I’ve always been a superhero geek, so its no suprised that when I was a kid I enjoyed watching The Greatest American Hero. Much like another 80s tv show, Automan, I’m afraid to go back and watch the original episodes because I’m sure its radioactive craptonium, despite fondly remembering it and digging on the concept.
It looks like others want to revisit the concept as there is apparently a big screen adaptation coming. I think its something you could have a lot of fun with if you approach it the right way. Hopefully the story changes a bit from what’s mentioned in that rumor article, I’m not sure if I like another teacher being the big bad, but who knows. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed it doesn’t become a turdfest.
I had the theme song on 45 🙂
My mom, too, has the theme on 45.
Scenario.
It was great. an unwilling superhero that needed a little child to tell him how to get airborn to fly! who went into public washrooms to change! also, I think his first name rocked.
