Hey did you know Hercules was canceled during a shortened 8 episode season and the series finale included a cgi purple fart monster? And that the real finale was just shoehorned into a Xena episode as like a favor I guess? Just thinkin of that no reason

Rob Tapert was married to Lucy Lawless btw so maybe bad mouthing his wife to the point everyone on set had to spit when Xena was mentioned probably wasn’t good for your show

in case you’re curious how fast people realized Xena was better, she was planned to be killed off during Herc’s first season, was popular enough to head her own spinoff on that initial appearance, and then eclipsed them during her second season/their third, and every season after

Michael Hurst, amazingly, did not break his back from carrying the entire Hercules show on his shoulders

Xena was supposed to be killed off after 3 episodes but was popular enough to get her own spin-off; meanwhile Hercules had to have a backdoor finale in Xena.pic.twitter.com/8PpCgsREue

iirc the studio greenlit the spinoff before it even aired from the sheer power of the dailies alone.

I have Xena and Young Hercules on DVD, and I keep thinking “well, for completion’s sake, I SHOULD get Hercules.” Then I remember Sorbo would be the focus and I’m just... “But I don’t wanna!”

Right? I want to share all that with my daughter some day, but... *flails a bit unable to express herself*
