als Kind nie so recht wahrgenommen habe) gern mal im Original anhören. Trotzdem eine herrlich witzige Serie, die ich nun als Erwachsene nochmal ganz neu entdecken kann.

Die Box sieht schick aus und die DVD sind anständig verteilt.Für 25€ habe ich gleich zu geschlagen weil keiner weis wie lange es diese Box noch geben wird und ob die Serie überhaupt nochmal auf irgend ein Format gepresst wird!Für mich ein stück Kindheit auf DVD.Zur Box; die DVDs haben keine Extras oder Kino Trailer, zwar fehlen einige Episoden weil die wohl neu synchronisiert wurden sind,aber damit kann ich gut Leben. Alle 52 Folgen der Serie „Graf Duckula“ wurden bei dieser Box in einem Digipak untergebracht. Dabei liegen (von Disc 1-6) jeweils 2 Stück halb übereinander, Disc 7 hat eine Halterung für sich allein. Das Design des Digipaks ist eher behelfsmäßig, da der Platz, der nicht von den DVDs eingenommen wurde, von einem Episodenguide dominiert wird.Mit gut 20 Stunden DVD Spass und den unglaublich guten preis habe ich zu gegriffen bevor Graf Duckula nie wieder erscheint.
