I didn't watch this show or Hercules when they came out. I mean I would invariably see an episode from time to time. I remember thinking Gabriel was cute. But, I never was a fan.
This year, my oldest got really interested in Greek Mythology. She is ten, so Percy Jackson and his ilk are the main ones to blame, plus they had a Greek themed encampment for Girl Scouts. Being the awesome dad that I am, I remembered that Xena was not only a strong female rolemodel, but also loosely based on Greek Mythology.

We requested season one from the library and now both of my girls are running around the house screaming yayayayayayayayayaya. I guess that means that I did a good job in picking things they would like. Oh, and Gabriel, what the heck was I thinking, Xena is way hotter.

I watched Xena, though not much of Hercules -- perhaps for obvious reasons. (I was a big Gabrielle fan..)
They had some decent story arcs, though the writing and acting was -- errr -- not first rate.
the later season went totally crazy, when they decided to put in modern jokes and stuff. I liked the first season best. And I adore Lucy Lawless in SPARTACUS too :)
I never liked Gabriel.
And my favourite Karl Urban appears often in XENA as Cupid and as Caesar :)
had no idea Karl Urban was in it. will look out for him. I didn't appreciate Lucy Lawless' beauty until I saw her in BSG.
I definitely had a crush on Gabbie when I was younger, as well. Lucy Lawless is simply all kinds of hot and now I guess I'm just old enough to appreciate it.
