I loved Hercules growing up. Still do in fact. I rewatched the entire series on Netflix a few months ago, and the theme song is in my Favorites on YouTube.
Kevin Sorbo's Hercules was definitely one of my greatest heroes as a kid. He was right up there with the White Ranger from Power Rangers, and Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And then there was Xena. I always found Gabrielle to be the more attractive one :P The Xena and Hercules shows collectively got me interested in the works of WETA and Sam Raimi. That, in turn, led me to favor WETA over ILM - I had been a long time ILM fan ever since Jurassic Park (my favorite movie of all time, unflinchingly so). It's a shame we'll never get awesome toys of Hercules. |

Gabrielle was always the one that I could relate to more than Xena although both made a great team to watch kick some ass. Along with Hercules I used to watch early in the morning when I would get home from work. Good times.

I never saw the appeal of either of these shows.
I watched a couple of episodes of each, but neither did anything for me. I should really go back and have a look at these again though, as I felt the same way about Buffy and Angel at the time too. Both of which I watched start to finish with my wife when we first got together as they were her favourite shows. Though they got tedious at times, I am glad I watched them as there was some truely great television in there (the silent and musical episodes for example are, in my opinion, some of the bravest and best television productions ever aired) and some excellent characters and stories are explored throughout the series. I don't know that Xena or Hercules can be held in the same regard as Buffy and (to a lesser extent) Angel, as I don't know enough about them or the production teams behind them. Looks like I need to add two more shows to my long, long list of tv to watch. |

Callisto's got bony legs. She looks and sounds like this kinky girl I worked with in my highschool library. By the way, I took that as an elective after being kicked out of 2 previous ones, and nothing else was left.
I could never watch Buffy or Angel for 2 reasons. Cinematography was an eyesore, and I hate seeing women fighters with horrible fight stances. I concede the fight scenes in Hercules and Xena were cheesy up the wazoo, but there was a ton of charisma in the characters, and the New Zealand settings were nice to look at. |
