Opening Credits

The music playing in the background of the opening credits is "Track 15 - Main Title" from the Original Television Soundtrack.

"In an age of light and darkness, Zeus, King of the Gods, ruled the universe. He had a son, Young Hercules. Half-god, half-man, Young Hercules longs to find his place in the world, the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero. Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest adventure of all."

The Opening Announcer was the voice of D.C. Douglas.
