The Greatest American Hero (History, Review, ABC Reboot) | Secret Screening
The Greatest American Hero, its failed pilot spinoff, AND its multiple bungled attempts at a reboot are some of the strangest stories in TV history.

Cannell. Cannell created or co-created nearly 40 television series including megahits like The A Team, 21 Jump Street, and - I’m sure to someday be turned into a comedy tentpole film series for Jack Black - Renegade. Pop culture mostly remembers the show for its goofy soft rock theme song by Mike Post and Stephen Geyer which was released as a full song during the run of the show and topped at number 2 on the Billboard 100. It’s also remembered for its goofy effect shots of the wirey William Katt flouncing around in his red spandex suit and curly blond hair smashing into things and screaming. But the show is far more than “bungling loser gets super suit and tries to be a superhero in the real world”. Let me break it down: The Greatest American Hero is the story of substitute teacher Ralph Hinkley. A decent guy who is not only saddled with trying to turn around some problem teens languishing in a high school special ed class, he’s saddled with a supersuit and the taciturn scene stealing FBI Agent, Bill Maxwell, by some unseen aliens through the ghost emissary of Bill’s recently dead partner. Their single order: Accept the suit and the quest and save the world. Then the aliens just take off leaving the two to their own devices. Bill abandons Ralph in the desert, and as Ralph carries the suit away into the darkness, he drops the instruction manual losing it forever. Eventually Ralph accepts the call to superheroics, dons the suit, and works with Bill - who uses his government connections to send Ralph on important missions that actually make a difference. And that garbled mess is basically the show. I mean, they also rope in Ralph’s divorce lawyer and bespectacled love interest, Pam Davidson. And the aliens mysteriously show up once per season. But it doesn’t really matter. The basic setup of every episode was Bill shows up with the problem of the week, Ralph struggles with the suit to solve the problem, the end. On average, it was about 10 minutes of bungling superhero stuff squeezed into fifty minutes worth of filler. Now before you old folk get out your pitchforks and torches, I am selling this show short. Though I don’t really care for William Katt’s acting, he does have a goofy charisma he brings to the role. The series MVP really is Robert Culp. He makes the whole thing watchable and worth returning to as he chews the scenery and delivers some of the best lines in the series. Plus he’s the only one who would have continued with the show if the spin off was picked up - but I’m getting ahead of myself. Those who remember the series sometimes mislabel Ralph and Bill as extremely politically left and right respectively, and they kinda are - but given the radical difference and animosity between those sides in today’s political climate, I think I need to better define what what’s going on.
