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. This special collector's set gathers all three seasons of the beloved series, as well as cast interviews, and the spinoff which never reached the air, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HEROINE. [More]

3/5

Sets like these often make you question what the hell you were thinking when you tuned in the first time around, but in this case, nostalgia will likely outweigh buyer’s remorse.

Returning to a show you watched during childhood can be a disappointing experience. But GAM holds up very well and is actually wittier than I understood it to be at the time.
