What Might've Been: Wizards & Warriors (1983)

 In the early 80's, role playing games, or, RPG's, were becoming a thing. I know this for a fact because my brother was in a group that got together every weekend, just about, for marathon sessions that spilled well into the wee ones.

So, it's fair to assume that Wizards & Warriors, a winter-spring replacement series for CBS that aired in 1983, might've been aimed at the RPG audience, as well as devotees of classic sword & sorcery.

Jeff Conaway ("Grease", ex-Taxi) and Duncan Regehr are warring princes. Julia Duffy and Randi Brooks co-star.

Following is the intro.


Regehr would cross over to the side of the good guys as Zorro 7 years later. Julia Duffy followed up Wizards with a more successful run on Newhart.

No rating. Saturdays back then meant bowling with my folks.
