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

[Magog]

Um, for the record, they did pay for the pilot and air it. Don't 'to hell with them' just because they ultimately decided not to go for it. It makes you seem ungrateful.

Normally sir I would agree with every point you have made. However this serious was just that good where I'm not willing to be fair. I would have rather not seen it all, if I knew there wasn't going to be more. I'm not really bothered by the fact they play shows like perfect hair or what ever (Enjoyable serious) the network decides to put up here and there. These things simply happen. But when we the fans are given a such a priceless jewel like Korgoth only to have it snatched away is down right cruel (which again I would normally be amused by).


It's like a dm snatching away a wonderful artifact after he saw the players smile to greatly.
Imagine if you will if family guy got cancelled to air a crummy show in it's place. I mean just imagine that. Because Lord knows that's never happened. Should I be grateful to Fox for the time I had to watch Family Guy, or should I be Upset for them taking it away?

You know what would have been a great marketing idea? Ripping Korgoth of the air and (pretending) that it was to vile, and they were getting to many complaints. Then releasing it again. If you never saw it before you'd peak the second time around wouldn't you?
And it's better than south park. South Park is vulgar for the sake of being vulgar. For the sake that the two writers have this mission from God (I only assume that's their problem) to see how much nonsense they think they can squeeze by the censors.

I can watch Korgoth (if it ever comes back) with out ever having to sit threw what ever political agenda the writer has. I won't have to learn about Peta, or nambla, or what ever God awful nonsense I simply was better off not knowing about (And yes I just lumped Peta in with Nambla LOL).

Am I a terribly person for wanting to see humor and violence with out some inside agenda from the writer? I don't mind it, but it sure would be a change of pace just this once to indulge. Thank you for your time.

I saw elsewhere that it did get picked up. Why isn't there a straight story on this one... :\

Wikepedia has the show listed as a go.

There was a thread a while back about the cartoon Korgoth of Barbaria, but I can't seem to find it.

But then TruthSeeker showed me the way...

Anyway, I watched this tonight. It was funny, but mostly for the insanely over the top violence. I was laughing so loud and hard during the bar fight, the opeing credit and the giant pigeons scene I spooked my dogs. It seems evident the people who wrote and produced the show are familair with gaming and Sword and Sorcery fiction and flicks. There is talk about making it a regular show, but I wonder about that. It seemed very much a one-joke kind of thing - I think the Conan jokes and insane violence would get old quickly.

And yes, it does indeed have a wikipedia entry. Apparently there are wikipedia entries for everything except cats who are also pirates.

The Black Cat Pirates? So close.
