The Greatest American Hero

This show deals with a rather plain, disheveled, redheaded superhero who doesn't even know how to put on a cape and inflicts himself some tremendous blows. This series parodies the superheroes in their fight against the evil, especially with a suit that shrinks with the rain. This superhero suffers vertigo and flies in stumbles. Ralph Hinkley (Hanley, from season II) changed the conventional superhero image. Their constant whacking after flying in search of heroic feats always caused comic situations. While Ralph didn't use the powers of his suit, which he didn't know because in their clumsiness he had lost the user's manual, he was a teacher, an average man, sometimes ridiculous, but charming. A superhero with disheveled hair, innocent smile, often donning his cape askew and frequently suffering amazing falls. Ralph is aided by an FBI agent, Bill Maxwell, and his girlfriend, Pam Davidson. The series was a Stephen J. Cannell production.
