AFAIK, Xena was originally a minor charactor created for _Hercules, the Legendary Journies_. Some TV execs liked her cleavage…err, I mean acting ability, so they gave her her own show.  
BTW, I don’t watch either show anymore. Not even Lucy Lawless could make me put up with those ridiculous fight scenes.
