KING

If I had to pick a favourite out of all the shows I have worked on, this would be it. This show had everything you could ever want in a kids program, from farting swaps to giant robots. There was enough creatures, kingdoms, underground worlds and places to make one of those "Field guide" books.

It is basically a kid finds a secret passage under his bed to a weird world where he is king and does whatever he can dream up. He soon learns of other kingdoms in the land of Under that want his kingdom for themselves and has to defend it with his weird friends who live here. There is also many other adventure that happen during his reign, like trips to space, stopping the next ice age, fighting the pickle zombie invasion and even had to keep the land of Under from splitting in two.

It ran on the "Family channel" for a number of year ,but I am not sure exactly who else picked it up. I watched every time I could and have them all on VHS since it has never been put on DVD, but I"m still hoping.

That's awesome! King was definitely a favorite show for me as a kid. Shame barely anyone outside of Canadian 2000s kids like me has ever heard of this show. I wish it would've at least aired in the USA.

I actually did a review of King on my YouTube channel about two and a half years ago. Give it a watch if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKMoY0-7_No

I'd love to hear some feedback on my review from someone who actually worked on it. And hey, if you're still in touch with anyone else who worked on King, feel free to pass my review along to them. I've actually got some questions I'd be interested in asking to one of the show's main players, like creator Gordon Coulthart.

P.S. Thanks for reading this comment on this 9 and a half-year-old blog post of yours, Phil.
