It was only 6 shows but it has held many of our hearts for years. I really feel it lives on in spirit because it has that universal spark that all great shows have. It touched our human spirit, made us laugh and cry. OK mostly laugh, but with it not at it. I think it could have been truly great if the characters could have continued to develop and flesh out over several seasons. It's only fault was that it didn't have enough time.The main premise was daring. A weekly drama set in the middle ages. I mean come on how original is that... I know that Gil Grant has been quoted as thinking Bonanza for the middle ages. But hey Bonanza had that same universal appeal because some basic human needs, wants, desires and, problems with the attainment of such, are so transcendent of time and place. Think Shakespere and the fact there are only 10 story lines the rest is just variations on those ten. There were some rough moments. Moments when the characters didn't have their "gel" down yet. But, you could tell they were having fun. They were professional. They were ready to bring this amazing show on. But, they didn't have the time or opportunity to work on not their craft but their bond. Time people. That is all that was lacking... Too bad.
