"Korgoth of Barbaria" was a pilot episode for an American animated television series created by Aaron Springer, storyboard writer and director for "Dexter's Laboratory", "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy" and "SpongeBob SquarePants". The pilot episode first aired in the United States on June 3, 2006 at 12:30 AM (EST) on Adult Swim. On June 18, 2006, Adult Swim ran a bumper announcing "Korgoth" was officially picked up as a series. Later events, including a formal petition to revive the show, would indicate that it was dropped before production began.

As of Comic Con 2006 the show was scheduled to release sometime in spring of 2007. However, as of December 29th, 2007, the only mention of the show on the Adult Swim website is an intro graphic with the words "you couldn't handle more than one anyway."

The pilot episode followed the exploits of the eponymous Korgoth (voiced by actor Diedrich Bader), and parodied Conan the Barbarian, as well as the sword and sorcery subgenre in general. The show was set in a post-apocalyptic world where sorcery and the remnants of technology exist simultaneously, similar to Thundarr the Barbarian. The heavy metal/thrash metal musical theme was composed by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002626/ Lee Holdridge] .
