deadwiz 6 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 02-15-05, 01:33 AM (EST) "The Greatest American Hero(1981)" This show was great fun. Old tv shows are awesome. This one is like a mix between superman and the green lantern. Its got a classic cheesy feel to it too. Anyone use to watch it? or even heard of it? I think it ran for 3 seasons... Check out some clips if you never heard of it. http://www.m80teams.com/?QzoxMDcxOjM5MDgyNA==   Top

Puffy 6703 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-19-05, 10:42 AM (EST) 8. "RE: The Greatest American Hero(1981)" I had the song on a tape cassette. But I left it on the hood of my car and drove off. Sigh. A Syren®Original   Top

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-19-05, 02:06 PM (EST) 9. "RE: The Greatest American Hero(1981)" I loved that show! Especially when he summoned "cursor" and when the speeding cursor-car made square turns and splatted our hero up against the car's window glass. Made me laugh every time. Wasn't the star Desi Arnaz Jr.? I forget who played his love interest but she was good too--well at least until they finally hooked up and then she spent all her time looking for recipes or something.   Top

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-19-05, 07:05 PM (EST) 11. "RE: The Greatest American Hero(1981)" Oops. I just realized I have blended two TV series. The Greatest American Hero is about that guy who finds a superhero-type suit in the desert buy doesn't have directions on how to use it--right? Connie Sellecca was his wife. I don't remember the name of the other series, but it was about a guy who could "talk" to his computer (way back when computers were new) and the curson could create whatever he wanted to solve his Problem of the Week. What the heck was that series called? I'm pretty sure it starred Desi Arnaz Jr...   Top

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-21-05, 12:39 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Is it "Automan"?" Automan! That's the one--although I never would have guessed that for the show title in a million years. Thanks Syren. I remember thinking the show had some promise--but then it got cancelled. Of course back in those days lots & lots of people had no idea what a curson even was, the computer he used was the size of a Buick, and any kind of "tech" joke would have been totally inscrutable to most! For some reason *I* thought the show was brilliant back then. And I thought Desi Arnaz Jr was adorable with real charm--not his father's trying-too-hard Cuban Suavity. Suavity? Did I just invent a new word?   Top

syren 5418 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-21-05, 02:25 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Is it "Automan"?" I did not even remember the show till I read your post. Actually I barely remember it now, other than I thought that it would be cool to have something like that. I was like 8 or 9 years old. Now that everyone has a computer, and would understand the ideal behind it, it would be a great remake kinda TV series. To reach out your hands is less painful than biting your tongue. Coherent perceptions or reckless rambling Why yes, I think you did. Good word though.   Top

deadwiz 6 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 02-21-05, 02:41 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Is it "Automan"?" I never heard of the show till now. sounds interesting enough.   Top
