great introduction

"No Sax, Please--We're Egyptian" gives us a great introduction to the main characters of Count Duckula, Nanny, and Edgar, as well as the quartet of mishievious crows that are always trying to break into Castle Duckula. The writing in this episode--especially the dialogue--is full of wit and double entendres very much akin to Abbott and Costello's "Who's on first" routine. There is a running joke through the second half of the episode playing off the names of two Egyptian bodyguards which coincide with the question, "Who might you be?" This is a great episode for someone to see that has never seen the series because it gives you a great sense of who the characters are, and has great examples of the humor and wit that make this show so enjoyable.
