Picked up the complete series a couple of years back since I remembered the show fondly as a kid. The pilot was good although for late comers to the show you get the gist of it from the intro. Aliens came, they drop off a suit, yada yada. In case they actually post it I'll leave off summarizing a spoiler. It was one of the longer running series in the 80s and was funny in the sense that superhero actions had newtonian reactions. eg. running superfast on concrete created divots, superhero costume is bulletproof but what about the face? etc. etc.
There are parts that remind us of the 80's accepted thinking compared to today.Its better than say the original Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter. Don't believe me? Check out the shows on hulu link to the thewb. One of the villains lines was that I don't need a gun to defeat you I was Judo master.....(Hint Wonder Woman just lifted a car earlier, somehow the fight with the judo person resulted in a catfight more or less)
Oddly enough, shows like these that helped make small changes in TV. Yes shes in a bikini the whole show but she fights wars at the same time.
Anyways enjoy.

HULU is comlicated to navigate. Who set this up? It is so different from other sites it is aggravating. Do you have any skilled programmers on site? Where are the bells and whistles like rich type for bold, spell check, etc.? Other than that I do like that I can watch old TV and movies that are hard to get anywhere else. I don't even mind the short commercials, which if they are too long on TV or the Internet, I simply go to another site, shut it down, read a book, go uyside, or to bed.The only episode of Greatest American Hero that was worth watching is what they are calling the pilot. The first episode was 2 hours long in real time, not 'to be continued next week' for the second hour. It was the best, of course not on HULU 'at this time' or I suspect ever. I remeber watching about three episodes until I realized the producers thought it was funny that the hero could not figure out the suit. I reasoned at some point he should know, so quit watching. I wanted to watch the first 2 hour show, so am moving on. Episode 1 on HULU is not episode 1.
