It uses stop-motion animation, similar to &#8220;Robot Chicken&#8221; on the Cartoon Network (it&#8217;s created by the same people). The show is about a young man named Patrick who yearns to leave his horrible family and be a squire to the king. Along the way, he finds that things in the Kingdom are not what he&#8217;d dreamed.<\/p>\n<p>The series uses both slapstick comedy and wordplay in its humor. It&#8217;s not as gross as some of the animated shows I&#8217;ve seen today. The characters are peg people, similar to Legos. It&#8217;s not a kids&#8217; show, though, because it does have sex, violence and nudity.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\"
