ACTION ADVENTURE SUFFERS A MORTAL BLOW WHEN THIS SHOW ENDS

Straight to the point,no t.v.series from anywhere in the world ever has come close to the magnificence of "HERCULES" and "XENA" From the very first telemovie to the most recently aired episodes a standard in televisual action/adventure has been set which is unlikely ever to be surpassed.Action adventure will suffer a mortal blow when this show ends. The fabulous special effects and second to none fight sequences would alone be enough for this series to soar but the real icing on this cake of cakes are the wonderful performances of Kevin Sorbo as Herc and Michael Hurst as his friend Iolaus.Watching them perform together and singly is a pleasure and who cares if there have been sub-standard episodes along the way.Even these dwarf the best episodes of any genre show since t.v. began.It seems that U.S.fans damn a series forever if one episode is deemed to be below par.This is fandom mentality and it is rife in the U.K.also as anyone who has read the ramblings of the mad harridans who contribute to the British fan mag "DISPATCHES FROM OLYMPUS" will testify.Some of these so-called fans threatened to boycott the stations that show "HERCULES" because they were disappointed by one as then unseen plot point.Ignoring these idiots,however,any viewing of the best episodes of "HERC" is a t.v.pleasure unrivalled and with its companion piece "XENA" providing a 90 episode(at the time of writing)saga of action,love and passion that sometimes even surpasses its parent show,the legacy of Hercules will not pass away quickly.Sorbo,Hurst and all the others should be seen by future generations as the very best that the home screen had presented as the twentieth century drew to a close.
