The legendary Kingdom of Camarand is ruled by good King Baaldorf and Queen Lattinia. Their daughter, Ariel, is engaged to Prince Erik Greystone, who becomes Camarand's Champion against a neighboring kingdom ruled by evil Prince Dirk Blackpool. Erik was always helped by his servant, Marko, the strongest man in the kingdom and often hindered by his ne'er-do-well playboy brother, Justin. A variety of wizards and witches, both good and evil, also played a part in the conflict. This short-lived black comedy satirized the sword and sorcery genre and pop culture. Written by

Quotes
[Vulkarr, an undead barbarian, has besieged Castle Baaldorf.]
Vulkarr:
For every minute you delay the surrender, one of the palace guards DIES.
[laughs menacingly]
Prince Dirk Blackpool:
How many do you have?
King Baaldorf:
Over six hundred.
Prince Dirk Blackpool:
Good. That gives us at least ten hours before we have to worry.

I loved this series, and I too was quite young when it was on. I remember it though as hilarious, satirizing a period I've always adored. I really think it was one of Julia Duffy's finest hours as well. The part of the bratty princess was so perfectly suited to her style, and was a real precursor for any work she did later on Newhart or Designing Women. Conway was also really good in this show, and I've always thought it was too bad he never got more work after Taxi and Grease. But without question, my favorite in the series was Dirk Blackpool, who we've almost never seen since. Whatta man! :)
If anyone knows where the tapes can be found, please email me!
