And then, from the field of the future, a new King will come... to save the world of the past. This show introduced me to Power Metal and I have never regretted it.
The opening minutes of Samurai Jack S1E7 "The Three Archers" are an almost shot-by-shot copy of the first scene in episode 1 of King Arthur. I guess Tartakovsky was a fan!
The show was scored by Ron Wasserman of Power Rangers and X-Men fame. If you've ever listened to the music from MMPR and then hear the score for King Arthur, there's absolutely no mistaking it.
I loved that show! I was about 14 or 15, when it aired. I was all into Arthurian mythology, at that period of time! I read "Le Morte de Artur", and had "Excalibur" on VHS, that I eventually wore out! I also had the Wagner "Ring of the Niebulung" on a CD set. I collected swords, and the whole works! That cartoon couldn't have come out at a better time. This brought back some memories, thanks for that, Dan!
I really loved all the armor designs on this show, each suit really reflected the characters specialty. Never got to watch it much but always thought it was cool.
Yeah and Merlin was a bitch in this show. He's always like "For I have failed as a magician, I will search for good men till eternity to defeat Morgana!" Always over explaining everything 😂😂😂
It's bittersweet when a video game brings the closure a cartoon show never received. I beat Pirates of Dark Water on Sega Genesis a few months ago and it was nice to finally bring an end to the quest after 29 years.
I liked this show. I'm 38 and 10 minutes ago I grabbed my fly swatter and shouted "Excalibur, Be my Strength!" Before going into battle with the buzzing menace. Incidently, when I fired up UA-cam for my victory celebration, this popped up. Thank you pocket spy!
Did they make a Prince Valiant cartoon in the 90s? I can't recall seeing anything PV related apart from the long running comic strip in the funny papers...
King Arthur & the Knights of Justice was one of my fave cartoons! Marvel did a 3 part miniseries on it. The concept was fun & I always enjoyed the moments where King Arthur & the Knights invoke the Oath of Justice.
I always liked this show! I liked the concept of having a more "modernized" medieval times-type world. And the theme song was a burst of energy at 7 AM on a school day!
I remember seeing an episode of this show once as a kid and wanting to see more, but i just never found it on any channel after that. Eventually it just became a vague memory that would occasionally plague me every few years when i was trying to sleep... until now. UA-cam's algorithm sent me to this channel, and three videos in, it sure has unlocked some memories.
@@shinmusashi44 Pirates of Darkwater, Spiral Zone, and Exo Squad were shows designed with an overarching story in mind, but never got the ratings or toy sales to garner the seasons on TV they needed to tell their stories. I'd really like to read some sort of novelization that tells the end of the story of those three, especially Spiral Zone. That show got me up at 6:30am back in my college years so I could make it to breakfast before my 8am class. I'd also love to see the rest of the story for that 2011 Thundercats series. There are some series that actually did end. Orbots, Galaxy Rangers, and Captain Power kind of/sort of all had a "final episode". But these days of "binge" watching, ending a series makes a lot of sense. Back in the 80s and 90s when these were all coming out, it was a lot harder to guarantee an audience watching every episode to keep up with an overarching plot. Saturday mornings could get pre-empted by sports (or kids in sports would miss an episode or two), or kids couldn't watch every afternoon depending on family, school, and sport/activity schedules. So network execs thought it didn't make a lot of sense to make a, you've-gotta-watch-every-single-episode-to-keep-up-with-the-story sort of series. Avatar was really the first US series to pull it off, because anime like Yugioh proved you could do it.
@@shinmusashi44 I think that's a pretty universal thing. As an "avid japanese animation fan" I can tell you that the bulk of their shows did the same thing. "Interest is waning! Dump the show! Grab a new idea/IP and run with it! Oh snap, make some toys!"
You should do one of the 1979 anime King Arthur cartoon series that ran in the U.S. It was available on VCR tape, but I don’t think it is available anywhere now. I’ve found a few clips on UA-cam, but that’s it.
Yes! I loved this cartoon. I remember it airing back to back with Conan the Barbarian. And it had a Super Nintendo game that I rented the heck out of. Thanks for hitting this cartoon Dan & Greg!
there are versions in which the sword from the stone is "caliburn" and the one from the lady of the lake is "excalibur" the whole arthurian legend is basically a segment of "is it canon" like most legends anyway
Caliburn is likey the Latinised of the welsh word with a bit of Irish legend thrown in too. The French also had a go at the legend that gave us Escalibor in Old French. :)
Wasn't there some theory that the name came from "ex calce (I forget the third word)" meaning it's named for having come from the stone? Sounds kinda sketchy but I dunno.
@@CJ-ef4tg Nah it's from the Welsh Caledfwlch caled "hard" and bwlch "breach, cleft" What that mean I dunno. I should ask my welsh mate what it means haha
"And then... from the field of the future... a new king will come... to save the world of the past!" Ride through the storm, see the knights fighting evil and crime! A modern-day team of heroes in medieval time! Arthur and the Knights of Justice... hunting evil down! Ride through the storm with the knights of the Table Round! Come on, come on! King Arthur, Ride! I liked this show quite a bit back in it's day, being a fan of video games like Dragon Quest, and loving the Disney movie the Sword In The Stone, their 1960s take on the Arthurian legend's roots. I missed out on the toy line, but even though I can't remember them all, I'm sure I didn't miss a single episode. "Excalibur... BE MY STRENGTH!"
This used to air on a saturday morning over here, and as a Brit, I always wondered "why they were all American?" just made no sense to me as a kid. Also, no Mordric? he was the real antagonist of the arthurian legend, to the point he was the one who actually killed arthur.
I love your Fact Hunt videos! Is there a way you can somehow add the SNES King Arthur and the Knights of Justice game into one of your future Fact Hunt videos?
Well, it was an American Football team from the 90s. As American I'm more impressed that the 90s football team weren't all coked up and committing felonies.
What a week! With all the new games coming for Nintendo Switch and now, you read my mind with this video. This was just one of the many cartoon shows in my Sunday morning ritual as a kid.
This show was actually my first introduction to the Arthurian mythos LOL! I could never forget that theme song and it makes sense that it was written by the same guy who brought us the theme songs to Power Rangers and 90s X-men!
the Stone housed Caliburn, but after a fight with Sir Lacelot over Gwenivere, it broke due to being used for selfish gain. Then Merlin brought the shards to Vivian (Lady of the Lake) whom reforged them (via fey magick) into Excaliburn.
I always liked the way Tennyson's epic poem handled the whole central love-triangle issue. He has Guinevere at her window when Lancelot rides up to the castle, BUT she's expecting to see her future husband Arthur for the first time, so she mistakes Lancelot for him, causing her to instantly "catch feelings" which don't go away when she realizes her mistake. It makes her a more sympathetic character and sort of excuses her infidelity while also provoking the reader to consider the whole "love at first sight" idea back-firing. I think the romantic notion of instantly falling in love is perfectly valid and as such it is hard not to see her feelings for Lancelot as inevitable, really makes for a more complex and tragic character in my opinion.
I remember sleeping in my parents’ room as a kid when I was sick once so they could keep an eye on me. I remember waking up half-conscious and my dad put this on the tv. I wasn’t sure this show was real till several years later when another friend confirmed there was a show about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, but they were football players.
In an odd way Merlin selecting a football kinda makes sense. They already know how to coordinate their efforts and they’re used to physical work. Slap on some magical armor that turns you into a fighter and you’re solid!
@@kangaroofuno Possibly. I haven't seen this in a good while but it could be assumed that they get dropped off at the same point they left their own time.
Surprised he didn't go into the Purple Horde, and their faction: a group of Samurai, lost on a journey, whom Morgana and Lord Viper tried to win over to their side, but the honor code of Bushido wouldn't let them.
@@2Eliishere Caliburne is the old pronunciation of Excalibur. Their actually the same sword. But, someone could put it into a movie today that they are indeed different ones and the general audience would more than likely not know better.
I cannot tell you how much I love this channel. I swear half of the toys covered I remember but was convinced were either fever dreams or drug induces hallucinations for my younger years.
I was just thinking a couple of days ago that Toy Galaxy needs to cover this show. And now, I'm sure by complete coincidence, on the day the NFL is coming back, it drops.
This came out just when I was getting into my teens. I was deep into the Arthurian legends even back then, so I absolutely loved the whole idea of high schoolers/collegiates being transported back to take the mantle of the Round Table. The big departure on this cartoon was that, while the shows were episodic, there was an overarching storyline. Most of the cartoons at the time didn't have that, outside of miniseries events (X-Men's Phoenix saga, Gargoyles). Here, there was a very well-defined objective, with each knight having to get their key to free the true Knights of the Round Table. We only really saw that done in anime adaptations... Voltron, Dragon Ball, etc. So for any American cartoon to do that was something completely different. Of course, we'll kind of gloss over the fact that when they showed the magically sealed King Arthur, he looked old enough to be Guenevere's grandfather...
I came here to show my nephew who is my age this awesomeness but they never showed it it in his television market. This show had story telling elements to it that was intricate, creative and I thought on par to Gargoyles for fantasy shows for our time. Us fantasy loving nerds were hard up for really good shows that weren't just slapped together and called something watchable. The fact that we had gotten cool toys to go with She-rah and comic books helped sell the story elements. I didn't know there was an SNES game so going to have to load it up on my Pi so thank you sir for that golden piece of information!
The Wizard, who's gettin' old and his powers are fading: "I'm'a abduct this big clunker with a bunch of goofy-ass kids on it and hope there's a worthy successor. Say my name! SHAZAM!!" 10:08 Dan, c'mon now. Time travelers telling everyone they need to chill and be excellent to each other. Bill 'n Ted.
This show had a totally rad theme song, I'm talking top tier - up there with TMNT, Batman: TAS, Transformers, and M.A.S.K.! "Arthur and the Knights of Justice, put-ting evil down!" YES!
Loved this show! For me, this was either part of the Sunday or school day cartoon line up. Always loved the sequence where all of the knights transformed.
This is one of the DVD sets I have in my collection that I wasted no time ordering when it was released. The animation, Ron Wasserman’s kick ass theme song...truly one of my favorite animated series ever!
I remember this show with some fondness for it. The concept is indeed very out there and out of left field; it begs the question; why had no one tried to make a live action Netflix series of this? As you said; It's too crazy to fail! It also checks all the boxes that would make it a hit today. Just keep the theme song the same.
I don't know what I want to believe more....that you guys are so good that you timed this episode for the opening night o NFL on purpose, or that it was some sort of leftover magical merlin influence that helped cause this...
One of my favorite TV shows of all time among Double Dragons. I can only wish somebody get the rights for this cartoon series and make a Marvel Legends type action figures. That would be a dream come true!
Love your style of videos....never laughed so hard....keep up the great work 😁 took me 3 and a half weeks to marathon the hell out your videos to catch up
I'd travel back in time to the year 93 and set the stage for all things awesome and to be kind to one another! Such a great episode with lots of sports ball references! 🏈 I enjoyed this show as a kid, but never had the toys...might need to do some searching now...Aso loved the addition of the WPIX Commercial.
This was the only cartoon I got up early to watch on SUNDAY. Sure the rest of the best were on Saturday, but for some reason those kickass knights were buried on Sunday morning.
Great vid Dan! I never got to see this cartoon first hand but I always knew about it. Either it never aired in my neck of the woods or came on at a weird time. I remember seeing the toys and thought they looked pretty cool.

Sometimes I miss how simple the times were in the 90s. Xtreme!! But simple.

For fans of Visionaries, this is all we had , once it was gone. That bird guy is totally the starscream of the show.
For me he was the Soundwave, he was quite loyal and didn't try depose his boss.
I just always listened for Chris Latta's voice. Easy indicator for the backstabbing 2nd in command
This show was better than Visionaries. Prince Valiant was better than both.
Yeah and Merlin was a bitch in this show. He's always like "For I have failed as a magician, I will search for good men till eternity to defeat Morgana!" Always over explaining everything 😂😂😂
What I remember the most about this series is how freaking catchy the opening song was. It plays in my head to this very day.

They never defeated Overlord and his Spiral Zone

The Wizard, who's gettin' old and his powers are fading: "I'm'a abduct this big clunker with a bunch of goofy-ass kids on it and hope there's a worthy successor. Say my name! SHAZAM!!" 10:08 Dan, c'mon now. Time travelers telling everyone they need to chill and be excellent to each other. Bill 'n Ted.
Boy that takes me back. The bumper especially!
Is Toy Galaxy possibly considering doing an episode on “Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys” perhaps?
The short comic book from Marvel Comics makes a lot of sense given the Avi Arad connection. Interesting the toys went to Mattel instead of Toy Biz.
This show had a totally rad theme song, I'm talking top tier - up there with TMNT, Batman: TAS, Transformers, and M.A.S.K.! "Arthur and the Knights of Justice, put-ting evil down!" YES!
Loved this show! For me, this was either part of the Sunday or school day cartoon line up. Always loved the sequence where all of the knights transformed.
The only thing I remember about this show before the video is that the opening song f’n SLAPS!
Loved this show as a kid. Watched the whole thing again a few years ago on DVD, what a slapping into song as well! Lol
The theme song was 1 of my favorite shows 2 sing along with. The show was also 🔥👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
This is one of the DVD sets I have in my collection that I wasted no time ordering when it was released. The animation, Ron Wasserman’s kick ass theme song...truly one of my favorite animated series ever!
I remember this show with some fondness for it. The concept is indeed very out there and out of left field; it begs the question; why had no one tried to make a live action Netflix series of this? As you said; It's too crazy to fail! It also checks all the boxes that would make it a hit today. Just keep the theme song the same.
Those 5 actors, AKA: My 5 Dads. And Uncle Billy West. And Aunt Jennifer Hale.
I don't know what I want to believe more....that you guys are so good that you timed this episode for the opening night o NFL on purpose, or that it was some sort of leftover magical merlin influence that helped cause this...
I promise you that anything on this channel that looks calculated or planned is purely accidental.
One of my favorite TV shows of all time among Double Dragons. I can only wish somebody get the rights for this cartoon series and make a Marvel Legends type action figures. That would be a dream come true!
I have a serious man-crush on Joe Byrnes' voice. Just his voice.
I sure hope there will be a live-action movie adaptation of King Arthur & The Knights of Justice.
Love your style of videos....never laughed so hard....keep up the great work 😁 took me 3 and a half weeks to marathon the hell out your videos to catch up
Glad you like them!
I'd travel back in time to the year 93 and set the stage for all things awesome and to be kind to one another!
Such a great episode with lots of sports ball references! 🏈
I enjoyed this show as a kid, but never had the toys...might need to do some searching now...Aso loved the addition of the WPIX Commercial.
This had one of the most bad ass intro songs ever
I completely missed out on this show...never even heard of it.
I was hoping you would cover this show. I remember watching this at my grandmother's house when i was a kid
Oh man I asked and you guys delivered. You guys are awesome!!!!!!
Thank you for doing this. I loved this show back in the day. I wondered what happened to it.
OMG I USED TO WATCH THIS SHOW I THOUGHT I HAD IMAGINED IT!!!!!! Do the one where they had Bo Jackson and other athletes as super heroes!!
Prostars with Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan with Bo Jackson.
@@isaacceasar7116 Thank you kind sir!!
@@techknowbabbleMy pleasure.
This is not related to the Stan Lee property with the basketball players with super powers?
@@isaacceasar7116 I just found some episode on UA-cam and boy do things seem waaayyy cooler when you're a kid lol
Awesome job like usual guys! Thanks for all the hard work put into these.👍😁
What a great cartoon this was
Dude... This was the show that actually got me into the King Arthur mythos to begin with!
This was the only cartoon I got up early to watch on SUNDAY. Sure the rest of the best were on Saturday, but for some reason those kickass knights were buried on Sunday morning.
I grew up with this show and have been wanting an update forever
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOWS!
This is one of my favorite cartoons of the 90's!
Great vid Dan! I never got to see this cartoon first hand but I always knew about it. Either it never aired in my neck of the woods or came on at a weird time. I remember seeing the toys and thought they looked pretty cool.
The theme song is pretty bad ass.
I thank God every day for allowing me to be born early enough in the 80’s to enjoy both that decade and the 90’s growing up.
It was a rocking theme song! My wife and I were saying this wouldn't be a bad idea to reboot.
I loved watching this show! Great video!
90s was just full of dope ass Isekais
