The Greatest American Hero is a television series about Special Education teacher "Ralph Hinkley", who is given a red suit from a group of aliens, which gives him superhuman abilities, but he loses the instruction book for it, which leads to comical situations as he learns to use the suit by trial-and-error. Aired from 1981 to 1983, it starred William Katt as Ralph, Robert Culp as Bill Maxwell, and Connie Sellecca as Pam Davidson.

"Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me."

Notes
- Some of the abilities that Ralph's red suit gave him included flight, super speed, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, shrinking ability, clairvoyance, invisibility, impenetrability from bullets, and super strength.
- Ralph's last name was changed briefly from "Hinkley" to "Hanley" in 1981 after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. In the episode "Here's Looking at You, Kid", his name was obscured by the sound of a passing jet at an airport. His name was later returned to "Hinkley" in future episodes.
