Review(s): DVD The Greatest American Hero - Season Two
Lots of safe family fun
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 keeps us all in line.)
Brings back Memories
I grew up in the eighties and I love the old eighties tv shows. Watching Greatest American Hero again brings back old times.
I would highly recommend anyone who loves this TV show to buy all 3 box sets. Not only to watch it, but to show your kids and the younger generation what the 80's were all about.
Superman eat your own balls...
...Cause there is a new old-school hero in town. The Greatest American Hero beats down the compatition (MacGyver, A-Team and Night Rider excluded). It's a powerful story of heroic feats starring a lone weakling, not cool enough to even have sex with his hot girlfriend (80's style Connie Selica) who finds a suit from the aliens. His FBI friend recruits him to fight crime, much like the Miami Vice of Don Johnson and Sonny. I remeber cocaine from the 80's, you can't get that quality these days... I'll admit it, I've never seen the show, but I think the box is great, much like Americans, so I give it five stars!!!

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.
With World War II coming to an end, what will Amazonian Diana Prince (Lynda Carter) do for Wonder Woman's second season? Sporting the biggest continuity jump in TV history, Wonder Woman's new network (now on CBS from ABC) decided to catapult the show 35 years into the future into "modern day" Los Angeles, 1977. Not surprisingly, the 35 years haven't aged the immortal one bit. In fact, she seems to have gotten stronger, her super powers have increased, and her mind is sharper and focused on fighting the evils of the modern world: nuclear weapons, terrorists, aliens, and the mind controlling influences of rock music. Season 2 kicks off with the awesome hour-and-a-half season premiere, "The Return of Wonder Woman." Returning once again from Paradise Island, Diana Prince (a.k.a....

Lois & Clark was one of the sweetest surprises of the 1993 television season, and while it certainly enjoyed a devoted following until the series jumped the tall building in its later years, we can probably thank the Phoenix-like rise of Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher's career to thank for its arrival on DVD. The premise of Lois & Clark is one fraught with peril, particularly for core fans. This incarnation of the Man of Steel saga recasts Superman as romantic comedy. One of the series creators once described this series as "basically, Moonlighting, only Bruce Willis can fly." This is overstating the case by leaps and bounds. Clark Kent (Dean Cain) has not been reinvented as a wisecracking street-wise hipster. The chemistry between the new Metropolis...

Remington Steele's fusion of whodunit mystery and screwball comedy burst onto television in 1982. After struggling to get clients to hire a female detective, Laura Holt (sultry Stephanie Zimbalist) invents a fictional boss named Remington Steele, whose dashing manly name draws in work. But while protecting some South African jewels, Holt runs across a mysterious thief and con-man (an elfin, baby-faced Pierce Brosnan) whom her client assumes is the nonexistent Steele--and when the case is resolved, the accidental detective decides he likes the work and sticks around, infuriating Holt with his arrogant ways and tantalizing her with his dashing good looks. Murders may occur at a winery, an island sex club, or a college reunion, but just about every episode plunders plot elements from...
