Blazing Dragons, from 1996
Terry Jones (Yes, that Terry Jones, the Monty Python one) created this utterly absurd series about a time in the Court of Camelhot, where the Dragons of the Square Table, led by the noble King Allfire and Queen Griddle as they face assorted nonsense.
Note the line in the song which goes: "We're straight, and true, and good and kind" with a different dragon for each word is as subversive as it gets as
"Straight" is Sir Blaze, "The Smartly Dressed and Fashionably Late", whose shall we say, more openly gay leanings were trimmed from the US broadcast version. The wink as be proclaims he's straight says it all really
"True" is Sir Burnevere, "The Overly Educated", who may speak the truth, but uses words that no one else udnerstands.
"Good" is Sir Hotbreath who is not bad, per se, but has a tendency to torch everything in sight uncontrollable.
"Kind" is Sir Loungelot, the lazy, arrogant Head Knight, who takes credit for everything that goes well (When the hard work is done by his smart and actually brave quire, Flicker)
I also love that the whole line is
"We're staight and true and good and kind
And we're very good at knitting.
THAT DOESN'T RHYME! THAT'S OKAY
WE'RE GOING TO SING IT ANYWAY!"
This is delightful :D
I actually grew up watching this show, although I don't remember much of it.
