The New Adventures of Robin Hood

The New Adventures of Robin Hood was a 1997-1998 live action TV series on Turner Network Television. It was filmed in Vilnius, Lithuania. The tone of the series resembled its contemporaries Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.

The series contains examples of:

• Action Girl: Marion
• Air Vent Passageway

  • The Hero: Robin
  • The Lancer: Kemal
  • The Big Guy: Little John
  • The Smart Guy: Friar Tuck
  • The Chick: Marion
• Green Lantern Ring: In one episode, Rob acquires a unicorn horn to fight the Big Bad. He can command it to turn into anything from a weapon, to a ladder, to a length of rope. Towards the end he's flailing a bit, and just yells, "Give me what I need!"
• Historical Villain Upgrade: Rather than merely being a bad king as in most versions, this Prince John gleefully sacrifices peasants to Celtic goddesses.
• How Unscientific: "Marion Saves the Day" was about an alien crash-landing in Sherwood and repairing his space-ship in time before the Sheriff dissected him.
• Laser Blade: No, really. When Marion is kidnapped to be a demon god's bride, Robin shows up with an Unicorn horn that can changed into different energy weapons, one of which is a energy sword. This dissolves into a light saber duel when the lead worshiper possessed by the god reveals his own energy sword.

• The Other Darrin: Barbara Griffin replaced Anna Galvin as Marion in Season 2. John Bradley replaced Matthew Poretta as Robin in Season 3.
