The first season of THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO introduced a red super suit to likable high school teacher RALPH HINKLEY, and then introduces Ralph to the world. The problem is Ralph has lost the instructions on the use of the suit. You can't blame him! After all, there were aliens and a walking dead FBI agent and a bus load full of teenage sweathogs. Add into the mix, Robert "I Spy" Culp as scenarist Bill Maxwell, a man of action teamed with Ralph to point out things that need be avenged. Oh, there's also the divorce attorney / girlfriend played by Connie Selleca. Add in a still catchy theme song (and a less than catchy soundtrack) and your ready to fly. Well almost.
Then came the second full but sub par season. Now we have the last, abridged third season.
I read the other reviews for GAH Season Two and was amazed at the depth the other reviewers go into.
While the in-depth reviews are sometimes helpful, I found that I personally enjoyed the entire season. Sure, there were a couple of questionable episodes in the writing department -- but there hasn't been a series or movie (to date) that hasn't fallen prey to that problem in some form.
The entire series was good, clean family fun. I own all three seasons, and my family has enjoyed every episode. We laughed at the really silly way Ralph flies and fumbles his way through using the "jammies"; Bill Maxwell's snacking habits (MilkBone Biscuits) and Pam's level headed guidance of "the boys." (My wife especially likes Pam -- in a house full of boys, she's the one that... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): William Katt DVD Release Date: Released the 05 April 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

Throughout the past few decades, superhero television shows suffer from a brand of overexposure. It is a chore to keep cranking out episodes, keeping them fresh and interesting on a very limited special effects budget. With CGI technology finding a home within television productions that effects budget limitation may be extinct, but in 1981 it was a definite issue. One show had a creative approach to that problem: Without short-changing the `super feats' elements, pad the stories with "Welcome Back Kotter" teacher/student relationships. The result was the 3 season GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, now available on DVD.

John Milius charts a decade of social change as three surfing buddies use the sport as a personal touchstone for their lives while growing up in the turbulent 1960s. Irresponsible hot-dogging legend Matt (Jan-Michael Vincent), serious and stable Jack (William Katt), and mad misfit Leroy, a.k.a. "Masochist" (Gary Busey), are teenage surf bums in 1963, living at the beach in a perpetual summer under the sway of surfboard-maker Bear (Sam Melville), guru, mentor, and keeper of the lore. But the times they are a changin' and boys grow up in the shadow of Vietnam while adulthood pushes them into hard decisions. John Milius mixes the nostalgia of American Graffiti with the reverence of a John Ford cavalry drama. Surfing becomes a kind of spiritual quest spoken of in awed mythic tones and...
