I know what you mean, I've been searching and haven't come up with anything yet, I've tried Ebay and a few other places, am getting a bit crazy in my search.

I guess they don't. Not in any official release.
Of course I can't find any downloads online at all either.

If anyone hears or comes across anything please post!

Go to tvdvdplanet.com and you can find all 50 episodes from the series' run on Encore's WAM for around $50 to $60 plus tax, shipping and handling fees. It's not an official studio release but it's not exactly a bootleg either, the picture quality is pretty good and the sound quality is just as good. The only bad thing is that the episodes on the discs doesn't really follow a continuity order as some episodes are mixed around. I hope this helps.

Has anyone else successfully gotten anything from this TVDVDPLANET group? The website is setting off "too good to be true" alarm bells in my mind, and there've been some complaints logged. Does it actually deliver?

I was leery of buying the set from TVDVDPLANET, but I did and when I recieved it in the mail I watched the discs and it delivered for me. Like I said the only real bad thing is that the episodes aren't aren't in any real form of continuity besides the two and three part episodes. There's a few picture problems but nothing that distracts from the viewing experience.

Yes. There is a DVD out. I think it's the pilot episode, but I am not really sure. It's on Amazon.com. You can find it by either putting in "Young Hercules (1998)" or by looking for DVDs which star "Dean O'Gorman" who played Iolas. That's how I found it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, but I was talking about the TV weekly episodes not the pilot/movie.

Well, I'm not sure that Anchor Bay is going to release the show. But if they do they'll probably release the animated Hercules/Xena movie and Pilot movie with it. It wasn't on long(mainly due to Kevin Smith dying R. I. P), so 6 discs will be enough for the whole show.

reply

The Young Hercules series was cancelled long before Kevin Smith died, plus it would probably be more than 6 discs since the show had 50 some-odd episodes in that one season.

reply

Well the first season were hour long episodes, but when the ratings declined they changed it to half hour episodes. I saw a few interviews with Rob Tapert and he said that not only was the show cancelled because of Kevin Smith's death, but also because Studio USA decided to cancel it(that's why Hercules Season Six only had a handful of episodes).

Kevin died in 2002.
3 years after YH ended.

There was only one season. All 50 episodes were 1/2 hour episodes (well, about 22 minutes plus commercials). No one-hour episodes were produced for the series Young Hercules.

There *were* episodes filmed of the regular Hercules episodes that were little more than Young Hercules flashbacks. These generally opened with Jason and Herc sitting around a campfire going "Hey, remember when...?" then flashback, then at the end of the episode, it's them around the campfire again.

These were all done with Ian Bohen as Young Hercules. Once it went to series, Ian never showed up again, and there were no more flashbacks during the regular Herc series. After Young Herc was canceled, Ryan Gosling showed up in regular Herc, as another character, but with black hair.

Please BEWARE of sites offering Young Hercules. These are copies of eps aired on TV, not official and not of a quality that would warrant that kind of price.

Also, sites like DVDplanet, TVAddics, TVBoxSet, etc are all scam artists. You will order, pay for and probably NEVER receive anything back, other than a plethora of excuses.

I speak from experience.
