Xena was outperforming Hercules by season 2. Usually not by much mind you. This is why Sorbo was requesting darker stories for s3-5 and episode 12-15 of Hercules season 3 was "let's get Xena fans over to Hercules" the reason Armageddon now was continuing a plot thread in Xena and featured one of the show's most popular villains and season 5 was finishing off the Dahak storylike that Xena started.

I do not like. He is not nice to Xena, Lucy and the fans, this in spite some are fans to herkules too. Oh he is nice at the conventions. He gets the money for the photo and auto. But so, there is much he has said over the years other wise that is awful. He is homophobic. There is the bad in his facebook about many other things that are not to do with Xena. I do not think he is a good person overall. Lucy is a much better person. She has done more for charity than him too.
ty all for very active Xena board.proof it's still so captivating -

Lucy appears to be a much warmer person than him, so with her, every nice thing she does looks genuine and from the heart.
When it comes from him, it always looks like he's got an ulterior motive. Like a politician. In this case, he's probably trying to repair his reputation. Doesn't seem to be working. Even the way he smiles, it's so fake.
Lucy seems to glow with genuine goodness in every picture I see of hers. -

Yeah, someone who has expressed homophobia, transphobia, anti -semitism, racism, and intolerance toward
other beliefs, or lack thereof, that isn't Christianity is a great person.
Not to mention what a bitter little a-hole he is toward Xena being more successful than his mediocre show.
Why would the majority of Xena fans have any reason to like some smug twit who
dismissed Xena as "that lesbian show" and tried to say Lawless only got the role because she was sleeping with Tapert? -

Me as well. Had the pleasure to meet him at one of his charity events. He's done so much for children's charities both domestically and for foreign aid. I have no doubt he is one of the good guys out there BUT in this highly divisive nation, some of his views aren't embraced by all. But that's true no matter who you point out because the nation is so diverse.

Both Kevin Sorbo and Lucy Lawless seem like unpleasant and arrogant people to me. I guess the antagonism between them and their fanbases is kind of comparable to Republicans vs. Democrats. But I don't think Kevin Sorbo is simply jealous. He seems mostly irritated that his own show got neglected in favour of Xena. Openly suggesting that this happened because Lucy Lawless was sleeping with the producer may not be the most decent thing to do, but that doesn't mean it's not true. I personally believe it's one of the reasons.
I thought he was a good Hercules
