- A revamp of the successful '80s television series by Stephen J. Cannell, where an ordinary school teacher is given superhuman powers after receiving a super-suit by aliens. Unfortunately he loses the instruction manual and is clumsy in the utilization of his powers. Together with Bill Maxwell, an old-school FBI agent, and now a sidekick, named Ashley Rizzo, they battle crime in ways that fall into the comedic category. **used with permission, but the production is in no way affiliated with the Cannell Company**—Anonymous
- William Kat is a school teacher named Ralph Hinkley. Robert Culp is FBI Agent Bill Maxwell. FBI Agent Bill Maxwell drives up to an incredible event as Ralph Hinkley suddenly encounters a UFO, and sentient beings which give him a strange box containing, of all things, a superman style pair of tights, with a cape, and is told that he must use this to save humanity. After the UFO departs, FBI Agent Bill Maxwell immediately tries to control the situation and, in the confusion, the manual which came with the suit is lost in the desert. This leaves our superhero, together with the FBI Agent, and later Attorney, and girlfriend, Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca) to fight crime and save the world without knowing how the superhero suit works in this hilarious comedy sitcom that aired from 1981 to 1982. This DVD collection contains the entire series (43 episodes on 9 DVDs).—J Rice
