The 1997 syndicated television series, Conan the Adventurer, starring two-time Mr. Universe (and FOA, 'friend of Ahnold') Ralf Moeller, is coming to DVD on September 21. All 22 episodes of the series (957 minutes) will be included in the box set, which has an MSRP of $49.99. The one-hour live action Conan the Adventurer series is not to be confused with the early 1990s half-hour animated series also entitled Conan the Adventurer. Believe it or not, the animated series, though geared for young viewers, is actually much better.
Cheaply produced in Mexico by the same bargain basement team responsible for Tarzan: The Epic Adventures and Acapulco Heat, Conan the Adventurer averaged only a miniscule Nielson rating of 1.7 and was cancelled after its first season. Recommended for Conan completists only.
