Comedy Central's outrageous parody "Krod Mandoon" is a Thursday TV pick

"Krod Mandoon and the

Flaming Sword of Fire"

It may not be to everyone's taste, but in last week's episode when hero Krod (Sean Maguire) and his band of warriors ended up in a hot tub with a Cyclops, I knew this new outrageous parody series had found a place in my heart. And I just love the bumbling evil Chancellor Dongalor (Matt Lucas of "Little Britain USA"). 10 tonight, Comedy Central (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
