This eight-disc volume includes five movie-length adventures, thirteen one-hour episodes, and numerous bonus features. Narratively, the unfolding story finds Herc doing good deeds wherever he's needed, though his backstory is more interesting, including a dubious relationship with his all-powerful dad (a sweet performance by Anthony Quinn)and a tendency to feel the wrath of Zeus's wife, Hera, simply because Hercules is the philandering old man's illegitimate offspring. The movie cycle ends with Herc in a state of domestic bliss; the subsequent, regular series darkens him considerably but then thrusts him repeatedly into adventures with redemptive possibilities.
Nifty special effects make one believe once again in centaurs, many-headed serpents, a Minotaur, a Cyclops, and several other fantastic species not included in standard references to Greek myths. The regular or recurring cast include Michael Hurst as Hercules's vain, comic-foil buddy, Iolaus; Tawny Kitaen as the hero's wife; and Lucy Lawless in a pre-Xena role (in Hercules and the Amazon Women) and then as the Warrior Princess herself for multiple episodes. All together, this is a show that turned out to be smarter and funnier than anyone might have expected in the mid-'90s, and which holds up very well today. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Hercules The Legendary Journeys - Season 1
Great entertainment for all. Both the feature length films and the hour long episodes are great fun and work on more than one level. The mix of pathos and humour in the approach to these stories is refreshing.
This should be in your TV DVD Collection...
I think I am one of the rare viewers that never really skewed away from this series to it's successful spin-off. No offense, but I preferred this series to the other.

>Season 1 is basically the T.V. movies that spawned the rest of the seasons of Hercules The Legendary Journeys. This DVD set is worth the low price -it is packed with hours of entertainment. I purchased this DVD on a whim because I recalled I watched the show as a kid. The price alone persuaded me to do so. It was probably the best DVD set I purchased -nostalgia overload.

>Some may say that this series was too corny (from other reviews I've read). But that was the point of the show. The action and the comedy were matched well together. This DVD set was more than I had thought it would be. That may be a bit dramatic for a Season 1 set, but you get a lot for not so much!
re: Boring Character, decent action
Yes, Hercules has good action, and isn't quite that bad version storytelling of the Greek Hero.

>YAWN when goody-goody Hercules with NO human weaknesses, temptations, or sensibilities starts to talk. I never did understand how this series became a cult hit. The way Hercules is portrayed in this version is like a medieval Superman. No character, no brains, and all goody-goody boredom. I mean, how entertaining and "off the edge of your pants" can you get with a DEMI-God? You know he'll always win, so what?

>The action scenes are repetative, but at least interesting and campy in a Adam West type of way. I do like the fact that he keeps it consistent with his morals, meaning he never kills and he never uses a sword, unless he has to.

>Xena, though has the plot holes, is far more entertaining; and her character much more endearing and enduring.
