What was the last fantasy-esque series? Xena?

The series really did fall on it's face in book 5. Stopped being a good story and became some sort of pseudo political rant highlighting the virtues of libertarianism or something. Really turned me off the books in general.
If you don't count Beast Master, Xena and Hercules were the last big name fantasy series. Disturbingly, both were directed at times by Sam Raimi. Perhaps he'll cast his brother in the Sword of Truth series as a lovable comic relief character, for a change.
