Dragons
Lair

Dragons Lair is a short-lived television cartoon series by Ruby-Spears Productions based on the 1983 video game of the same name and only hirteen half-hour episodes were produced.

In 1985, after Dragon's Lair was cancelled, the Saturday Morning block ceased its run.

Between the late '80s and the early '90s, the show's first and only rerun was on the USA Cartoon Express.

The series chronicles the adventures of Dirk the Daring, who is best knight in King Ethelred's kingdom.

Dirk performs all sorts of great deeds while protecting the kingdom and his love, Princess Daphne.

Dragon's Lair boasted an unusual feature: to keep the show in the spirit of the game, before each commercial break the storyteller would ask what the viewer would do to solve the problem facing Dirk the Daring.

After the commercial break, the outcomes of the various choices were shown before Dirk acts on the correct idea to save the day.
