Sorry… just had to. I’m a sucker for 80s stuff and the OBB of this show just threw me instantaneously back to 1983! I heard Touchstone and Disney are already in the process of making a remake of “The Greatest American Hero” for the big screen. No details yet as to whom the lead roles shall be given to.
Take a trip back to the 80s with me…
A high school math teacher is given a special suit by mysterious aliens that will allow him to perform amazing feats (flying, super-strength, X-ray vision, shrinking, invisibility, just about every super power). The problem is that he quickly loses the instruction book, so he has to learn how to use the suit, which, quite frankly, he’s not very good at… He’s soon joined by an FBI agent, who teams up with the “super hero”, basically using him to fight crime, etc.

Whoa! really!? that’s be great! It’s bit blurry but I do remember parts of the show … like the opening theme song, and some blunders he made … we used to call him super palpak ;P
One of the shows I’d like to see again

LOL… “Super Palpak” noyping noypi ang dating ah! Haha! I hope they choose an actor who will really do justice to the lead role. Hmmm… sino kaya? “Adam Sandler” maybe? “Ben Stiller”? Hmmm…
(deep, end-of-the-world-like pondering here…)

Yeah… nothing beats the eighties! Haha! Best music… best everything! Well, maybe not the hairdo and fashion… but every time you see one, you know it’s unmistakably 80s!

Hey there! Yeah… “new wave” is one of the best things that came out of the 80s!
Glad to know you guys are up to date when it comes to entertainment and the music scene over there where you are. Thank God for TFC, eh? It kinda brings Pinoys closer together regardless of distance.
Yep, “That’s Entertainment” was how people in our generation would recall me from… funny how some think I’m still the same small kid from way back… LOL!
Yes, I’ve delved into serious songwriting and am very happy about it… hope you guys are able to get a copy of Sarah’s album soon. My compositions on her album are, “MISS” & “KAHIT NA”.
Hope you like ‘em. Drop me a line or email me when you get to listen to them na. Comments (good or bad) are welcome!
Keep in touch man! Thanks for dropping by my site!

I love the 80’s but I was not familiar with the video. Of course, the hairdos made of aquanets and thick gels made it unforgettable and funny to look back.
