the Hercules and Xena TV series? (though I have sufficient respect for your intellectual capacity for not watching these!!)

Hafriggingrrumph!© The Hercules series was good fun. Not being able to get past the rampant anachronisms is, in my opinion, a sure sign of terminal curmudgeonry. Xena, however seemed to be a little too wrapped up in its militant feminism to admit to a sense of humor although that Georgian(?) bagpipe music in the opening credits was exquisite. "intellectual capacity for not watching these" indeed. They did miss a good chance at a pun when Hercules and Iolaus were stopped on a bridge by some toughs who said they were collecting a toll "for the Glory of Hera". Rather than simply taking the money and thanking them for it, Herc whupped on them and passed.
