"This is Dracula the Series - the fun series that aired in the early 90's - It stars Geordie Johnson as Dracula, and Bernard Behrens as Van Helsing, Geraint Wyn Davies has a recurring role as Klaus (this is pre-Forever Knight.) The dvds are pretty high quality for being a 1990 television series. The two-disc set includes all 21 episodes of the series. Fun for the whole family."
Smart, funny, with a bit of cheese thrown in for fun!

"Short-lived though it was when it first debuted, Dracula the Series *did* get a full run of 21 episodes (more than most fledgling series these days). Starring a wonderful core cast, including Geordie Johnson as a sleek and dangerous (not to mention gorgeous!) Dracula, this series is a great bit of fun for kids and adults. The cheesiness is there on purpose, when it shows up in a number of eps, but the dialogue throughout is always fun and clever. I LOVED this series when it first came out, and I was about 15, and I still love it now at 30!"
I Love Lucard

"I used to love this show, it came on before the Dark Shadows Revival Series. I really wish they had continued it or revisted it at a later time.
Geordie Johnson makes this series as Alexander Lucard, AKA Dracula. He has a vast stage presence and seems to really get into playing Dracula. Not to mention he is quite easy on the eyes.
Geraint Wyn Davies is another hilight. He plays Klaus and is spectacular. When he and Johnson are on the screen together it's amazing. He also has this Welsh accent that comes out once in awhile, and it's adorable.
The series is cheesy, but in a cute way. It's polka and schnitzel (Hot and steamy!) all the time. Sometimes things don't make much sense, but the series is so much fun you just wont care.
And I always got the idea the little war between Helsing and Alex was a love/hate thing, which adds an interesting dynamic to the series.
I was dissapointed with the ending, however. But it doesn't ruin the series, not at all.
The Decline of the Romanian Vampire is my fave episode.
As for the DVD itself...There are no special features, you can't skip or fast forward unless you want to go to the next peisode. The transfer is good, but overall, the DVD could have a little more on it.
WORTH the money though...God yes.

"Does anyone remember that cheesy song that the older boy on the show wrote? So stupid! :) But I remember watching every saturday afternoon to see if they were going to show an episode. It was cheesy and fun. And Geordie Johnson was so incredibly goreous. I was watching "The Changeling" (which has Bernard Behrens in it for a few seconds) and I started thinking about this show. I had to explain to my husband why I loved it so much. He thinks I'm crazy...but those of us who loved it understand. Alexander is a babe!"
