Talk:Conan the Adventurer (1992 TV series)

Airdates

The article initially claims a premiere date of October 1, but the episode listing says that the first episode aired on September 12. Can somebody please figure out which one is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.83.35.3 (talk) 08:27, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The Show's Title

I very distinctly remember this show's title being "Conan the Barbarian", and no, I'm not confusing it with the movie, because I didn't know that there was a movie until years after the show ended. Perhaps "Conan the Adventurer" is only the Australian title...

Can anyone else corroborate this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.83.35.3 (talk) 08:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I remember the theme song. It was definitely called "Conan the Barbarian." I watched much of this show as a kid, and remember it very clearly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.106.193 (talk) 00:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

The Missing Episode

This series ran for 65 episodes, not 64 as stated on the page. The missing episode's title is "A Needle in a Haystack". In it, Conan's shield is stolen (with Needle inside it), so he has to look for it. For some reason, this episode wasn't included in the Australian DVD release. It goes between Episode 32 (Dragon's Breath) and Episode 33 (Torrinon Returns).

Also, as further proof, Christy Marx (one of the show's main writers) states in her web site that 65 episodes of Conan were made: http://www.christymarx.com/writing/sxsum.htm#conan

Ok, so there are 2 lists of 64 episodes, each with one episode not on the other list. That is the 65th episode. One list has "Needle in a Haystack", one list has "Sword of Destiny". Big Cartoon Database doesn't list Sword of Destiny but IMDB lists all 65 episodes. Looks like the episode guide needs to be edited. Anyone know production order? Not sure if the air order is properly known (Paszaz is not a proper source. They just made up their information and have it fit a formula. They may be responsible for the Thundercats airdate debacle, which despite being contradicted by actual script dates, the bogus airdates are still the more common ones on the internet). --67.176.143.0 (talk) 07:56, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Conan the Adventurer not really related to the cartoon

The comic was actually not really related to the cartoon. It in fact just told stories of his younger years. In fact, many of the stories were acknowledged adaptations of the work and ideas of Clark Ashton Smith, including an appearance by Tolometh, mention of Poseidonis, and mention of the weird of Avoosl Wuthhaquan. None of the characters created for the cartoon appeared in the comic. It told fully the story of the Battle of Venarum, show only fleetingly in fbs previously, in its first issue. [unsigned]

This should be broken up into separate articles! -- Sy / ^(talk) 22:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, the tv series really really ought to be given its own page, so that encyclopedic-quality insults can be laid thick on a new page. -- Sy / ^(talk) 16:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

This series had an Australian DVD (R4) release and the episode listing does not match what is posted in the main article. Here's the listing:

1. The Night of Fiery Tears
2. Blood Brother
3. Star of Shadizar
4. Greywolf of Xanthus
5. Shadow Walkers
6. Conan the Gladiator
7. The Heart of Rakkir
8. The Claw of Heaven
9. Windfang's Eyrie
10. Men of Stone
11. Serpent Riders of Set
12. The Terrible Torrinon
13. Seven Against Stygia
14. Curse of Axh'oon
15. The Red Brotherhood
16. Return to Tarantia
17. The Birth of Wrath-amon (listed on the DVD Menu as The Battle of Wrath-amon)
18. In Days of Old
19. Tribal Warfare
20. Labors of Conan
21. Thunder and Lightning
22. Earthbound
23. The Queen of Stygia
24. The Crevasse of Winds
25. Bones of Damballa
26. Master Thief of Shadizar
27. The Vengeance of Jhebbal Sag
28. Dregs-Amon the Great
29. An Evil Wind in Kusan
30. Conan of the Kosaki
31. The Treachery Of Emperors
32. Dragon's Breath
33. Torrinon Returns
34. The Stealer of Souls
35. The Amulet of Vathelos
36. Hanuman the Ape God
37. Nature of the Beast
38. The Final Hours of Conan
39. Isle of the Naiads
40. Blood of my Blood
41. Amra the Lion
42. City of the Burning Skull
43. Down to the Dregs
44. The Wolfmother
45. The Lost Dagger of Manir
46. Cornucopia of Grondar
47. When Tolls the Bell of Night
48. The Frost Giant's Daughter
49. Son of Atlantis
50. Thorns of Midnight
51. Turnabout is Foul Play
52. Sword, Sai & Shuriken
53. Full Moon Rising
54. Sword of Destiny
55. The Book of Skelos
56. The Vale of Amazons
57. Conn Rides Again (Note: Conn is Conan's grandfather)
58. Escape of Ram-amon
59. The Star-Metal Monster
60. The Once and Future Conan
61. Into The Abyss
62. A Serpent Coils the Earth part 1
63. A Serpent Coils the Earth part 2
64. A Serpent Coils the Earth part 3

I believe this listing is more acurate since the end of Episode 3 Star of Shadizar, the character of Jasmine mentions about going to the city of wizards Xanthus (while Zula leaves saying he needs to attend to things back home), and the Episode Greywolf of Xanthus (listed as episode 4 here)is where they Conan and Jasmine get to Xanthus. [unsigned]

In Conan the Gladiator Conan uses the sign of Jhebbal-Sag, which he learns in Men of Stone - this alone shows that this order is wrong. The correct order of season 1 episodes is this:

1. The Night of Fiery Tears
2. Blood Brother
3. Men of Stone
4. Star of Shadizar
5. Greywolf of Xanthus
6. Shadow Walkers
7. Conan the Gladiator
8. The Claw of Heaven
9. Windfang's Eyrie
10. The Heart of Rakkir
11. The Serpent Riders of Set
12. The Terrible Torrinon
13. Seven Against Stygia

And here's why.

What Venue?

There is one thing missing from this article--the series' venue! Was this first shown on a broadcast network, a cable/satellite channel, or in first-run syndication, and if either of the first two, which specific one? Does anybody know? The IMDb doesn't, and I don't remember, although I do have memory of this program being on. I just didn't pay any attention to it. Ted Watson 22:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion

This article needs to be compressed and speculation removed. I'd do it myself but I'm not an expert on this show. But there is LOTS of speculation. Lots42 (talk) 13:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
