Dungeons And Dragons Tv Series Views
Dungeons & Dragons is an animated television series based on TSR's Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. A co-production of Marvel Productions and TSR, the show was popular in the United States and ran for three seasons on CBS. The show's story editors were Hank Saroyan (who voice directed the series) and Steve Gerber, both of whom contributed episodes and had a firm hand in the writing of the series.
The level of violence was controversial for American children's television at the time, and the script of one episode, The Dragon's Graveyard , was almost shelved because the characters contemplated killing their nemesis, Venger.[2] In 1985, the National Coalition on Television Violence demanded that the FTC run a warning during each broadcast stating that Dungeons & Dragons had been linked to real life violent deaths.[3] The series spawned more than 100 different licenses,[4] and the show led its time slot for two years.[1][4]
A Dungeons & Dragons toy line was produced by LJN in 1983,[8] including original characters such as Warduke, Strongheart the Paladin, and the evil Wizard Kelek that would later appear in campaigns for the role-playing game. None of the main characters from the TV series was included in the toy line, but a connection does exist, as Warduke, Strongheart, and several characters from the toy line occasionally guest-starred in some episodes of the series. Only in Spain and Portugal were PVC figures of the main cast (Hank, Sheila, etc.) produced.[9][10]
In Region 2, E1 Entertainment UK (formerly Contender), originally under license from Twentieth Century Fox and later from Disney, released Dungeons & Dragons on DVD in the UK in four volume sets between June 27, 2005, and January 15, 2007. They also released a complete series set on October 18, 2004, prior to releasing the 4 volume sets.
