Not many shows now-a-days get that kind of run. Beastmaster lasted three. I think a D&D TV show could be done and done well. You're seldom going to see the level of magic you see in a D&D game both because it's expensive and in terms of a narrative story it's ridiculous. Look for something about the level of what Willow could do in the last couple seasons of Buffy, or that that big boom-boom stuff only shows up every four or five episodes or so. That said, look for lots of little magical effects. I think you'd start off with your main spellcaster being young and untried and as the show progresses (and goes into the next couple of seasons with a budget increase), the magical effects get better and more showy.Most monsters would be the humanoid ones; probably orcs or goblins. Human opponents would be the rule of the day.</blockquote>
