The New Adventures of Robin Hood

[meganbmoore]

As there has been some interest expressed, I bring you pics for the late 90s show The New Adventures of Robin Hood, which tried the  to play Robin Hood myth like the Xena and Hercules shows...except that what worked there failed miserably.  I watched about 10 minutes, and all I recall is Robin, Marian and randoms who I assume were Will Scarlet, Alan A Dale and Little John, bursting into John's throne room with Marian dressed like a Herc/Xena walk on and striking up a pose while Robin did his thing...and that Prince John's mistress or whatever had a poodle.

The first Robin and Marian:

The second Robin and Marian:


Yes, you saw and read right.  Halfway through the series, Robin and Marian were recast and the show didn't explain it.  Not a "Robin died and another Robin took his place" thing...they just had new leads...



More Herc/Xena extras....err...that is...the cast...



"Yes Marian, I'm looking into your eyes.  Honest."


"What, yes we were on watch.  What else would we be looking at?"



Yes Hercules, throw the heavy ro...urm...go Robin!



Robin looks quite a bit like Christian Slater's Will Scarlet here...


"Do we have time to make it to our Xena walkons?"



"What do you mean I have to dress like this in January?"



Wow...these actually look vaguely right(if she goes around in men's clothes without disguising herself as a man)



AUTOLYCUS!!!


"This isn't the oracle set?  Whoops."



"Wh-what happened?  The last thing I remember is a horde of women screaming 'KEVIN SORBO!!!'"



"What?  Wait, I get it with Marian, but can't I please have sleaves in January?  Pretty please?"(NO!!  You must dress like Hercules!)



"LOOK!  For the last time, I'm not Xena, ok?"



"Does that mean you aren't Hercules?"  "Yup.  And you aren't Thor.  Seriously."



AMAZONS!!!!(no really, this episode is called "The Legend of the Amazons")
