Fantasy never really works well on the small screen, largely because you really have to go all out in order for it to not look ridiculous. However, fantasy that is either part ironic camp (Hercules, Xena) or all out satire (as I imagine this will be) can totally work. I'm very much looking forward to the show, if only because fantasy is a genre that's so easy to mock that everyone does it, but only superficially. Hopefully, these guys will be a little more subtle than your typical fantasy parody.
