Only 1970s Kids Remember This Cult ABC Superhero Show (But The Theme Song Was Way Bigger)

Originally airing as a two-hour movie in 1981 before becoming a three-season series on ABC, *The Greatest American Hero* is now a beloved classic of superhero TV. The show centers around Ralph Hinkley (played by William Katt), a teacher who gains superpowers from a suit given to him by aliens. Ironically, Ralph misplaces the instruction manual, forcing him to figure out how to use the suit’s abilities through comical trial and error.
