Xena was so hilariously lame. It was perplexity terrible in every single way.

And that was ironically it's one positive. It was so bad it was hilarious. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers gave it a run for its money in writing, acting, and production value.

Which is why the reboot will probably suck because nobody makes campy trout anymore. Also, Xena always had those moments where everyone involved knew how terrible and cheesy everything going on was and had no problem letting their self-awareness show from time to time. From the whole lesbian announcement it sounds like they're going to take themselves seriously this time, and Xena taking itself seriously is like a salad with no dressing.
