    • Trivia
      The ratings soared to number one in syndicated action shows, passing the seemingly insurmountable Baywatch (1989). Later it would be surpassed by its own spin-off show, Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), which took top spot in Xena's second season. Xena continued to lead Hercules every subsequent year both series aired.
    • Goofs
      Characters often measure distances in the metric system which was gradually developed in the Renaissance, perfected in the late 18th century, and made internationally popular only in the mid 20th century. It can be assumed that conversion to modern units is part of the "translation" we are hearing of what they said.
    • Quotes

      Hercules: This is not my world... DISAPPOINTED!

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits for many episodes include an additional humorous message near the end of the credits. They were usually in the style of the "No animals were harmed..." messages featured in most end credits.

    better than Xena
    Xena has her moments. Sadly, the show is mired in telling similar stories over and over again. More than not, Xena gets into a big fight, worries about Gabriel, and espouses some platitudes about giving up fighting and finding her true path through life. Hercules has been very inventive about killing off loved characters and exposing a mostly lay audience to different myths. While his solutions to most dramatic situations seem trite from time to time, it is important to keep one thing in mind: the show is camp and it doesn't have any pretentions about being something it's not. Cartoony sounds are par for the course, if you ask me.

    FAQ4

    • Why isn't it as popular as Xena?
    • How can Strife die in 'Armagedon Now' but be alive in 'Yes Virginia there is a Hercues' which is set in the present day?
    • Why are there so many episodes with so little Hercules in them?
