ahahah your hilarious bro i owe u another CC in 24hrs!

is it Lyle?

This show was first aired in 1981, and was both a comedy and a drama. A special "power suit" that only works on him is given to the teacher by the aliens, and he is paired up with the gumshoe FBI agent who keeps them both busy with his scenarios. The suit of "unearthly powers" gives the power of strength, flight, invisibilty, flames, telekenesis, vision of events without being there, protection from bullets and fire

Look at what’s happened to me,
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
It should’ve been somebody else.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me.

It’s like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be? Believe it or not it’s just me.

'The Fall Guy' and 'The Greatest American Hero' were two separate shows from the same era as 'McGuyver.' The former starred Lee Majors of 'The Six Million Dollar Man' fame and Heather Locklear from 'Melrose' fame and was about a stunt man who occasionally lands in the middle of a mystery and uses his stunt skills to solve it. The latter starred William Katt and Robert Culp. It was about a man (Katt) who receives a suit with special powers from aliens that designate him the defender of earth. The suit comes with a manual, but unfortunately, he loses the manual. This sets up a nice premise where he is finding out about new powers every so often while saving the world. He knows how to take off, but he doesn't know how to fly without flailing his arms and definitely does not know how to land. Culp plays an FBI agent who assists him with the non-super part of saving the world. I remember later in the seasons, he did eventually get a copy of the manual from the same aliens, but this was towards the tail end of the final season so I don't remember if he lost that one, too or if he finally learned to use the suit. The song was great because it tied in the patriotic meaning of the title with the main character's modest heroism. He wasn't a war soldier fighting for freedom, but at that time, the superhero phenomenon was addicting and while it was considered a 'Superman' knock-off, the movie could never deal with the 'realistic' issues that the sitcom dealt with. Shortly before this era, 'The Dukes of Hazzard' were a sensation. That era of TV was truly innovative in its approach to entertainment and not even big-screen remakes can capture the chemistry those movies generated. This was a time when the good guy was really a good guy and the bad guy was ... well ... a really bad guy. On that note, I have to find a way to watch the episode of 'The Sopranos' I just missed this past Sunday.

oh by the way Dizaster CC!

imma write about the pilot episode since its the only Fin episode ive had time to watch so far it was pretty fin good tho yo!

Thanks for CC.
Here have one back ;-)

A friend of mine burnt me the entire series of this show I watched when I was TINY! I never thought i'd remember it, god I must have been 4 or something, but it was called "the seven cities of gold" or "the mysterious cities of gold" or something like that (had different names in differen't countries) where these kids were searching for this giant gold condor or something.
Do a google if you think it rings a bell. When I was re-watching some of the eps, some of the stuff I could remember watching it when I was TINNNY (oops tiinnnny). It is a little freaky.
