Ok, so what are your least favorite eps, or the eps you are just plain not fond of? Here are mine, this time in order:
Igor's Busy Day (GOD, the American couple was just so frigging annoying; you don't know how badly I wanted Igor to get rid of them! Very lame and boring ep.)
The Vampire Strikes Back (Dear Jebus Crow... those frickin' bunnies... oh, the horror. Reminded of some crack-inspired Duckula/Care Bears crossover! GAH!! Very weak and stupid, overall.)
The Return of... (Just a very silly, pointless ep, overall. 'Nuff said.)
Unreal Estate (Now, here, the storyline is ok; it's just the HORRIBLE animation that makes it almost unbearable to watch. It's like a total group of newbies, who didn't study the proper model sheets/guidelines of the characters, drew that ep.)
Transylvanian Homesickness Blues (Meh... it had its moments, but I thought it was too silly even for me. I really hated the part with the vegetables.)

Here are mine:
- Jungle Duck, because it is boring; - Sawdust ring, because I have never liked the plot; - Beau Duckula, because it is a collection of not-so-funny sketches;
When I was young I did not like "bloodsuckuing fruit bars of lower Amazon" too. Now I think that this episode is very nice (I started to say always "Chokkybikkies" instead of "biscotti al cioccolato")
Shy, I agree with you about the couple in "Igor's busy day": a couple of friends of mine is the same! Disgusting!

... Well I don't like Transylvanian Homesick Blues, Jungle Duck and Dead Eye Duck, because I think that there are boring.

>:(Sacrilage! There are no dud episodes in Count Duckula! I would opine that 'Bad Luck Duck' and 'Duck Ahoy' seem like 10 minute episodes stretched out to 20 minutes but that's as far as I'm going!
It's all a matter of personal opinion of course. One man's meat is another man's....brocolli.

I...was about to make a thread like this So far I think my least favourite episodes were: * The Lost Valley * The Return of... * Mississippi Duck I can agree with Shychick about Unreal Estate, the animation really was crude and off-model in this episode, but it wasn't too bad of a story [kinda like how I animated LOL]. Yeah, it's probably likely that it was a rookie animator in the team back then.

If you do some searching on th Cosgrove Hall Ate My Brain site, you can find early designs of Igor and Nanny which bear resemblence to the drawings in this episode. I also insist that it is a very early one but broadcast much later as evidenced with the harmonica bit in the opening titles and the fact that Goosewing appears to be out to get Duckula for the first time in this incartion.
I don't really have a leaset favourite episode, just ones I watch more than others and they all get fair hearing. I suppose if someone bothered to keep track of how many times I wacth each episode it would be more accurate but that's maybe just a little too sad! Though I still think my idea for a Duckula fan gathering might be fun.
BTW STace, didn't know you dabbled in animation! You don't happen to know where I can get a manual for 'Cartoon Television Production' (CTP) computer programme. Mine came without one.

Ah, forgot about Lost Valley... that one was rather lame and boring.

The Lost Valley was great! It gave us the classic line 'I am the one they call - Nigel!' And the whole movi-going experiance is done to a tee: Duckula shoving his way through the crowd was very funny and Igor's reaction to the films on offer was very much like mine! Love the fact that he slept all the way through.
Only gripe - a stegasaurus was not a carnivore no matter how scary it was drawn.

The part where they were at the movies was fun, I admit, especially the whole hassle getting Nanny her ice-cream cone!
And I actually did like the part where Duckula did a Scrooge McDuck when he found the diamond mound; twas funny and suiting of the character, even if a little exagerated. (Rather like how he dives into the treasure ches near the end of Transylvania Takeaway; love that part!)
But overall, I just found it a weak ep.

I also liked Duckula's rubbish 'magic' trick near the end and Nanny's spoiling them. 'It is in your other hand'. I also liked their getting stuck in the credits and adverts.

Yeah, it was back in 2005 when my sister asked me to produce a short cartoon for BBC Talent. It took me 8 months to make a 5 minute film using Photoshop and Flash which didn't even get shortlisted anyway, which was disheartening. Looking at it now it's so crude, it made me wish I worked harder on it. It's somewhere on my Sheezyart page if you wanna look.

After lots of pondering, here's the list of my least-fave episodes.
Transylvanian Homesick Blues: Dr Tyme was annoying. Nanny should've smacked his legs. The part with the mutated vegetables was also stupid.
Dead Eye Duck: I dunno why, but I don't really watch this episode as much as the others...
O.O Duck: The Egg is annoying...
The Zombie Awakes: Started off interesting, but was a disappointment at the end. What made it worse would be the fact it was supposed to be the final episode of the series.

Beau Duck: Very boring. Not a military lady, me.
Bloodsucking Fruitbats...: I like this episode as a whole, but the opening is a little freaky and that explorer woman gets on my nerves.
AutoDuck: I can't sit through this episode - so boring!

Oh no, I love 'Blooduscking Fruit Bats' because it starts so nicely and has a pretty great story, but the opening titles, dripping blood, take a bit of getting used to. And I wasn't sure what to make of Bombootle - she was okay and it was interesting to have a guest character, she just felt a bit out of place. But hey, it's a cartoon!
