    Herc and Xena started a little before Buffy and I believe they even continued on into the first few seasons of Buffy too. At least Xena did.

    In hindsight it seems like a lot of people have overlooked Hercules and Xena because of this. There's also Charmed but man that is supposed to be bad. But maybe only later on? I haven't watched Charmed at all. Cole looks hot.

    Anyway, I grew up with Hercules and Xena, watching more of the former than the latter because I was a little kid. i liked how silly Hercules was and I had no appreciation for Xena's more mature atmosphere. (or her body)

    The tragic thing is that Hercules and Xena are kinda remembered in a bad light by a lot of people in spite of how immensely popular they were at the time. Not a completely bad light - the makers of God of War knew they had to get Kevin Sorbo to voice their version of Hercules so that says something. But it just seems like a lot of people think of Herc and Xena as "those cheesefests I watch if I want to kill an hour." For more serious drama or characters, they're gonna watcH Buffy or Angel.

    Is it because of writing quality? Setting? The ridiculously bad CGI? Who knows. But Hercules and Xena remain near and dear to my heart even to this day. And while Willow and Tara were the first blatant lesbian couple, I thinK Xena's fanbase speaks for itself in showing how obvious it was that Xena and Gabrielle were romantically involved. If nothing else, the LBGT crowd still recognizes how legimately great Xena was.

    To conclude on 90s Fantasy shows - we cannot forget Highlander the TV Series! Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod would nail Buffy, Faith, Willow, Tara, Vamp Willow, Cordellia, Fred, Illyria, Glory, Harmony, Xena, Gabrielle, Callisto, Aphrodite, the three Charmed girls and any other piece of tail on the shows.

    Xena lasted until 2001 so it co-existed with Buffy for a while there. Hercules ended two years prior to Xena.

    Charmed goes through stages of brilliance and utter cheesiness and the acting at times is like "lol."

    Lucy Lawless looked fantastic in Spartacus Blood and Sand too let alone BSG. She's one of these women whom if anything has gotten hotter as she got older.

    Kevin Sorbo was in the equally cheesey Andromeda which I'm somewhat proud to say I managed to sit through every episode of recently. It was the ultimate sci-fi cheese fest and I enjoyed every second of it. I need to do a Xena/Hercules cheese fest soon.

    holy crap, that takes me back to the sweetest era of my childhood- both were smurfing popular in Greece, with stickers albums and all that.
    I watched both, but I had more of a soft spot for Hercules, man that was legendary even before Barney Stinson.

    very, very enjoyable shows along with some (well, weren't most of them anyway lol) troll episodes.

    oh, i also shipped joxer and gabrielle yeah, one of my first ships

    THANK YOU! I've been trying to remember the name of that show forever, but all I could remember were the three women walking towards the screen to "In the year 2525."

    I know this because a) I used to watch this show more than I would care to admit and b) this was the first role I saw Gina Torres in, and I couldn't stop laughing to myself about it the first time I saw Firefly.

    In other news, I get to watch Xena atleast once a week in my weekly Parks and Rec watch. She is looking mighty fine for a suburban American mom.

    Ah I loved these shows as a kid. They seem to be rather hard to find online, I keep getting a Xena porn movie coming up in my searches. Ah well I'm not complaining.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
