Xena: Warrior Princess “A Solstice Carol”

Xena: Warrior Princess “Callisto”

I’ve noted before that, despite being a spin-off of another show, Xena: Warrior Princess didn’t take long to become the syndicated ratings champion of the 1990s as Star Trek: The Next Generation had been before it. There were many reasons…

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: The 5-episode wedding arc from hell
