Hercules Comes to Earth

In the first episode of this series we see how Hercules came to earth. Since he wins a sporting competition against his friend Theseus, Zeus rewards Hercules by granting his wish to go to earth and fight evil and injustice. Since Hercules would lose his powers on earth, Zeus gives Hercules a "magic ring" which grants him godly strength while on earth.

    Can anyone tell my WHY can't Hercules keep that darn ring on his finger? He would get himself in WAY less trouble if he kept it on! AND why the heck does he keep it in his belt?

    Oh the good 'ole days hide show

    Gotta love those childhood cartoons! Together, they have molded me into the well-rounded person I am today. They just don't make cartoons like this anymore! So bring on the boxed DVD sets so we can all re-live a little part of our innocent past with those classic, one-of-a-kind gems.

    I can see Newton running for Herc's bow & arrow so he can skillfully duel those horrible shrieking, flame-blowing, earth-destroying monsters.

    Why do I need a minimum of 100 words? I've gotten to the point of just rambling on now & it still doesn't seem to be enough. Okay there, finally!

    Do you agree?

    This show came on in syndication when I was little and loved it fond memories. Too bad I can't say the same for other shows like rocket robin hood.
