Humans make me laugh

Netflix informs me that a particular show is "[a] family-oriented retelling of the King Arthur legend".

Do you even have anything left if you take out all the bits generally not considered "family-oriented" by American culture? I guess the first part of T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone might count, if you took out the more gruesome parts of his adventures in animals and a fair bit of miscellaneous other stuff. Maybe.

They probably also completely left out the bit about "You guys won't quit jockeying for position? Fine. I'll get a goddamn round table and you can try to find the 'head seat' on that!"

My impressions of knightly adventures of the mythos (non-lurve-related ones, that is) are limited to endless Grail-questing and the story about "he said I could cut off his head this year if he cut off mine last year and he didn't die when I cut off his head and what do I dooooo?" It's possible that I don't have a complete grounding in the possibilities, though. :)

(And I guess the stuff from Eager's Knight's Castle, but for some reason that never registered as Arthurian to me, although of course it's depicting childish fanfic thereof.)
