Storyline

- TriviaThe show was originally pitched as a comedy series. The basic premise remained the same: approximately 1,000 years ago, Gargoyles were not merely stone statues, but real flesh-and-blood creatures. But, unlike the noble protectors of the final shows, these Gargoyles were mischievous troublemakers who frequently drove the local humans nuts. This development went through several versions before being scrapped, in favor of the now darker, more serious tone of this show.
- Quotes
Goliath: One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of Gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are Gargoyles!
- Alternate versionsIn the Season 2, vol. 1 DVD set, the episode "Vows" ends with Goliath and Demona in the Clock Tower. This is the original ending shot, but it was a glitch. The scene was *supposed* to show them standing in the window of a medieval castle, but the animators screwed up and the initial airing showed the mistake. This was corrected in subsequent airings.
