fabulous 3rd season of Hercules!!!, April 2 2012
I must say that I loved the episodes of the legendary journeys season 3...i watched just about every one in a very short time!!!I highly recommend this season to anybody who's a fan of Herc and Xena. I look forward to the release of season 4.
my favorite episodes where the ones with the hind and the episode entitles 'surprise' with a fiery calisto..loved every minute of that. As I watched it brought back so many memories! This season is a must have for anyone interested in the legendary journeys.
I would like to thank amazon for such prompt shipping..they said i'd get it 2 days later and i did!!!!!! It was very very very fast.

Yes, Even Better!, Mar 27 2004
This review is from: Hercules:Journeys S3 (DVD)
The first and second seasons of HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS on DVD has been nominated for a prestigious Saturn Award from The Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films. The nomination is *much* deserved and one would think Season Three would not be able to come up to the awesome standards set by its impressive forerunners.
However ....
If anything, Season Three's DVD packaging is even BETTER than Seasons One and Two of this impressive adventure/fantasy TV series! Not only do we get all 22 episodes on DVD, including the stellar "Mercenary", "Long Live the King", "The Hind Trilogy", "Surprise" and the comic "Les Contemptible" -- but we are also treated with interviews and audio commentaries by star Kevin Sorbo and his stunning wife, actress Sam Jenkins Sorbo (who met Kevin during "Prince Hercules"), Michael Hurst (Iolaus), Rob Tapert (executive producer) , Eric Gruendemann (co-executive producer) and Wayne Rose (First Assistant Director). Everyone has something to contribute, including personal recollections of the episodes, friends, stunt men, locations and guest actors. It sincerely adds to a watcher's viewing pleasure.
The quality of each DVD is remarkable; with stunning clarity and audio. The series, filmed in New Zealand, takes full advantage of the glorious scenery which we are treated to in each and every episode. The set pieces, some that are familiar and others which are new, continue to be a spectacular part of HERCULES. As are the wonderful array of guest actors, including the ever talented Rene Naufahu ("The Lady And the Dragon"/TALES OF THE SOUTH SEAS), Claudia Black ("Atlantis"/FARSCAPE), Jeremy Roberts (The Mercenary/THE MEXICAN) , Lindsey (L.L.) Ginter ("Rock and a Hard Place"/PEARL HARBOR, S.W.A.T.) and - last but not least - the late-great Kevin Smith who played Ares, God of War, in both HERCULES - in this season for the first time - and XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS. It was especially touching, while Kevin Sorbo and Wayne Rose were doing their audio commentary for "Encounter", that they acknowledged Kevin Smith and how much he is missed.
By the way, we also get to see some other familiar faces, including Alexandra Tydings (Aphrodite), the ever popular Bruce Campbell (Autolycus), Lucy Lawless (Xena) and Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle) again!
Included in the set I purchased was an extra special CD-Rom disc with chronicles, trivia, bios and mythology. GREAT fun for all! A nifty photo gallery and a web link, where you are connected to the official HERCULES website through your computer, is also included.
With all of this in the third season DVDs of HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS one truly does look forward to what is in store for us in the Season Four release!

Great entertainment, July 24 2011
This review is from: Hercules:Journeys S3 (DVD)
The sets, the locale and the fabulous cast make this series truly enjoyable. The adventures tie in the Greek mythology with modern humor to give the viewer a lighthearted experience, rather than some of the heavier mythological interpretations that are out there. The stories are well thought out and keep you on your toes. Kevin always comes across as a hero and is eminently suitable for this role. I will be buying the rest of the series.
