I try to like both shows, but somewhere around season 3 or 4, Hercules just got... BORING to me. I never really watched the whole run on TV, so I've bought all the DVD's. I have all 6 seasons of Hercules and 6 seasons of Xena... and I watch them pretty much at the same time.
It seems to me Xena has less "slapstick" humor, and she does things that make sense... she rides a horse, her fight choreography is wicked, and her character is very detailed, with so much history that we discover as the show progresses.
Hercules just feels lame... too slapstick and I don't know... boring. I'm on season 5, where the other Iolis from the "evil dimension" has traveled over to our dimension and is travelling with Hercules... and the first episode with him in it was just plain HORRIBLE.
Yet the producers had a "behind the scenes" on the episode, talking about how great it was, etc...
I dunno... anyone else get bored with Hercules yet find Xena was awesome?
