This week, we revisit The Greatest American Hero, a science fiction/comedy/mystery TV show starring a regular school teacher who receives a magical suit that turns him into a super hero. Sometimes more well known for its theme song than its wild plots, the show lasted 3 seasons.
We start with our snack review and learn a bit about the history of Pixy Stix and their connection to Sweet Tarts and Fun Dip.
Then, in our fun facts section, we talk about the making of The Greatest American Hero, its failed spin-off series, and the amazing ensemble cast that came together to create this short-lived show.
After the recap and review, we have a fun sneak preview of next week's episode as Steve chooses what he's willing to watch!
Did we love this hilarious science fiction classic? Did we ruin our childhoods? Listen to find out!
