I can't believe it myself.

It hasn't officially shipped yet, but the kind folks at Deep Discount DVD will be sending me my Greatest American Hero season 1 set tomorrow. I'll be groovin' to Ralph and Bill this weekend.

I love this show. It's hard to overstate how much I enjoyed it. Bill Maxwell was one of my favorite characters when I was growing up. The super-suit with no instructions and two guys (and a gal) trying to make the best of it and doing a mostly good job for fifty odd minutes every week. I liked that Ralph did actually grow in his powers, both in terms of his command of them and the number of powers he discovered. And I liked that Bill more or less didn't. I still say that Steve Cannell misses out in his Shane Scully novels by not having the Ralph and Bill or the boys from the Scremin' Mimi drop in to help out on a case.
