Universal TV's Action Pack is from MCA TV that aired a 2 hour movie each week in 1994. Starting in 1995, the action pack included two hours of various television series distributed by MCA and Universal. From January-June 1995, it included the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Vanishing Son series. From September 1995 through January 2000, it included the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. After Hercules ended its run in January 2000, the Universal Action Pack picked up two thirty minute series: Jack of All Trades and Cleopatra 2525 to air alongside Xena.
