"Takes One to Know One" is the kind of episode that epitomizes what I love about Xena. Seemingly never satisfied and not wanting things to get state, the creative team behind Xena was always ready to take a chance. Whether it was the action, drama, romance, comedy, musicals, fairy tales, or whatever – Rob Tapert and Company weren't afraid to take Xena and Gabrielle on any journey. As a fan, it's awesome! With "Takes One to Know One", Xena is thrust into another favorite genre of mine – the old, dark house mystery. The episode successfully melds the action of the show with mystery and comedy elements. The solution to the mystery is pretty far-fetched but a lot of fun to watch. The end result is one of those episodes I can watch over and over again.

"Takes One to Know One" is primarily played for laughs. And Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi steal almost every scene in which they appear - especially those scenes that they are in together. It's easy to tell they're old friends who are used to playing off each other. You just get the feeling, however, that the best and funniest stuff was probably left on the cutting room floor.
