Have you watched Count Duckula?
What do you remember of it?
Castle Duckula, home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty of vicious vampire ducks – The Counts of Duckula. Legend has it that these 'fowl' 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... The latest reincarnation did not run according to plan....
— Opening narration
The stories often revolve around Duckula's adventures in search of riches and fame, assisted by the castle's ability to teleport around the world. Another regularly occurring theme is the repeated attempt by Igor to turn Duckula into a proper vampire. Some episodes feature Duckula's nemesis Doctor Von Goosewing (based on Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, the nemesis of Dracula), a vampire hunter who blindly refuses to believe the current incarnation of Duckula is harmless. There is also an array of bizarre, often supernatural foes, from zombies to mechanical werewolves. Another feature of the show is a cuckoo clock whose bat-like Borscht Belt comedian styled characters come out and make jokes about the current situation (or corny jokes in general). The clock is also a vital part of the castle's traveling mechanism, and it even has the ability to turn back time.

I misread the title and was surprised you'd be making a topic about Count Dankula lol. But I've never heard of this show, although the character seems quite familiar... I guess it could have been Darkwing Duck, but I don't think so.

I recall the opening theme sequence. It's been a LONG time since I've seen the show, though.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^Ditto. It's a good, funky theme song-----‐-------I remembered the tune, even though I haven't seen the show in over thirty years.
