Remember the theme song for this three-season series? “Look at what’s happened to me/ I can’t believe it myself/suddenly I’m up on top of the world/Should have been somebody else!” Well, now that it’s stuck in your head, the song (sung by Joey Scarbury) made it to the top of the pop charts in 1981 and may be the most enduring thing about “The Greatest American Hero.” The first season of the ABC series starring Robert Culp, William Katt and Connie Sellecca, is available on DVD starting February 15.

This fun, campy show was about a high school teacher, Ralph Hinkley, whose discovery of a red flying suit left by aliens led to his career as a bumbling superhero. An FBI agent, played by Robert Culp, is the instigator of many of Ralph’s adventures. In the first season, the show also featured some high school students (including Faye Grant, who later because more famous for her role on NBC’s “V”). At first teacher Ralph Hinkley’s powers were so “Superman”-like that the owner’s of Superman’s copyright threatened to sue—but he later developed the ability to become invisible, to see through solid objects and to see things from long distances. In later episodes, also, we begin to learn more about the aliens who left the suit behind, so “The Greatest American Hero” takes on a little more of a SciFi tone than before.

A little trivia: The main character’s name was a little too similar to the moniker of John Hinckley, who tried to assassinate president Ronald Reagan in 1981—so for the first season or so, Ralph is usually referred to as Mr. H. The series also featured some unaired episodes, which may hopefully be released on DVD sometime.
