There's some funny lines in this ("I'm not the one with the fungus among-us" ), but it's a good comedy rather than a great one.

I thought the episode was very funny Especially when Gabby started talking funny and when Joxer "cooked" for the army.

Ack! As a person who is obsessive about her hygiene I found this ep a little hard to stomach...especially when that was the subject for all of the comedy. Not a terrible episode, but not a favorite.

I bet this would be a hard episode to watch for someone who gets freaked out by germs and such. I know I scratched my head a lot throughout the hour and even for hours afterwards.

Well (and this may qualify as TMI) when I was little I actually *HAD* lice...so I was watching that episode like: "*GASP*! That's not funny!"
LOL

I never had lice until I was in my 20s, and I got them from the 6-year-old I was babysitting. They are not fun.

Reminds of the Sunday morning many years ago when my best friend called me bawling her eyes out...40 years old & she had gotten lice from her neice spending the night. Yes, I sat on a milk crate on the floor with her sitting between my legs all day long, combing each individual strand of her long, curly, auburn locks....friends are wonderful people!! I love the ep! The humor is priceless, IMO, & the scene between Xena & Argo at the end...always tears me up!

I recently watched this episode again with a group of friends. I'd forgotten how funny it was; or maybe it was just the company I was with; we laughed through the entire thing.
A couple of days ago, another friend and I got into a discussion about how the media in general takes itself too seriously, and somehow the conversation rolled around to Star Trek. I never watched it, except maybe a couple of episodes, but the the gist of the conversation was how William Shatner overacted his part, and then, played upon that years later, making quite a nice bundle poking fun at himself.
The same can be said of Xena, I told my friend. The show never took itself too seriously, and often even during the more dramatic episodes a bit of comedy was thrown in for good measure. Comedy, in Xena? he asks, (I've given him a handful episodes to watch before but they were always the more serious ones). Yes, yes, comedy, I say. A few completely slap-stickish episodes, and you've got to see the one with the rabid saber-tooth killer bunny. Too funny.
Like a good friend, he agreed, rolling his eyes in that she's-still-trying-to-convert-me way.
Pfft. He disliked it; said it was dumb, and didn't even think the killer bunny was amusing. He did though like "The Plays the Thing" which followed "In Sickness and in Hell" on the tape. Go figure. I disliked that episode, and thought it was dumb.
I've still got about five and a half seasons of tapes left he hasn't seen. He will eventually come around. (rolls eyes)

I give this episode a high rating just for the little sounds the lice made. Funniest thing ever.

One of the best things about RenPics shows were the sound effects.

Enter two more fans into the Xenaverse realm. LX's best friend slept over this past weekend, and we finally got around to our Xena Marathon - which lasted only three episodes because I was too tired to stay up past three in the morning. And after three episodes, they are hooked.
Watching Xena with just-barely-teenagers is a completely different experience than watching with adult friends, Hubs, or even with LX when she was younger - about BP's age now. We watched "In Sickness and In Hell" - one of my favorite comedic episodes. They laughed at the killer bunny, loved the talking lice, and "eewwwed" while giggling at Gabrielle's drool.....but the scene they thought was the most funny - the one we had to rewind and watch over again twice more, was something I didn't even give a notice to all the other times I've seen this episode.
It was the one in which Argo first appears at the warlord's camp. The camera shows the bad guys, and the scene is dark and gloomy. Flash to Argo standing on a hill, and the background is like a sunrise - the sky is streaked with shades of pink and gold; Argo's mane blows in a gentle breeze. Back to camp: a black sky flashes lightning. Argo: breezy and beautiful. Camp: stormy. Argo: sunlit and serene. I'm not sure why this brought on hysterical fits of laughter, but it did, (it could have been the late hour). Each repeated scene change was accompanied with sound effects and hand motions from the girls - musical suspense sounds with scary-like wiggly fingers for the warlord scene, changing to "ahhhhhh's" with spreading arms open for hugs for Argo.
I joked with them that this was a perfect representation of a teenager: dark and stormy one second, and happily serene the next....repeated over and over again. Throughout the rest of the weekend, the sound effects and gestures combo became "our thing", as LX puts it - a mother/daughter signal to let the other know moods need to be checked.
Gods help me, I wonder what's next? Another marathon is planned for the upcoming weekend.

Oooh! It all sounds like such fun. I get a yearning to get out the DVDs and start from the beginning to end again, but I never make the time.
Unfortunately for the new viewers, some of the seasons are getting harder to find. Apparently they aren't reproducing any of the boxsets anymore, and once those in stock are gone, they're gone.

Shoot, I really need to break down and buy the boxed DVD sets before I can't find them anymore. I have everything on VHS given to me by a good friend. They even have the "next week on Xena", and the commericial breaks, (which we had to actually watch because the girls thought some of those "old commericals" were funny). Unfortunately, some of the tapes are wearing thin, and the sound quality is starting to go.

DVD recorders are getting cheaper ... you should burn those tapes to DVD and put them up for safe keeping. In the meantime: Xena: Complete Series.
