Ralph works with Bill to dodge professional killers while transporting a beautiful and flirtatious FBI informant to testify against her drug-dealing mobster boyfriend.
I too grew up in the 80's and it was great, but everybody believes their generation was great especially the older they get. It is because we had no worries, no bills, no kids to take care of. The only problems we had were if we did our homework or if the girl, we were crushing on liked us back.
Followed a few when I was a kid. However, not from the start and it was never rerun again. Glad I found the whole series to relive a bit of childhood nostalgia.
And the 70s were even better! For me, it was the 70s-1986. After that, things just started to feel darker. Sadly those days are gone forever. Hopefully we'll see Robert Culp, or even James Garner again....
You're just getting old. All old people say that. When we're young everything is exciting and the future is bright. When we're old, been there done that, and the dark end is near. I wish the old would would actually be wise and stop projecting "aging depression" on the new generations. The world is theirs, we've had our chance. And they won't do any worse than we did. Usually better.
I used to watch this show when I was a kid. I loved it. As an adult, I appreciate the brilliance of Robert Culp. He's hilarious. He's mean. He's pushy. He's intelligent. He gets stuff done. Seriously, I'm in love with him. He's perfect.
When I was 3, I thought this was a show about a clumsy superhero. Now as an adult, I know that it's a show about a slightly unhinged FBI agent and his two sidekicks.
The tank car scene was filmed at my school. William S. Hart High in Newhall, CA. I still remember them setting up the camera and the fake gatlin pop gun that shot out sparks.
Was never that keen on Katt, although he filled out the role of bumbling competently. Culp's a legend, let's face it. And Connie - a dish, with substance - back when they still had that of course. Finding a 'wind at your back' nowadays is anathema.
Katt was funny in this role and as good an actor as any of them. Culp was old school cool, and Selleca was of course wonderful looking, so anyway, just a few thoughts. Funny and campy show.
Internet and streaming is what happened. Back in the day, theme songs where part of the marketing to grab people's attention when they where flipping through channels. Now, people just have to pull up the info guide to see if it's worth watching.
Yes!? I Agree?!👍 I Also Would like to Know What Ever Happened to Most of These Theam Songs?? It's Been Way, Way, Way, to Many Year's To Hear Some of These Theam Songs From TV Shows & Movies 🎦🎬🎞️🎫😊😊😊😊😊😊
one would think it wouldn't be so hard to get bunch of high school drama club members to appear as extras. if not high school, college freshmans in drama club or students of performing art schools.
Growing up the youngest of 5,I didn't exactly have seniority over the tv.I missed the first (and more) episodes of alot of old school shows.This,The Six Million Dollar Man,The Bionic Woman,Dukes of hazards.I had no idea how or where he lost the instructions to his super suit,til streaming came out.I was so happy to have finally seen where he lost it with my own eyes,I was mad I didn't have anyone that also grew up watching this show,I could share the news with.
I'm really enjoying all the music used throughout the series. Also, I'd forgotten how much I love the theme song. 🎶 Theme song from the TV series 'The Greatest American Hero' (song titled: "Believe It or Not") is composed by Mike Post with lyrics by Stephen Geyer, and sung by American singer Joey Scarbury. 🎶
Connie looks so fine with her glasses in the intro. Im a 37 yr old guy and i love this show. Yeah it was cheesey but it was the 80s. The song just hits you hard. Music had meaning back then and actually wrote with great singers. I'm an old soul kinda guy for my age.
Found a video with William Katt auditioning for the roll of Luke Skywalker. He and Mark Hamill are definitely the same type and he would’ve done fine as our favorite Jedi. Just would’ve been weird seeing Luke with a blond fro!
I loved this when I was a child.Over the years I’ve googled searched but I couldn’t remember the name. I’d type in things like super hero suit without instructions. But nothing came up. Then last week RU-vid Algo’s send it to me. I was like ‘yes’ lol. I think as a child I loved the fact he had to learn how to use the suit.
The hit car later showed up in an episode of The A-Team. It can be seen in the background in the Watkins repair yard in the episode A Nice Place to Visit.
Pare really wasn't that great. No more so than that other 'pretty face' from the 'Warriors' movie and 'Xanadu' ... forgettable, in time. At least Grant got a big part in 'V', which was - yes - very memorable.
Wow, it is uncanny how much Bill (Robert Culp) in this is like an early version of Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) from Burn Notice. Having only seen him in vintage Westerns, I didn't know he had a "comedic-serious" side like this.
Mr Culp was in an episode of "The Golden Girls," playing Blanche's boyfriend after she had a pacemaker for her "heart condition." It was a very funny,realistic episode,too!
There were some names of Dodgers past...Garvey and Cey. My dad is a Dodger fan and I'm a Phillies fan.They were playing the Phillies. I'm sure back when this was on TV we had a little chuckle over that.
My girlfriend at the time loved this show. She made me watch "Eddie and The Cruisers," because she liked Michael Pare. I have to admit. It's a pretty good movie. Then I became a fan of this show too, and Bill Maxwell was my favourite character.
This is awesome.im 45 and remember this show vaguely.brings back some good memories I forgot about.still need the 1st ep. Don't no why it's banned in in the usa
I live in the USA and I just watched the first episode and now working on my second. I too grew up with this show. This and the Fall Guy were the two main shows I watch back in the day. I'm going on 53.
William Katt Connie Sellecca and Robert Culp the tremendous actors to have a different chemistry in the show it has a wonderful memories to have different energy but the thing is the show the greatest American hero it was brilliant
