Xena: Warrior Princess The Complete Series (Seasons 1-6 Bundle)

There's not much detail here with regards to this set, so I thought I'd supply what I've been able to find out (basically, what Creation has published). What we have here is basically a "fan's collection" of favorate Xena and Gabby "relationship" episodes. Thier mythology if you will. This seven disc collection includes episodes from each season of the series (and I have to agree that there are quite a few favorites included here) : Callisto (from Season 1) - A GREAT Episode. Is There A Doctor In The House (from Season 1) A Day In The Life (from Season 2) - One of the most popular. Been There Done That(from Season 3) The Bitter Suite (from Season 3) - The musical episode. One Against An Army (from Season 3) The Ides Of March (from Season 4) Fallen Angel (from Season 5) Lyre, Lyre, Hearts On Fire (from Season 5) Amphipolis Under Siege (from Season 5) Motherhood (from Season 5) Old Ares Had A Farm (from Season 6)- Featuring a great supporting performance by the late Kevin Smith. When Fates Collide (from Season 6) Many Happy Returns (from Season 6) A Friend In Need Parts 1 and 2 (the finale from Season 6) More Details : Original Full-Frame Presentation. 2005 10th Anniversary Xena Convention: This is a yearly Creation Entertainment Event and an outstandingly fun time. Both Lucy and Renee participate. Comic Relief - First time interview with actor Robert Trebor on his character Salmonius. Xena's Hong Kong Origins - Explore the influence on the style and action of Xena by Hong Kong action movies with the show's creators Rob Tapert, Liz Friedman, David Pollison and Doug Lefler. Mythology vs. Xena - Alexandra Tydings and others talk about her Mythological character, Aphrodite in both Xena and Hercules. Alex is a frequent convention guest and a very good actor who seems to appreciate her fans. Nice to see her included here. Seeing Double - Zoe Bell talks about being a female stunt woman and her experiences working on Xena. Extras: A documentary - Explore the life of an extra on the set and at home in New Zealand while working on the production of Xena: Warrior Princess. There are also some fan contest items that to me seem like a lot of filler, but the fans they feature are sure to enjoy them. All and all, this seems a good set. Enjoy. Regards, turtlex

My wife and I became Xena fans when this show was on the air. I devoured Greek myths as a kid, my wife doesn't know how to spell myth, so this show appeals to a wide audience. I thank God that the gods were regulars on the show unlike Petersen's Troy which destroyed that movie experience for me. The gods in Xena seemed true to my earlier readings. Xena is not Masterpiece Theatre but its far more watchable than 90% of current TV, the episodes are visually rich and timeless. The show somehow pulls off a rich soup of ingredients from morality play to comedy and slapstick. Xena's stuggle to atone for her villainous past. Testing of Gabrielle's bountiful optimism. Joxer's plain silliness. Almost every device (gods, demons, heroes and villains) that still haunts me from Greek myths and ancient European history is found in one or more episodes. In short, Xena then and now is great entertainment, they just don't make shows like this anymore. In regards to discs and packaging, I tested every disc soon after arrival and found to each be sound. This was a high speed disc integrity check not by watching, though I have watched about half of the episodes by now. This is a high quality professionally made product.

In many ways Xena is more of a TV icon than Hercules was. The show had something for all audiences and the cast is great. Throughout the series you learn of Xena's past and how she learned her devestating combat skills. The show is filled with comedy and drama in equal abbundance and any fan of Hercules may even enjoy this show more than Hercules. For the male audience, whats not to enjoy? The most beautiful women on tv make frequent appearances on this show AND Hercules. For the female audience there is all the lovey mushy stuff as well as two female heroes. Which brings me to Gabriel, she goes from defensles peasent to being able to whoop whole sale butt half way through the series and you watch her evolve to that. Look past the mostly hokey special effects and you will see one of the most entertaining shows ever broadcast.

Awesome!!! :) :) :) This bundle comes with a box to contain all the series! So beautiful! Each one of the boxes (and the big box too) are still new and sealed! This is the Deluxe Collector's Edition with a lot of bonus contents and there are 53 Discs in total, divided in this way: - Season 1: 6 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (7 Discs) - Season 2: 6 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (7 Discs) - Season 3: 8 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (9 Discs) - Season 4: 9 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (10 Discs) - Season 5: 9 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (10 Discs) - Season 6: 9 DVD + 1 CD-ROM (10 Discs) An amazing addition to all Xena fans!

For those of you who have not seen Xena: Warrior Princess, there's not much I can add to the existing positive reviews. It's great action, at times heartfelt or hilarious or risque. Christians might be offended by the not so subtle references to biblical stories (i.e. "immaculate" conception of Xena's baby.) But the show doesn't take itself seriously either (look for 2 or 3 times when Xena is whistling her own theme song.) To the fans looking for the complete collection, grab it while you can! That is despite the season 1 collection. It's got poor special features and weak video quality that's very obvious on the HDTV. I've seen better quality VHS recordings. Season 2 has the same weak video quality but a few features like occasional commentary and interviews. During the commentary, Bob Tapert's the serious one and Lucy Lawless is laughing at herself like Mystery Science Theater 3000. Certainly interesting to hear her without the American accent. They introduced the concept of Video Commentary, where they show the actors or crew reacting to the episode as they're watching it. You can't watch that instead of an episode (the video commentary is not on the complete episode) but there is some value added to see their reactions. Season 3 is when the video quality got much better and the features excellent. I'm almost through season 5 of 6 and the features pretty much stay consistent from there. Overall this is well worth it.

Especially since it is so affordable. Although the boxset is a bit bulky, especially compared to the recent release of Season 1 being the size of a single DVD, it is still worth the expense if you don't want to wait for all the seasons to come out in that size. Some of the parts of episodes might skip a bit, but with a DVD pack of over 30 DVD that is kind of expected. Still, good quality, and contains a few extras that diehard fans would love to see. Xena is without a doubt a legend, both within this series and its name, so its worth the dipping into the rain fund.

My six year old daughter and I have watched the series together twice and I still love it. Yes, there are scenes and episodes that are pretty ridiculous, but I can't help but like this show still. It is rare to have two characters that are so amazing together, obviously that would be Xena and Gabrielle! I love the connection that they have. I wish this show would have lasted a bit longer. I was not one of those that was disappointed in the show, but I wish they would have done something that could make it so a TV movie or something could be made again. Oh well. It is almost time to watch the series again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best box set I have ever purchased!

got my DVDs as promised, and quickly. I'd buy from this vendor again
