XWP Comedies Post Season 3/4
I never gave it much thought until this thread @ Talking Xena forum:Are you Herc fans Xena fans too?Quote:And the thing that made A Day In The Life funny, was that they didn't try so hard to be funny,...

Well, I have always liked the dark/dramatic episodes of Xena more.That said, I did enjoy the humour more when it was mixed in the style of season 1/2 episodes. I cannot think of many of those episodes...

There are Herc fans here. I agree that none of the comedies after Season 3 reached the brilliance of A Day in the Life and Season 3's Big Three: Been There Done That, The Quill Is Mightier, and Fins,...

Well, I'm a fan of Hercules, although I prefer Xena. But I thought Hercules followed similar pattern to Xena in that a completely comical episode could follow a serious drama.So I'm not quite sure I'd...

Interesting post. This is actually something that my brother and I have discussed before. We've come to the conclusion that (for us at least) as the series progressed there was just too much daylight...

I do agree with Haeph that the increasingly sharp separation of comedies from dramas from Season 3 onward was generally not good for the show. In Season 1, I don't think you can even single out the...

Actually I did feel it went downhill after season 4, Though In season 6 I did enjoy at least 2 of them. Season 5 was a bad year for comedies, though I did like Punch Lines a bit. But it doesn't...

I thought Lyre, Lyre had some pretty good comedy moments. Though I didn't care much for the music.If there was going to be one man in Xena's life, it would be Ares. - Renee O'ConnorThey have this...

Lyre Lyre wasn't so good, TBS was the only musical that they worked harder on, and the songs were orignal, like Lyre Lyre they just got songs that were taken from someone else....

I think that H:TLJ was a series that lent itself much more readily to comedy eps, as it kept its tongue firmly in its cheek for most of the show's run (except possibly S5). Herc was a much less...

As a rule I'd say I prefer the dramatic ones although BTDT and ISAIH are two of my favourites. I don't really think of ADITL as a comedy. More of a relationship episode. But Gabrielle constantly...

*waves* I LOVE Hercules, and I re-watch it more than Xena. I have most of Herc on DVD and Xena only on video. Anyway.Some of the later 'comedy' episodes were just as hard to watch as the darkest eps...

I do consider ADITL a comedy. Almost like a spoof, right? Xena and Gab wake up, someone tries to kill them in the morning, someone asks for their help, solve their problems, go to sleep. Only this...

CasualFan-Quote:I liked OAHAF and YAT in S6 because they seemed to mark a return to letting the characters create the comedy, rather than forcing "funny" situations on them. You don't think humour in...

I'm pretty much with you CF although I do think that there were moments at least in the later comedies that were awright.Lyre Lyre is a guilty pleasure of mine. I hated Draco's singing but I liked a...

Draco was rapping not singing lol I thought he sounded pretty cool. Xena however made me cringe Still got a good laugh though [ FLOACiST ][ FLOACiSM ][ FLOETRY ][ FLOETiC ][ FLO'OLOGY ]Phenomenal...
