A dozen years ago, I caught about two minutes of an animated show on television. I don't know the name of the show or which channel it was on, but I do know that it was quite late at night in spring 2006 and I've been wondering about it occasionally ever since. I have so few details about this show that I have hesitated asking this question for several years.
What I do have is a fairly narrow time frame for when I saw it, because I was at the first bar to re-open in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, so it was definitely between April and June of 2006, well after dark but before 1am Central Standard Time (there was still a curfew in effect). It must have been available via satellite because the cable companies still hadn't reconnected that part of the coast. The bartender was channel surfing, so I didn't catch much, and I wasn't able to hear any of the sound due to the noise at the bar, but it looked incredible, and I remember only the following:
- It looked like an animated Conan the Barbarian
- It was not a children's show (reminded me of Heavy Metal)
- The animation was somewhat gruesome and detailed
- I think I saw a nipple (maybe this narrows down the channels?)
That is quite literally all I have to go on. I have not seen anything remotely like this on television since then. What on earth was the name of this show (was it even a show)?

That would be Korgoth of Barbaria, an animated pilot that was not picked up. It aired in the summer of 2006.
Per Wikipedia:
Koroth is infected with a deadly parasite by Gog-Ma-Gogg and extorted to steal an item known as "The Golden Goblin of the Fourth Age" from the wizard Specules, whom Gog believes to have recently died. He journeys with a group of Gog-Ma-Gogg's henchmen to Specules' castle, picking up a girl and killing several things along the way. The group reaches the castle, considerably smaller than when it had left, and begin to plunder it. As Korgoth searches for the Golden Goblin, Specules returns, explaining that he was on vacation. Specules uses his magic to kill or incapacitate all but Korgoth, who proves too strong for the ridiculous creatures that the wizard conjures through chewing gum. As a last resort, Specules uses his magic directly against Korgoth; however, he is knocked off-balance and accidentally kills Korgoth's girl. Angered, Korgoth takes a two-pronged candle stick holder and impales Specules through the eyes, only to find that the wizard has magically transferred his head onto the dead girl's body. Specules proceeds to fly out the window. Korgoth returns to Gog-Ma-Gogg with the Golden Goblin (a simple modern-age novelty item) and gets the elixir (a laxative) for the deadly parasite, though the elixir takes many seasons to take effect. Korgoth is last seen walking away, pulling a cart full of medicine bottles.

Your answer is the both best and worst news I could have expected. I just found the entire pilot episode on YouTube (is it ok to link this here?), and it was better than I even expected. I am beyond disappointed there aren't any more, and I'm having a mini Firefly moment about this right now.
