King Arthur and the Knights of Justice

Plot synopsis:
The show's premise had King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table trapped in the Cave of Glass by the evil enchantress Queen Morgana. The wizard Merlin, unable to free King Arthur and the Knights himself, searches the timeline for replacement Knights. Merlin finds the quarterback of the New York Knights football team, Arthur King, as a suitable replacement. Merlin transports Arthur King and his teammates to Camelot after one of their football games and appoints Arthur King as their leader, with his teammates as the new Knights of the Round Table, and assigns them the task of freeing the true King and Knights. To do so, they must find the 12 Keys of Truth, one for each knight that only the knight in question can initially touch. Once all the keys are found, the real knights will be free and the team will return home. In the meantime, they pledge "....fairness to all, to protect the weak and vanquish the evil". The Knights are armed with special armor and are able to summon their respective creatures at any time when in battle armor. These animals, such as King Arthur's dragon, are emblazoned on their shields.
The series had a progressive story with both sides making progress towards their goals. Continuity was also established in the episodes which would be brought up in later episodes, along with some repeat minor characters, character relationships, and previously overcome weaknesses of the Knights. Despite the continual movement towards a resolution, the series is incomplete and ended abruptly during the second season.

Review:
Awesome.
I really liked this show.
I mean it had a great story, great action sequences, and everything that a little kid could want.
It was quality TV and I only wish that kids had today what shows like this offered.
This series, along with gargoyles, spider-man(90s version), x-men, and batman are a few of the handful of shows that I can actually say were quality tv.
Come on fox kids!
Come on kids wb!
Just drop the cheap anime with the cheap stories (not to say all are bad but 80% are).
Please just take the time and make a good show with a good story again!
One of my FAVORITES.
Nothing got me more excited on Saturday morning when I was a kid, then 10 A.M. Yes, that was when my favorite cartoon ever came on the air.
King Arthur had it all.
Epic battles, Knights, Magic, Evil, Good, and a huge freaking dragon that came out of King Arthurs shield.
It's sad this show only lasted two seasons.
I would love to find the two seasons on a torrent or DVD or something.
Unlike G.I Joe, or TMNT, this show showed that the "Bad Guys" could win too, and do some major damage.
I wish this show was still on the air, even if it was re-runs.
King Arthur was a show unlike any others.
All the knights that had a certain power, and the evil guys who would stop them at all costs.
This was, and still is, in my opinion the greatest Saturday morning cartoon ever aired on television..
This show was the coolest show ever!!!.
I used to watch this show all the time and I definitely agree that King Arthur and The Knights of Justice was the best show I ever saw.
It was so good in fact that when I couldn't remember the name of my childhood show, I spent probably 2 years trying to figure it out till a friend of mine knew what I was talking about and told me the name.
Anyways, I love the show and I wish it was still playing, but im looking for any videos, action figures, etc...
basically anything having to do with the show.
If anyone has any more information, please email me about where to find things and all, I would really appreciate it.
If you haven't seent the show, your missing out.
One of the few where good guys had cooler weapons than the bad guys!.
EXCALLIBER....BE MY STRENTGH.
This show was so frikkin awesome, it was too bad it was so underrated, or else it would still be on.The story was great and the characters were just awesome.
The crowning point of the show was the vairious wepons used on both sides of good and evil.
Battering rams, spirit animals, one of the bad guys could fly, now that is awesome.Very good show, I deffintly recomend it to anyone who loves action..
dude i love this cartoon since i was a kid.
dude with all the tech they have now they should make a movie about this cartoon that would be excellent movie taking a football from now n putting back in the past to fight for Justice now that would be awesome movie dude i recommend that they do do this because it could be a good thing for a cartoon my n your time.The story was great and the characters were just awesome.
the crowning point of the show was the various weapons used on both sides of good and evil, battering rams, spirit animals, one of the bad guys could fly,merlin brought all of them back threw time which was awesome.
which now could be next blockbuster movie who's know's..
Best Cartoon of the 90s.
This was hands down the best cartoon of the 90s...
well at least the early 90s...
except for maybe exo squad, but still totally awesome!
deserved way more than 2 seasons.
My buddies and i still go around chanting Excalibur, BE MY STRENGTH!!
and then hum that awesome music.
do do do dooo do do doo doo do do doooooo, oh yeah.
I know a lot of people like the Simpsons or something better, but that's cuz they don't see the genius behind a bunch of knights that shoot cool stuff out of their lances and drive sweet vehicles around.
Too bad the toys for this show were totally lame compared to the ones for transformers, exosquad, and silver hawks.
All in all, this show was about as underrated as The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was..
What a fantastic show!.
King Arthur and the Knights of Justice was and still is one of my personal favourite animated shows.
Whether it is my favourite of all time I am not sure, but what I do know is that I really love it.Animation: The animation quality is very good.
It has fluid character designs, vibrant colours and detailed background art.
Together they do very well in conveying a sense of wonder.Music: The background scoring is beautiful, haunting and rousing, often in the same episode and even at the same time.
The real revelation in this respect though is the main theme tune, one of the catchiest there ever was for any animated show and maybe ever.Writing: I always love good writing in any film or show.
King Arthur and the Knights of Justice's writing isn't just good, it is great.
Filled with humour, suspense and intelligence.Storyline: There are some very compelling storytelling here, with a fantasy-adventure atmosphere that is perfect considering the title.
There is the good and evil theme but it is interesting rather than bland and clichéd, like I've known some films and TV shows of the genre to be.Action sequences: Sometimes tense and suspenseful yet always thrilling and excitingly paced.
I also loved the weapons of especially the hero characters.Characters: All the characters have distinct personalities and are interesting in their own way.
Despite the somewhat standard concept of good and evil(though it's acceptable considering the genre), none of them fall into being stereotypical and underdeveloped.
More importantly the heroes are likable and the villains are appropriately antagonistic.Voice acting: The voice cast consist of several talented voice actors, including Kathleen Barr, and all the time they give dynamic vocal performances.Overall, a fantastic yet sadly underrated show.
10/10 Bethany Cox. Great theme music!.
Great show!
Great show!
I love it!
During the summer, I stay at my grandma house and watch this show.
Did my best to be present to watch this show.
If there were a novel, that this cartoon was based upon.
The story is outstanding with great scene.
Get it and refresh the unforgettable memories of "King Auther and the Knight of Justice"!Great theme music by the way!
Where can I find a recorded theme music?
I may be 20 years old but I still have a great passion for classic cartoon show.ex-subscriber of Fox Kids magazine Fan of Fox Kids Fan of WBHere some other classic cartoon shows you may have forgottenBobby World (Fox Kids) Bogus "using clay as cartoon" (?) Muppet Babies (?) Teanage Mutant Kinja Turtles (Fox Kids) Denver, the lost dinosaur (USA Network) Captain Planet (USA Network, Cartoon Network, ...) Ren and Stimpy (Nickolodean) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (Fox Kids) GI Joe "awesome!" (Fox Kids) Transformer "another awesome cartoon!" Peewee Herman Show(?) (Fox Kids) "this is not a cartoon but a great show!
However the sadness part that the actor Peewee is convicted for having Child porn."If you have any cartoon name and location that is was aired?
Please post them and refresh our memories of this treasured cartoon show!.
Fantastic Stuff.
I used to watch this as a kid on Sunday mornings.
After a random search, I found out that they had released the first 5 or 6 episodes on DVD.
Ran to the shops and bought the first DVD from MVC a few weeks ago.Many happy memories came flooding back as King Arthur and his Knights pledged 'Fairness to all' and to 'Protect the weak and vanquish the evil'.Anything that advocates honour, glory and love whilst including Knights, steeds with weapons, Dragons and possibly the most beautiful maiden in all of cartoondom, has to be bought, watched and loved.
Easily one of the best cartoon series ever produced.
It's a pity that they have decided to release it in small blocks of episodes.
Knights!.
Knights!.
Knights!.
It's So Stupid Yet So Awesome.
Understand that I am in no way burdened by nostalgia.
I'd never heard of or seen this show when I was a kid, and only started watching it as an adult.And, when you get down to it, the show it stupid.
Toyetic character designs and weapons aside, the premise is pretty shaky: King Arthur and his knights disappear while out on a quest and Merlin is forced to recruit, bear with me here, a football team from what I can only assume is New York City to be the new Knights of the Round Table, said table granting them magical equipment and knowledge of how to fight.As I said, I find that to be a REALLY stupid premise.
It might've been stronger if they'd had the new knights be the underdogs for a few episodes before they finally found their footing and became the invincible warriors they are from the start.
And just because they know how to fight doesn't mean they instantly are ready to risk their lives in lethal combat.
I find that to be psychologically unrealistic (the key word here being "psychologically").However, after I watched the first episode and my adult mind stopped grappling with the premise, my inner 8-year-old kid said, open- mouthed and drooling, "THIS WAS MADE JUST FOR ME." Holy crap, this show is awesome.
It has knights in shining armor, damsels in distress, damsels who can kick all kinds of ass, dragons, flying stone Warlords, all the above doing battle with some of the most ridiculously cool weapons I've ever seen, and just to put the cherry on the sundae, the music is 90% rock 'n' roll.
And not that stock rock music that a lot of cartoons use, I'm talking Ron Wasserman- style metal-influenced guitar- shredding rock.
A most excellent choice for the soundtrack.I'll admit I haven't finished Season 1 yet and I know there's a second season, about which I heard new villains arrive sporting a samurai/ninja aesthetic.
My only hope is that the show doesn't go the route of Sonic SatAM Season 2 and become TOO stupid.
But even if it does, I'll still loves it to death and pray every weekend for a reboot.SPOILERS: Season 2 goes the route of Sonic SatAM, in that the animation and frame art gets so bad sometimes that I can't enjoy the cartoon.
Someone reboot this show STAT!
