 Many tv shows, especially fantasy ones, have that one lovely arthurian episode! Here there is a list (I will update it in the future) of the ones I know (feel free to add stuff!). 

Babylon 5 
S03e13 (A late delivery from Avalon) added by @iseesigils 

A man arrive on the station claiming to be King Arthur.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold
s01e05 (Day of the Dark Knight!)

Green Arrow and Batman travel to Camelot times and fight against Morgan le Fay, with the help of Merlin. I haven’t watched it, whops.

Biker Mice from Mars
s03e01-e02 (Biker Knights of the Round Table) added by @sharpsarcasm
They go back to Camelot to stop a villain from destroying Camelot.

Bill & Ted Excellent Adventures (Live Action)
s01e01 (Nail the Conquering Hero)

In this pseudo DW parody, Bill and Ted accidentally sends their boss to Camelot times, exactly at the tournament where Arthur is to become king (and win the hand of Guinevere)… and make him king instead of Arthur. They follow him to Camelot to put Arthur on the throne.

Bonanza
s06e13 (A Knight to Remember)
The main character is arrested as a robberer when some real robbers escape from the crime scenes because they have been scared by a man dressed as King Arthur, impossible to be found now.

Carry on Laughing 
s02e01 (Under the Round Table)

Just a little comedic episode, with a lot of jokes about Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin and incompetence.

s02e04 (Short Knight, Long Daze)
A humorous episode where Arthu visits Merlin for a consultation about his future. The jokes are mostly about incompetent knights, Guinevere dissatisfied with her marriage because Arthur doesn’t want to sleep with her, Arthur not wanting to be king anymore and wanting to find an heir. He basically accidentally creates Lancelot.

Charmed 
s06e08 (Sword and the City)

The Lady of the Lake is running away with Excalibur but when she is killed by a demon the sword ends up in a stone and now it’s up to the three witches to protect Excalibur because every demon wants it. Accidentally, Piper takes the sword out of the stone.

Doctor Who Classic 
s26e01-e04 (Battlefield)
The cruel Morgana and her son Mordred are in modern times to take Excalibur (after Camlann) and defeat the Doctor, who is known in Camelot as Merlin.

Fairy Oddparents 
s02e09 (Knightly Knight)
Timmy goes to a medieval fair but it’s not real or fun enough for him so he wishes to live in real medieval times. There he meets Merlin, Artie’s greedy uncle, who wants Artie to become king at any cost. And of course there are the mythical sword in the stone and a dragon.

s06e07 (Fairy Oddlympics)
Timmy organizes some games to decide who between the Fairies, the Anti-fairies and Pixies are the best in the magical world. The last game is a marathon across various ages and we can see king Arthur in Camelot selling and renting camels.

Family Guy 
s04e13 (Jungle Love)
In a desert island Peter is the richest man and he is so happy that he says that he as not been this powerful since his ancestor king Arthur became king. We have brief flashback of Arthur and Guinevere where the lady promises him sexual favours if he can take the sword.

Fantasy Island
s05e13 (King Arthur in Mr. Roarke’s Court)

No idea.

Gargoyles
s02e21-23 (Avalon)
s02e35 (Pendragon)

Still no idea.

The Ghostbusters (1975) 
s01e14 (Merlin the Magician)
I have not watched it yet!

The Ghostbusters (cartoon)
s01e02 (Frights of the Roundtable)
s01e03 (No Pharoah at All)
s01e38 (Our Buddy Fuddy)

Guiding Light
9 December 1982 episode

Nola dreams she is Guinevere and is back in Camelot with Arthur, Merlin and Lancelot. Unforunately I can’t find this anywhere.

Hercules 
s05e19 (The Once and Future King)
King Arthur, helped by Mab, wants to take a magic sword out of a stone to become king but Merlin advises him that the sword is a curse and he will become a tyrant. Mab objects that Arthur is now under her protection so Merlin, to change history, sends Arthur back in time and asks Hercules to help him.

Justice League
s02e20-e21 (A Knight of Shadows)

Morgana and her son Mordred want to conquer the world. The Justice League fights against them.

s03e03 (Kid Stuff)
After Modred magically eliminates adults from the world, his mother transforms a League team into children in order to do battle with her son in that situation. (Copied from imdb as I did not watch it).

MacGyver 
s07e07-e08 (Good Knight Macgyver)
These two episodes were actually pretty good, if you have the chance to watch them: take it! Macgyver is accidentally hurt and he loses coscience, waking up in arthurian times like the famous “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. During the stories he has to fight against Morgana, save Galahad’s fiance and develop a friendship with the not-so-magic Merlin the Wizard.

MythQuest 
s01e06 (Sir Caradoc at the Round Table)

Robin of Sherwood 
s03e04 (The inheritance)

Isadora is the daughter of Agravaine, a descendent of the arthurian Agravaine. The story says that there must always be an Agravaine in Camelot/Caerleon to protect the round table. Isadora finds Robin to ask him help to defend the castle of her father from bandits who want to steal a supposed treasure.

Sabrina 
s02e11 (Oh What a Trangled Spell She Weaves)

With an enchantment, Sabrina makes Hilda’s precious carpet “return to its place of origin” and then sends Hilda and Zelda to the same place so that they can take the carpet back. The place is Merlin’s castle because the carpe once was Merlin’s. Also: Zelda and Merlin used to be in a relationship 500 years before but their relationship didn’t work out. Now Merlin (who is really a petty and cruel character) wants Zelda to love him again.

s03e02 (Boy, was my face red)
Zelda and Hilda help Sabrina with her problems with being embarassed and ashamed making her see a little movie about king Arthur who, bending down to take the sword out of the stone, hears a crack: it’s his pants tearing.

The Simpsons
s11e05 (E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt))

At the beginning of the episode the Simpsons are at the cinema watching a movie where Zorro has to fight against various enemies to restore king Arthur on his throne in a mix of historical inaccuracies.

Sofia the First
s03e15 (Gone with the Wand)

Thundercats
s01e51 (Excalibur)
Imdb tells me that Mumma-ra learns about Excalibur then he changes into King Arthur, and asks the Lady of the Lake for Excalibur. He meets with the Thundercats, who greet him as a potential ally. 

The Time Tunnel
s01e27 (Merlin the Magician)

Merlin the Magician pulls Tony and Doug from their journey through time and send them to help a young King Arthur fight an invasion of Vikings. 

The Twilight Zone 
s01e24 (The Last Defender of Camelot)

Did not watch it, sorry! But imdb says that it’s about Morgana summoning Lancelot to help Merlin restore Camelot.

A Twist in the Tale 
s01e01 (Obsession in August)

At the beginning of the ‘900, two kids are guest of Lord Arthur, in Cameliard, and his daughter Jenny. Their uncle Lance, Arthur and an old man who clearly represents Merlin are obsessed by the legend of Camelot and are getting closing to finding the real Camelot. A mysterious witch named Morgana doesn’t agree as she wants to protect the secrets of Camelot.

Ultimate Spider-Man
s03e21 (Halloween Night at the Museum)

I have not watched it, but imdb tells me it’s about Spider-Man and Jessie fighting Morgan le Fay.

Winx 
Season 4

The Winx find out that on Earth there were fairies once and that Morgana was their queen. The Winx has to help Roxy, the last fairy on Earth, and free Morgana and her fairies from the Tir-Na-Og, the enchanted world where some evil wizards caged them.

The Zack Files
s02e15 (The Once and Future Zack)

Zack takes the sword from the stone and frees Merlin (basically a kid as Jack) from the stone. Zack has some troubles with his girlfriend Sarah (because he is kind of a jerk) and Merlin, invisible to everyone, tries to help him prove himself to Sarah… even if his own love life with Nimue was a disaster.
