Premise:
The adventures of Hercules and his best friend, Iolaus, which are often hindered by the jealous gods.
From Anchor Bay:
Long Ago... In a time of myth and legend, when ancient gods plagued man with suffering - only one man dared to challenge their power. Hercules! Kevin Sorbo's fresh, hip and good-natured spin on the legendary hero carried this witty, adventure-filled action drama to high critical acclaim. Smartly combining ancient myth with contemporary sensibilities, the series became one of television's highest rated programs.
Comments:
Good old swashbuckling fun with a moral to just about every story. The series created a stable of recurring characters, many of which went on to also appear in Xena: Warrior Princess. This New Zealand-based production was basically a live-action cartoon, but was generally fun to watch week in and week out. The shows that have tried to copy it in style have all failed miserably.
