"Xena: Warrior Princess" Season One

Make way for one of the fiercest and most dynamic woman warriors to ever grace the tv screen as all 24 Season One episodes of “Xena: Warrior Princess” come to DVD.

Lucy Lawless is Xena, a smart, tough, fearless fighter who travels the dangerous roads of Ancient Greece defending the innocent from the forces of darkness and seeking redemption for her cruel misdeeds of the past.

Along for the adventures is her devoted friend Gabrielle (Renée O’Conner), a compassionate girl who hopes to be a warrior one day, and other legendary figures, including the formidable Hercules (special guest star Kevin Sorbo).

Combining impressive displays of mythology, fantasy, and martial arts, it’s an iconic show that set the bar for all female action heroes.

As a "Hercules" / "Xena" fan I wanted to say this... these new Universal DVD editions suck.

It is bare-bones and it does not come with all of the awesome stuff featured in the original Anchor Bay DVD releases.

If you are interested in either show I would track down the originals and not bother with this. Some folks don't want to bother with used items and if they want something new then I guess they would pick up these new ones.

Go to this website and you can buy the originals here at very reasonable prices - http://www.legendaryheroes.com/
