Hercules: The Legendary Marathon

The other day Chris and I had watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on my Nintendo Wii thanks to Netflix. Chris was looking on my computer to see what else we could put on the Instant Queue when he stumbled upon season one of Hercules: The Incredible Journeys. I was ecstatic primarily because it was one of my favorite shows as a kid, although it was violent and at times overtly sexual. I even knew the whole intro by heart as well as having a schoolgirl crush on the actor who played Hercules, Kevin Sorbo. I asked Chris if we could watch it, but it was already late and he had to head home. Instead, I watched the intro, it was very nostalgic. I actually I wasn't willing to wait for a chance for Chris to join me to watch it. I actually got the perfect opportunity the following day.
Chris and his parents were taking his sister down to San Diego, I figured I probably wouldn't get to see him the whole day. I cleaned my room while I watched the whole season one of Hercules, the whole day. There were 13 episodes about 45 minutes each. I didn't sit the whole thing, I took breaks of course. I was so entertained by all the fighting, the gods, and the mythical beasts. Each time Hercules helped a person in need he was always up to the task. He is the kind of character who is not only handsome but a virtuous, kind and, altruistic; that was part of the appeal. I actually finished the two last episodes this morning and continued to season two. Chris says I am ridiculous, but lets see if he could resists watching Hercules.
