  • A teacher is asked to be a superhero using a special alien suit with powers he can barely understand or control, after losing the instruction manual. He is aided by a Government Agent. Along with his lawyer girlfriend, they together figure out not only how to control the suit, but to right wrongs. Very great show!!

    his superpower is the ability to remain somewhat memorable after a relatively short run on TV.

    RIP MR. Cannell!!! This will always be among my favorite TV Shows of all time! :) Classic take on comic-book heroism!

    Believe it or not, this was one of the best shows in the early 80's. Very inspirational too.

    Honestly. Why is this not a film franchise? There's a huge audience for it. The fact 21 Jump Street gets a movie while this continues to be ignored is a tragedy.

    • @SentryUSMG
      @SentryUSMG 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      At the very least bring it back to tv with a new series. Continuing with Hinkley passing the suit on to a new hero. I'd watch it.

      SentryUSMG With the recent Superhero TV Craze, a semi-serious superhero show like this would fit right in! I say bring it to CBS this fall!

      +rofyle I think there have been attempts at a film and it's never been able to get off the ground (no pun intended). Hopefully if they ever do make a movie of it they won't be making fun of it like they did with 21 Jump Street.

      I've heard about it being turned into a film on two occasions over the past 20 years...
      Once in the late 90s with Adam Sandler attached to play him, and within the last few years, I heard Nathan Fillion was trying to get it off the ground.

      Surprising one of the major 80's action shows with a monologue intro but yet again it did a great theme music.

  • @pvtrichter8816
    @pvtrichter8816 10 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    you could say the show and character was meant to be a polar opposite to SUPERMAN because he's Blonde has a Red suit instead and has no idea how to use his powers[ he doesn't fly so much as he just jumps over very low buildings and collides into whatever happens to stop him!!] but the show was all the more endearing just for that reason Cheers!!

    Some parallels with Welcome Back Kotter...white-guy afro, teacher for "challenging" kids, Connie Seleca type gal. I guess the similarities end there because I don't recall Kotter fighting crime with a suit given to him by aliens (with subsequent loss of instruction manual). Oh well...

Loved it then and still love it. Just a good song that makes you happy.
