Created by
well-known TV executive Stephen J. Cannell (HUNTER, THE
A-TEAM, 21 JUMP ST.), THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO was an
acclaimed show that was cancelled before its time. ABC
seemed unsure how to market the show's blend of superhero
action with comedy, which seems prescient in regards to
later superhero satires like MYSTERY MEN and THE INCREDIBLES.
Ralph Hinkley is a normal high school teacher who has a
close encounter of the third kind, and is rewarded with a
super-powered pajama suit. The problem is, he doesn't quite
know how to work the thing. Gung-ho FBI agent Bill Maxwell
knows Ralph's secret, and with his connections and the help
of girlfriend Pam, Ralph travels around the world to save
the day. The unfairly cancelled spoof can now be
re-appreciated after years as a cult curiosity. |

A superhero spoof
that anticipates films like MYSTERY MEN and THE INCREDIBLES,
THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO joined the ranks of many acclaimed
television shows that were canceled before their time.
Combining the battle between good and evil with good natured
comedy, the show tells the story of Ralph, a normal
schoolteacher who finds himself in the possession of an alien
suit that gives him superpowers. With the help of girlfriend
Pam and gung-ho FBI agent Bill Maxwell--the only people who
know his secret--Ralph travels the country fighting crime and
defending the innocent. SEASON TWO contains 22 episodes, and
was the only full season of the program to be aired. Created
by successful television producer Stephen J. Cannell (THE
A-TEAM, 21 JUMP STREET), THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO is a
long-time cult favorite among avid fans of television comedy. |
