is it the week of ancient greek heroes on the USA Network

Tonight I caught the end of Burn Notice. Sean has recommended this show, and I'll admit that I've watched a few of the episodes.

The bad guy wasn't really a guy, but a woman, and she looked really familiar. A little internet digging revealed that the would-be assassin (weird word in print, hunh?) was played by Lucy Lawless, the former Warrior Princess known as Xena.

I wondered what Xena was doing these days.

Not really, but whatever.

As the commercials kept me glued to my seat, I heard the name Kevin Sorbo, who will be guest starring on this week's Psyche (another entertaining USA network offering.) You, of course, remember Sorbo from his stint as Hercules. I am sure that you spent many hours enthralled by his Legendary Journeys.

2 former mythological heroes, now doing guest spots on snappy cable shows. Who knew that the USA Network would offer a chance for these one-time heroes to resurrect their careers?

And you thought that there was nothing on TV worth watching...
