Whilst shown in kid time of comics, a lot of the jokes are aimed at adult level. Original, witty, quirky & entertaining, worth watching. It is set in the Middle Ages and centers on a powerful yet cowardly barbarian named Dave. Together with his sisters Fang and Candy and their Uncle Oswidge, a wizard, the family is in temporary rule of the fictitious land of Udrogoth. The King and Queen are off "fighting evil" and sometimes make an appearance via crystal ball. The show juxtaposes both the modern and the ancient.Candy, for example, shops in the local mall and uses the crystal ball for online shopping sprees. Occasionally, the audience is addressed directly by the characters which is a useful effect. There is a narrator, known as the Storyteller-- sometimes referred to as the Narrator. His role in the show is pivotal as he controls what happens in the story. He is able to talk to the characters of the show, and vice versa. In fact, he was once captured by Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy, and was forced to read narration where Dave loses to him. In Australia its on Channel 7 on Saturday morning, and I hope it continue's to be shown.
