I. ABOUT HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS

Hercules with Iolaus

Hercules with Iolaus

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is an American television series, filmed in New Zealand. It was produced from 1995 to 1999, and was very loosely based on the tales of the classical Greek culture hero Hercules. It ran for six seasons, producing action figures and other memorabilia as it became one of the highest rated syndicated shows in television history.
The series is set in a fantasy version of ancient Greece not precisely located in historical time. Although set in ancient Greece, the show also has a mixture of Oriental, Egyptian and Medieval elements in various episodes. The show stars Kevin Sorbo as Hercules and regularly features Michael Hurst as his sidekick Iolaus. Robert Trebor often rotates with Iolaus as Hercules’ other sidekick, Salmoneus – ever looking for a way to make a quick dinar. (Taken from Wikipedia)

MY OPINION:
When I first saw the TV movies of this show, I fell in love with it since Hercules was my boyhood hero. I’ve seen Hercules for a long time and must admit i didn’t watch all of the episode. It had great acting, awesome action sequences, and even better creature designs
(though the special effects are really nothing compared to what is being seen now).
The show was enjoyable. Every episode filled with either action, adventure or comedy. And it introduced a lot more people to the mytholgy of the Greeks although it`s inaccurate, since there are many differences from the original mythology.
Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Michael Hurst (Iolaus) give great performances. Kevin Sorbo did a great job at bringing Hercules to the screen. Not forgetting Autolycus portrayed by Bruce Campbell as an accomplished thief.
Anyway, overall it’s good.
