This is after Looney Tunes, the FUNNIEST cartoon ever. I mean, very nearly everything is spot-on. The only beef I have is the animation. It was good but could be very repetitive at times. Non sequitur humor (pretty much 95% of British humor) is my cup of tea. So naturally this show is up my alley. The music was great, the stories & characters even better. The main heroes & some villains were nothing short of charming. My favorite by far is Isenbaed, the funniest narrator ever. His comments are always a hoot. But Ernest Penfold is an awfully close second. He's simply adorable, & his jokes seemingly come out of the blue, while Danger Mouse himself(my 3rd favorite) has terrible puns that you think you could've seen coming a mile away. Now for the villains. One more beef is that the main villain, Baron Silas Greenback, was overused & was only funny in the last episodes. However, his henchmen, Nero & especially Stiletto Mafiosa, rock. I also like Quark, the Scottish alien, Count Duckula, the thespian vampire duck, Prof. Augustus P. Crumhorn, the mad weasel scientist &, even though he was only in one show, Jones, the Welsh dragon. With most comedies, I would get tired of the jokes after constant viewings. Not so with DM. Sometimes, I laugh harder than the first time. And clocking in at 10 seasons, it's the longest running show I like. I own the whole series on DVD. They never get old, although I think the later ones are the best. There were some very funny eps in the first 4 seasons, but it's 5-10 that had me nearly die laughing.
BOTTOM LINE:10/10 10th Best cartoon ever.
