"Hercules:The Legendary Journeys" first burst onto television screens as a series of five action-packed movies. But unlike previous Hercules movies, these didn't feature togas and flowery language. Instead, the producers created a Hercules for the '90s, a regular guy who just happens to possess super-human strength and regularly fights monsters and evil-doers. The movies quickly became a hit and a series was born. Now more than five million viewers follow the weekly exploits of the legendary hero. In this official companion to the series, fans of the show get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes "Hercules" so popular. Featuring interviews with the stars and producers; an episode-by-episode guide to the series; a look at the real gods and goddesses behind the myths; dozens of never-before seen photos; and intriguing "Legendary Facts," this companion is a must for fans of all ages.
