For Maria, who had never heard of the Greatest American Hero - one of my favorite shows from the 80s. The premise was he was a reluctant hero, having been selected by the aliens. They provided the suit and a manual, but he lost the manual and had to wing it - figuring out what it did as he went. Kind of like Stephanie Plum, she doesn't really know what she's doing so she plays it by ear.
Oh, and he was a high school teacher by day - super hero by night.
Loved the show. :)

OMG, what a hoot! That hair!! And Connie Selleca (I think that was her, wasn't it?) looks so young! I was in college in the early 80's, then started working as a nurse doing shift work (3-11) so I can honestly say in those pre DVR days I watched very little television.
Who knew?
Loved the first season.
Now, I'm not so certain I could watch it again but I know it's in the house on dvd.
Am I brave enough to watch it? LOL
