TV Saturday Morning Cartoon: Dungeons & Dragons

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 8:25 AM

In this edition of Saturday Morning Cartoon, we travel all the way back to the year of our lord 1983 for the animated classic, Dungeons & Dragons. Based on the role playing game, D&D ran for three seasons on CBS, and is famous for its "celebrity" voices (including Willie Aames, Donny Most, Adam Rich and more), as well as being considered pretty violent for its time. Its also notable for having a baby unicorn in the cast, as well as nerdy characters you want to beat senseless. But still fun! (Hopefully this cartoon calmed down some of the hysterical moms of the time who thought the Dungeons and Dragons game was tantamount to their kids worshipping Satan while mainlining Angel Dust.)

Anyway, enjoy this hilariously awkward Dungeons & Dragons episode entitled, "The Dragon's Graveyard"! (And keep suggesting those suggestions for Saturday Morning Cartoon—we'll get to Popeye soon, promise).


Still interested? Here's part two and three.

How about some Foghorn Leghorn. I think that was the name. You know, the Southern chicken. I..I..I say, boy.

Moral of the Story™: Being stuck in Dungeons & Dragons really, really sucks.

You gotta love a cartoon with voice characterizations by Donny Most (Happy Days' Ralph Malph) and Willie Ames (of Charles in Charge fame).
