The Greatest American Hero is an American TV series which aired for three seasons from 1981 to 1983 on ABC. It premiered as a two hour movie pilot on March 18, 1981. It starred William Katt as teacher Ralph Hinkley (later Hanley), Robert Culp as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell, and Connie Sellecca as lawyer Pam Davidson. The show chronicles Ralph's adventures after he is given a red suit from a group of aliens, which gives him superhuman abilities. The series was created by producer Stephen J. Cannell; Joel Colon helped design the costumes. The show is typical of Cannell's style of character-driven quirky drama, where the plot is secondary to the relationships among the characters.

The character's name was changed from Hinkley to Hanly after the attempted assassination of Reagan by John W. Hinckley. You can't name the greatest American hero after a guy who shot Reagan and failed to kill him.

Meta-nostalgia: escaping into the escapism of an earlier period of time to feel the nostalgia of escaping the reality of that time period and realizing you have escaped that time period because now you are in the present, and feeling damned good about having escaped.
