Produced by Hallmark Entertainment, it first aired on NBC over two nights in May 2000.The story revolves around the hero Jason (London), rightful heir to the throne of Iolcus, whose throne was usurped from his father by Evil Uncle Pelias (Hopper). Pelias offers to give Jason the throne if he sails to the end of the world to claim the Golden Fleece, something which many have tried but failed. Jason gathers a Badass Crew, including Hercules (Thompson) and other Greek heroes, and sets sail aboard the ship Argo. Together, the Argonauts encounter all sorts of adventures along the way. Jason's love interest is Medea (Blalock), a sorceress, and the gods Zeus (Macfadyen) and Hera (Williams) play roles in the story as well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It has no connection with the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts apart from being based on the same source material. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Jason and the Argonauts / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Jason's entitlement about reclaiming his father's throne is lessened, as Pelias orders him to get the Fleece or else his mother will be killed. Pelias also kills his own son in cold blood, meaning Jason is overthrowing a tyrant in the final act. Medea's worse deeds are eliminated; in mythology, she killed her brother and chopped his body into pieces purely to delay their father's pursuit of the Argonauts (and they're ready to throw her overboard because of this). Here, her brother is driven mad with jealousy and she kills him in self-defence (while also grieving for him afterwards). Even her trick on Pelias from the mythology - lying that he'll be restored to youth if he takes part in a spell that would kill him - makes her look better since he had just killed his own son. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Jason and the Argonauts / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: The women of Lemnos were cursed with an unbearable stench by Aphrodite, but appear to be otherwise very attractive here. Or perhaps the Argonauts are just desensitised to bad odours after sailing with a bunch of other men for days. | |
