Korgoth of Barbaria: So very wrong, so very fun.

Sadly, it's not been picked up to be a series. According to my friend at Adult Swim, the people in charge thought "The writing was weak."

This is not a show that lives or dies on its writing. However, I'm personally not sure it would have had legs to be a full series. I imagine the gags would have to get tired eventually.

In a world where "Tom Goes to the Mayor" can get two seasons :\ , that does not surprise me at all.

A 6 episode mini series would have been more than enough.

Thanks for reminding me I have wanted to check this out

Its like watching a realy corny game of D&D

They even had the cheesy rock opera backround music.

I love it

Can you ask your friend what exactly was up with CN cancelling Justice League Unlimited? That show had better writing then 99% of the shows on TV, so it can't be that the writing was weak.

Shal,

Uhm production costs...I guess. Who knows? CN doesn't exactly thrill me with confidence some times. The way they changed around the premeires of SC, Inuyasha to week days didn't go well with me. In any case while it's sad Korgoth won't get picked up, there's always Venture Brothers.

But Venture Bros only had 13 episodes, and it seems like they kept showing the same five or six over and over. At least they are all now on DVD!

Korgoth ROXXX!!! Next time I play a barbarian, I'm taking the feat where you grab someone's pony tail and rip off the front half of their flesh, douse them in alchohol and set them on fire.

Dear GOD - I'm glad the kids weren't tempted to see what was going on when they heard my howls of laughter!

These are the same people who think that Tom Goes To The Mayor, Squidbillies, Perfect Hair Forever, and the recent Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes are funny.

I know that they're cheap to produce, but it's sad that they'd rather spend as little money as possible on something that sucks than a few more bucks on something that's actually good. Of course, if they cancelled those crappy shows, they could use that money for a good series.

It kind of reminds me of G4. They cancelled almost all their original shows and tried to get by on nothing but reruns of Star Trek and The Man Show. As a result, it was reported in April that G4 became the least watched basic cable network ("...less than evangelistic channels, less than third-rate shopping channels").

Maybe if AS takes a ratings hit, we can get more Venture Bros and less Tom.
