Hah. Totally didn't see that Herc/Xena got brought in before I made that post.
But yeah I generally agree with what Kakashi said based on what I've seen. I don't think Hercules (post season 2) and Xena (ever-- not surprising that this lines up with the end of Herc season 2) had too much "fun" in them at all. Most good stories don't take themselves seriously all the time. Herc and Xena definitely had episodes and story arcs where the humor and whatnot was kept in a strong check, enough to make the storylines seem big.
