hey bro u seem like u a bit older/wiser tell me more about the greatest american hero please
'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.
