Personally I loved everything about this show. Action, humor, romance, not to mention several hot guys decked out in leather.
Telling the story of Hercules (the teen years) and his two closest friends Iolaus and Jason, Young Hercules was full of action and adventure. Created by the same people who gave us Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, Young Hercules was a show for children of all ages.
Giving us great tales of the young hero when he still was searching for his father's approval, the show boasted several wonderful recurring characters like Ares (played by the late Kevin Smith), Hephaestus, Discord, and Lilith. Putting new spins on wonderful Greek Myths and Legends.
The half hour show was just getting into its groove when production was cancelled, but left us with 50 great episodes. And did I mention lots of hot guys in leather?moreless

Show Summary
EDIT
Follow teenage half-god/half-mortal Hercules and his friends, Iolaus and Jason, as they learn about life, love and friendship on their action-packed adventures and watch as they encounter Hercules' not-so-loving Olympian family and the consequences of such encounters. Basically a prequel to: Hercules, the Legendary Journeys. The voiceover during the theme went as follows: In an age of light and darkness Zeus, King of the Gods, rules the universe. He had a son, young Hercules. Half-god, half-man, young Hercules longs to find his place in this world... the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero. Before the man became legend... before the legend became myth... came the greatest adventure of all... young Hercules.

Details of the apparent accident were sketchy. Smith, who presumably is no relation to the American director of the same name, had reportedly just completed work on a joint Sino-U.S. production. His death touched off an outpouring of grief on a Xena website as well as eulogies from New Zealand newspaper columnists and political figures. The country's Associate Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Judith Tizard said in a statement, "Kevin Smith was a wonderful New Zealand actor who was known not only for his enormous talent and amazing beauty, but also for his intelligence and self-effacing humor." ==============================moreless
