OK, I liked Xena more.... but this one came first.

And what it simply was a live action children's action cartoon... or at least the sort of cartoon you would get in the 80s, brought to life in the cheapest and campiest of ways.

Sorbo could do tongue in cheek well, he could look like he was taking the ridiculous seriously, and that was exactly what was needed for the role. But then Xena came along, it was a little more formulaic, it was a little more over the top, and it surpassed the original cheap live action cartoon master.

It's just pure entertainment, and that makes it good entertainment. I love the old shows that were made to keep you smiling, keep you engaged, and not spread any agenda.

You've reached the end.
