“Justice League” is almost porn to those us raised on DC comics. Kevin Conroy, the voice of “Batman” from the ‘90s animated series, returned in 2001 to voice again the Caped Crusader, but the series brought to animated life many theretofore unvisited corners of the DC Universe.

A yappy, wearying and mostly unfunny series that struggles to make sport of, among other things, “The Lord of the Rings,” “Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire” was created by Peter Knight, whose credits include UPN’s “Sweet Valley High” and “Breaker High” and Fox Family’s “Big Wolf On Campus.”

The title character is played by Sean Maguire, the fitness-model-like actor who played King Leonidas in 2008’s big-screen “300” parody “Meet The Spartans.”

An unusually expensive-looking series for Comedy Central, “Krod” is in no danger of making anyone forget about the less expensive-looking but utterly hilarious “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” which did this sort of thing with far more confidence and aplomb 35 years earlier.

Entertainment Weekly gives it an “C-plus” and says:

… The fantasy spoof's gags are infantile, but a John Rhys-Davies cameo brings class to a show that boasts a running joke about bestiality. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

… reminiscent of Mel Brooks' later, more broad and less funny films (think: "Robin Hood: Men in Tights") …

The Boston Herald says:

… The show should be stamped with a warning label: It’s yet another dismal effort from Media Rights Capital, producers of ABC’s “Surviving Suburbia” and several short-lived CW shows. Go ahead and watch, but don’t blame me when brain matter starts to dribble out your ears.

The Boston Globe says:

… Very early in tonight's hourlong premiere, at 10 on Comedy Central, I wanted to find an escape hatch out of the relentless, mediocre spoofery that so desperately wants to remind us of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." …

Variety says:

… has the sword-and-sorcery look and trappings down, as well as a feel for the stilted dialogue and conventions associated with the genre. It's all so broadly played, though -- and, as underscored by Maguire's feature resume, has been done so many times before -- that even a less jaded audience is less likely to laugh lustily than simply nod along in recognition. …

The Hollywood Reporter says:

… The lines that are meant to pass for jokes in a fantasy-action spoof fall flat, and the series humps its one-note premise to death within 10 minutes, making the premiere episode one of the longer one-hour slogs in recent TV memory. …

Before Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof ginned up “Lost,” they were coming up with adventures for Cheech Marin’s character in “Nash Bridges.”
