True or False: The TV show "Xena: Warrior Princess" is a direct spin-off of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?

"Xena: Warrior Princess" began as a spin-off of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" in 1995, while Buffy was still in high school (literally, the show wouldn't exist for two more years). Lucy Lawless first appeared on "Hercules" as a completely different character named Lysia, before the producers went "wait a minute" and created the leather-clad warrior princess role that would make her famous and, many fans argue, outshine its parent show entirely.
