Nah. Greatest American Hero has NEVER been forgotten. At least not for me. Sure watching today it was kind of corny but to an 8 yr old back then it was nothing short of magical.
@@thevoiceofreason6712 Believe it or not I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so freeeeE. Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be. Believe it or not. It's just me..
I was really surprised that Street Hawk wasn't mentioned. For those that don't know in the 1980's there was a run on futuristic superpowered miracle vehicles which gave us Knight Rider (car), Air Wolf and Blue Thunder (helicopter) and Street Hawk (motorbike). Street Hawk only ran for 14 episodes and was about Jesse Mach and and his super all terrain motorbike.
@@aidanconroy966 My late Mother she used to watched every episode I watched some with her. I too got a crush on Kate Jackson had one since 1976 when Charlie's Angels premiere when I was 2 her and the others was so beautiful and sexy.
I remember Beauty And The Beast. It starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Pearlman. The Beasts name was Vincent and he always scared me as a little kid although he was actually nice!
The Greatest American Hero was NOT a forgotten show. It featured great acting between Culp, Katt, and Selleca, and it often had great guest stars. One of the best episodes was Don't Mess Around With Jim, featuring Joesph Wiseman, best known as Dr. No in the first James Bond movie. Really well-acted...and the music was always special.
Wow. There were a couple of shows in there that I completely forgot about. The Edison Twins intro triggered major nostalgia. I would've loved to see Airwolf and The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers in there too. Great list!
I can't remember a single episode of The Greatest American Hero, but i can sing the song intro with no problem 😂 Thanks for this wonderful piece of nostalgia of my youth
I watched a lot of these shows! Thanks for the childhood memories. Omg! I love this. I'm definitely geeking out! Out of this world, I've watched a lot of episodes! I just wanted her to meet her dad! The 80's felt awesome! Airwolf, I had Mask toys turbo teen was a favorite! And the 90's and early 2000's! The pretender was a great show! Beastmaster! Hercules and Xena, Andromeda, Earth final conflict! The 4400 and Heroes! So many to name!
The extended version of that took young me by surprise, as I didn't know at the time that it had been released on an album. The only other theme that I enjoyed as much was The Rembrandts' I'll Be There For You.
Wow, I can feel the pieces of nostalgia and bits of memories about this films is slowly coming in... Almost forgotten in the corner of my memories... Love 'em the 80s, 90s and 00s, wonderful time. ❤😄👍🏽
The thumbnail showed the stars of the Greatest American Hero and Automan. I never forgot either one of them. Both were broadcast in the 80s and both were about superheroes, except Automan was a professional holographic hero who never failed and Ralph Hinkley was almost a perfect superhero, but he lost the instructions that came with the suit. I was there to enjoy the original runs of both shows as I was born in the mid-70s.
Literally nobody who was then alive has forgotten Greatest American Hero. But, I loved and well remember Danger Bay and Kids, Inc (and of course MASK). I’m always looking for Danger Bay, Our House, and Harcastle & McCormick (and Hawk and Spenser for Hire) to somehow make the digital transfer to streaming somewhere. Also, I’d add 3-2-1 Contact to this list.
There is honestly maybe 10 shows that were forgotten. Everyone remembers The Greatest American Hero or at least know the theme song. And Small Wonder was a quirky gem of a show. We remembered it and it wasn't even a prime time show, it was syndicated.😅
@@JohnLeePedimore ….Always enjoyed the concept of Stingray. The hero came into town. He didn’t go around worrying about dating the hottest girl in town . He just solved the problem at hand and then left. The quintessential lone wolf character who just helped people.
They missed so many good shows too. Stuff like My Secret Identity, Cover-Up, Dino-Riders, Snorks, Thunder in Paradise, the Plastic-Man Comedy/Adventure Show. So many memories, so little time. 😈
@@Virgil_Vex I'm not familiar with my secret identity or cover up. I do remember dino riders and the snorks and I totally forgot about the plastic man show. Wow. I found some dino rider cartoons. Ah the good ol days.
@@desertstonestudio3315My Secret Identity was done in '88, it had Jerry O'Connell before he did Sliders. And Cover-Up was with Jon-Erik Hexum from Voyagers, It might have been the last thing he was working on before he died.
When talking about unfairly underrated/forgotten TV shows, the first one that comes into my mind is Automan! I could add a few (Whiz Kids, Cover Up, Mission Impossible), but I'm surprised with that Highwayman: 10:16 never heard about Flash Gordon and V's evil queen lizard in a futuristic/distopic action series! I'd wish I could find it someday
My cousin had a bit part in The Greatest American Hero as a lawyer. Prior to that, he had a series called Carter Country in the seventies, and later, he co-starred with Andy Griffith playing the character of Tyler in Matlock.
I used to watch Automan and Manimal,and for years tried to remember their names. I googled both of them ages ago and found Automan,but no matter what i typed,i couldn't find Manimal. Thank you for showing me this and reminding me.
There were so many in this list that I remember so well and was surprised the short time they were on. I thought The Greatest American Hero could be a movie nowadays. Orlando Bloom as Ralph Hinkley and Dwayne Johnson as Bill Maxwell. Modern day take on it. ✌️😉
80's was a great time for TV. Heres a few more that would have fit nicely in this category.. Werewolf (1987) - actually one of my personal favorites Street Hawk Alien Nation Starman - based on the movie.
@bluejedi723 There was. Ron Perlman played the "Beast" and Linda Hamilton played the female lead in Beauty... and if I remember hearing correctly, George R.R. Martin actually wrote scripts for it.
I use to watch some with family some not but all these shows are part of my childhood from the cartoons from morning, to the afternoon, to the weekends. The shows weeknights to Saturday afternoon to the evenings, to nighttime. Great times I wish to go back to.
@@bluejedi723Beauty And The Beast with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman one of mine and my late Mother's favorite TV series never miss an episode. I got a big crush on Linda Hamilton she was so beautiful and sexy in it.
I remember most of these shows and have some of them featured on my channel. If you can get past the effects of the time, they are some really good shows...
You took me back with the Insectaurs !! i had the fly glove action figure back in the day it could carry G.I. Joe it was a gift from a relative who wasn't sure what I collected; enjoyed the item nonetheless.Big fan of Automan and the Voyagers (note: the actor who played Finius Bogg was finished from an accidental head wound ... playing with stage pistol. Sad but true. I found out much later in the year from my pops who found out from an article in TV guide if I remember correctly). This video was lots of fun. Thumbs up.
i remember all of them .If i had to choose to bring one back then it must be "' Automan"" I t was one of the shows that definitely captured my imagination when i was a child and i even remember that the toy line came out as well that same year which was amazing
A friend of the family, and her sister, shaved her head, and sang "Onward Christen Soldiers in the first episode of Greatest American hero. She has since passed away. Yes, she is listed at the end of the show, not on IMDB.
They are definitely remembered now because there are numerous of these list on RUclips on line for the past 10-15 years....With alot of the same shows.
I remember "TGAH" (although, in Sweden, it was called "Look who's flying") Automan and MASK, but the latter was only available via cable-tv which we didn't have at the time - and by "we" I mean my family.
German here: first off, thank you for the video, there was quite something new for me to see. I saw a lot of stuff, even shows that didn't last long (not 80s, but remember Special Unit 2 or Codename: Eternity?) But i never saw even a snippet of The Greatest American Hero or Misfits of Science (looks like Mutant X took some inspiration or...Mutant X looks like that, but serious), Small Wonder, Matthew Star, Automan, Manimal, Highwayman, Voyagers and the rest i don't mention below: Riptide was pretty famous in germany, nice show, saw it a lot. It probably still runs today, i don't watch TV anymore. I actually watched some „Out of this World“ Episodes, i only remembered just now because of this video. I watched Turbo Teen as a kid and MASK too, we even had the toys of that show available. There was also a version of Kids Incorporated, it was called „Mini Playback Show“ Wow, naming a show „Edison Twins“ is bold xD Guess a famous name is enough sometimes, huh? Never saw that too, probably never ran here, i don't know. (not diminishing the show, just never heard of it) As a Sci-Fi nerd, i'am shocked that i never saw Space Academy.
I remember. I'm still trying to find Misfits of Science on dvd for region 1!! I already have The Greatest American Hero on dvd for all seasons and the pilot for the spinoff.
Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free hee hee Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it beeeeeeee? Believe it or not, it's just me!!!!!
Som I've skimmed through, and enjoyed both the video and many of the great memories offered by the wonderful comments! You have a great community here!! That said, one in particular still seems to have missed everyone's list. "Hard Time on Planet Earth", Starring Martin Kove of Cobra Kai. Like every one else, thanks for inspiring so many memories!
Man! Turbo Teen and Small Wonder was my shit! I remember Riptide, G.A.H. Tales of the Golden Monkey, and Kids, Inc. Another singer came from the show Kids, Inc. His name was Rashaan Patterson. Great video! One question. How could you forget Street Hawk, Airwolf, Charlie and Company, Bustin' Loose, and the My Pet Monster cartoon? You GOTTA make a part 2 and/or part 3 over this video (if you haven't already)
the first attempt to reboot the Greatest American Hero was a failed a pilot that almost become a sequel called Greatest American Hereon and that pilot was made a couple years after the show was canceled. so, there was never a reboot in the 2000's however, there were many attempts but kept getting stuck in development hell due to rights being passed around so many times and never got passed the planning stages. Riptide was by far the most underrated shows today since not many who talk about much. it lasted a few seasons. Space Acadamy was not an 80's show. it first aired in 1977!
The Greatest American Hero, Small Wonder, Riptide, Automan, The Powers of Matthew Star, Kids Incorporated, and Space Academy were all my favorite shows.... Definitely Automan... that was the ultimate fav...I was so upset when they cancelled it
Great shows: add Street Hawk, Blue Thunder, The Fall Guy, Hardcastle & McCormick, V, Mama's Family, Alice, Fraggle Rock, Silver Spoons, Doogie Howser M.D., Buck Rogers, Moonlighting, My Secret Identity, SilverHawks, GoBots, Centurions, C.O.P.S., Heathcliff, Dungeons and Dragons, USA Cartoon Express, Charles in Charge, You Can't Do That On Television, Mr. Wizard....
Manimal got a recall when the character guest starred in an episode of a late 90s superhero series "Nightman" which interestingly enough lasted 2 seasons even though it was not as great as Manimal...
Every year....there comes a time where I can't think of anything to watch and I'll throw on "The Greatest American Hero". Wish Will Ferrell would have made a movie version about 15 years ago when he was younger.
For me, The Greatest American Hero was never forgotten. I have the 7" single on record. I definitely remember Small Wonder, but the rest of them I never heard of.
Nah. Greatest American Hero has NEVER been forgotten. At least not for me. Sure watching today it was kind of corny but to an 8 yr old back then it was nothing short of magical.
True! I also never forgot Auto MAN (not pronounced 'Ottoman'). But those 90 degree turns were a bit overdone.
The greatest American hero was my favorite TV show when I was growing up and I still love it now.
Fun fact. Bill Katt auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker
Seeing Bill with his car phone then, high tech now old school.
Even got the DVD set soon as I could.

I remember Beauty And The Beast. It starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Pearlman. The Beasts name was Vincent and he always scared me as a little kid although he was actually nice!
My mom and I watched the live action Beauty and The Beast all the time. The show was run and written by Mr. Game of Thrones himself, George RR Martin.
Automan is pronounced Auto Man. Not "oddomin". Also, Nebicher was pronounced Nebbicker. Automan did not turn into a car. Cursor created the car.
haha came here to say this. Did he turn into a foot rest? 😂
Also it’s Jay Cee and the wheeled warriors, not Jays

THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO TRULY WAS TRULY A FANTASTIC TV SHOW .
I agree. Great chemistry between the 3 leads. Funny. Charming. Feel good show if there ever was one. Unique. Too bad they didn't do 1 more season.
It was a great show, brilliantly written mix of comedy, action and drama. Though in the 3rd season it suffered.
I hated the song. "Believe it not"
I usually just found all the episodes I can't wait to sit and watch
Bad timing. They had to start calling him Mr H after the attempted assassination of Reagan.

I loved Carter Country! "Handle it, Roy! Handle it! Handle it!"
Other word. I still rewatch it every now and then I would love to see a modern twist of it mind you that only made 8 episodes.
I watch all of them in the 80s. Love them and brought back good memories of my childhood.

Of all of these I only saw or remember M.A.S.K. and I absolutely loved it! And was very disappointed that I never got any of the toys.
Absolutely loved The Edison Twins and Danger Bay! Wish I could find them❤
Jayce and the wheeled warriors had an awesome theme song too, I still listen to it to this day.
Yes, the Voyagers was educational series
I remember these from sweden. I was the first in school to have cable TV with these shows on Sky channel and others.
Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air
I never thought I could feel so free hee hee
Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it beeeeeeee?
Believe it or not, it's just me!!!!!
Som I've skimmed through, and enjoyed both the video and many of the great memories offered by the wonderful comments!
You have a great community here!!
That said, one in particular still seems to have missed everyone's list. "Hard Time on Planet Earth", Starring Martin Kove of Cobra Kai.
Like every one else, thanks for inspiring so many memories!
Man! Turbo Teen and Small Wonder was my shit! I remember Riptide, G.A.H. Tales of the Golden Monkey, and Kids, Inc. Another singer came from the show Kids, Inc. His name was Rashaan Patterson.
Great video! One question. How could you forget Street Hawk, Airwolf, Charlie and Company, Bustin' Loose, and the My Pet Monster cartoon? You GOTTA make a part 2 and/or part 3 over this video (if you haven't already)
the first attempt to reboot the Greatest American Hero was a failed a pilot that almost become a sequel called Greatest American Hereon and that pilot was made a couple years after the show was canceled. so, there was never a reboot in the 2000's however, there were many attempts but kept getting stuck in development hell due to rights being passed around so many times and never got passed the planning stages.
Riptide was by far the most underrated shows today since not many who talk about much. it lasted a few seasons.
Space Acadamy was not an 80's show. it first aired in 1977!
Greatest American Hero: he got the instruction book twice!
And lost it when he shrank himself.
Forgetful Ralph strikes again.
@mmitsuda01 and lost it once then shrunk down and left the replacement book shrunk.
I remember that.
Ralph: hey i can shrink myself
Bill: why dont we start with something simple
LOL
I remember seeing some of these TV shows. I hope to be able to get them all on DVD and Blu-ray.
The Greatest American Hero, Small Wonder, Riptide, Automan, The Powers of Matthew Star, Kids Incorporated, and Space Academy were all my favorite shows.... Definitely Automan... that was the ultimate fav...I was so upset when they cancelled it
Loved me some Greatest American Hero. Kids Inc. was also a huge part of my childhood.
Oh my god the phoenix!!! One of my favorites
I saw and remember all but 5 of these shows. Phoenix, Space academy, misfits of science, highway man, and The Power Of Matthew Star.
I remember The Greatest American Hero. Think about it now & then. I remember about 9 of these.
Great shows: add Street Hawk, Blue Thunder, The Fall Guy, Hardcastle & McCormick, V, Mama's Family, Alice, Fraggle Rock, Silver Spoons, Doogie Howser M.D., Buck Rogers, Moonlighting, My Secret Identity, SilverHawks, GoBots, Centurions, C.O.P.S., Heathcliff, Dungeons and Dragons, USA Cartoon Express, Charles in Charge, You Can't Do That On Television, Mr. Wizard....
Out of this world, loved it, looking back, reminds me of Sabrina The Teenage Witch
Amazing I have been telling people about automan and now they can see him thanks to you.
Manimal got a recall when the character guest starred in an episode of a late 90s superhero series "Nightman" which interestingly enough lasted 2 seasons even though it was not as great as Manimal...
I remember al of these shows and watched them all
I remember all of these shows. great memories...
Greatest American hero is awesome show.i still watch it on Amazon
Riptide!!!! Omg forgot about it love love it, Sectors holly Sxxxx I had the toys wow amazing vid
I loved the Screaming Meemie! That was one ugly copter!
Every year....there comes a time where I can't think of anything to watch and I'll throw on "The Greatest American Hero". Wish Will Ferrell would have made a movie version about 15 years ago when he was younger.
"The Phoenix" was my favorite show at the time. Judson Scott was a beautiful man.
For me, The Greatest American Hero was never forgotten. I have the 7" single on record. I definitely remember Small Wonder, but the rest of them I never heard of.
Loved Rip Tide !!! That helicopter is still in service today, it's obviously had a few makeovers.
Honestly watched all of these and loved them.
Automan was a fun and exciting show. Very underrated .
