Greatest American Hero Marathon!
 
Not sure if this was brought up yet, but the SyFy Channel is going to be doing a marathon of the 1980's TV series Greatest American Hero, this week on July 21 and 22nd! Really funny, classic TV, glad it's at least getting some attention nowadays. Not bad for a 30 year old TV show! ;)

Here's just a quick plug for my latest Blog entry on the topic, hehe, enjoy:

Yes and they're also airing a Capt America movie marathon. So after hours of watching Greatest American Hero you can quickly change the channel so you don't get tortured by Reb Brown's take on Capt America. :P

Lol, haven't seen that before. I've only seen Nostalgia Critic's review of that Captain America from the '90s. How does the '70s one compare?

There's 2 Capt America movies in the 70's. They were made for tv fares that were backdoor pilots to a possible tv series which starred Reb Brown as Steve Rogers Jr (son of the original Capt America) who goes around America in the A-Team's van and fights the fight with a clear plastic shield. *lol*

They're horrible movies. Spoony (being the biggest Reb Brown fan in the world) did reviews of both of them last year.

I rememeber looking this show up because it's theme song was in one of my all time favorite movies, 40 Year Old Virgin. Bummer I missed the marathon.

Hmm yes, at least Greatest American Hero was intentionally funny. ;) Thanks for the links!

Greatest American Hero is actually still available on Hulu and Netflix; it definitely holds up well, very witty show. I first learned about it from VH1's
"I Love the '80s" Lol :D

My brother's in love with this show and has the eps on DVD. I'm sure he was glued to the tube for this.
