A pair of series created by Sam Raimi for syndication, which grew out of a series of TV movies. The success of these TV-films led to a series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Another spin-off, Young Hercules, aired for a short time on Fox Kids after a successful syndicated TV-movie pilot. There were also several comic book series produced by Topps Comics.
