Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire (properly "Kröd Mändoon," not "Krod Mandoon.") is exactly what you think it's about. Yes, The Hero is named Kröd Mändoon, and he has a flaming sword of fire. The two-part Pilot got 1.6 million viewers, significantly less than The Daily Show and South Park that week. Its creator, developer, and writer Peter Knight said that its humor is influenced by The Simpsons, Get Smart, and Monty Python and The Holy Grail. It aired on Comedy Central and on BBC 2 in 2009.
