My apologies for not having caught this sooner; there are no further medieval-related programs this month. (Of note, The Twilight Zone episode "Once and Future King," despite its promising title is about Elvis, not King Arthur.)
Chiller, a sibling network to The SciFi Channel, aired "The Last Defender of Camelot" (1986) earlier today. It will repeat early tomorrow morning. The episode is part of The Twilight Zone revival series of the 1980s and is available on DVD. The story is based on a 1979 short story by Roger Zelazny and features Merlin, Lancelot, and Morgan le Fay in a futuristic setting. There is a detailed summary of the television adaptation on TV.com.

Welcome to home page of the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture, a community of scholars and enthusiasts organized to promote and foster research and discussion of representations of the medieval in post-medieval popular culture and mass media. Encompassing material produced from the close of the Middle Ages to today, these medievalisms can be categorized as survivals, revivals, or re-creations of the medieval in post-medieval eras.
