These two new half-hour series from the people who gave you Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys are airing together under the promotional banner Back 2 Back Action. Back 2 Back Nonsense is closer to it.
The title character in Cleopatra 2525, played by Jennifer Sky, is a stripper who went into a coma during a cosmetic breast surgery in 2001 and wakes up in the middle of a 26th-century war. Two beautiful, heabily armed women (Gine Torres and Victoria Pratt) allow her to tag allong with them, though she emits ear-piercing screams at any sign of trouble. There are some jokes, but they're hard to hear amid the constant firing of high-tech weapons.
The lighter Jack of All Trades tries with intermittent success to cross the old Wild Wild West with a Mel Brooks romp. Jack (Bruce Campbell), a cocky secret agent swash-buckling for President Thomas Jefferson, hears a French villian's "Sacrebkeu!" and says "Gesundheit!" Such silliness never hurt anyone. Bottom Line: Halfway entertaining
