What would the series had been like if...?

I was just wondering, to anyone who might see this post, what they think the Young Hercules tv series would have been like if Ian Bohen had still played the part of Hercules and if the series would have been on par with this backdoor pilot and the select H:TLJ season 4 eps. Myself I think the series would have been alot better than what it was if Bohen had returned and the show would have been like the movie, plus the fact that the series was on FoxKids really killed the show

Bohen really wasn't the problem. Sure, Gosling's Hercules was a funner character and all, but the show's style (half-hour comedic/life lessons tales) was pretty much dictated by FoxKids, and a sadder Bohenesque character would've made the show (IMO) very unbearable. If, on the other hand, they miraculously were awarded an hour-long syndication contract, like Xena and "Old Hercules," Bohen would've done a much better job. Of course, Gosling has since proven he could handle (and probably exceed) Bohen's "gloominess," so they really lucked out with him.

Granted Gosling has since become a better actor, though I can only remember seeing him in "Fracture", I just didn't think that he fit the part that well as a younger version of Sorbo's character, though on occasion he impressed me.

Ion would have made the show closer to the adult show.

I wish he had been available. He missed his girlfriend.
