It all began March 18th, 1981.
One school teacher, one lawyer, one federal agent, an alien spaceship and one "Magic Pair of Jammies" It was a show unlike no other. A show that stole our hearts and imaginations of fans everywhere. It was a show that taught us we could run around the house donning a towel as a cape, crashing into walls and it was OK because we could still get the bad guy.
That show is The Greatest American Hero!
Starring-
William Katt as Ralph Hinkley,
a school teacher who received a super suit from Green guys from outer space! A suit that will only work on Ralph! A suit that when worn, gives Ralph Super powers along with an instruction book on how to use the suit!
Robert Culp as the federal agent Bill Maxwell, assigned
to help and guide Ralph to use the suit to save the world!
Connie Sellecca-A Beautiful Lawyer, girlfriend to Ralph (and good third string utility backup! ;-))
The show was indeed one of a kind. What could add to the appeal of a show like this? Ralph loses the instruction book and has no idea how to use the suit.
After three years, much to our dismay, the show was canceled. Over the years something wonderful happened. The show lived on in our hearts. Then came conventions and DVD's and an incredible resurgence of the show began, and with that, at the San Diego Comic Con, a reunion of all cast was brought together to announce the release of The Greatest American Hero comic book!
With Stephen Cannell's blessing, William Katt has taken the helm to continue the adventures
of Pam, Ralph and Bill.
It was a show that we watched as kids we can now share with our kids.
The Greatest American Hero continues...
