The listing, The Greatest American Hero Complete 2nd Season 17 Hours and 56 Minutes William Katt, Robert Culp DVD has ended.
Season two of The Greatest American Hero finds the title character (played by William Katt) reverting to his original character name of Ralph Hinkley, after the March 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan by a loser named John Hinckley prompted the series' producers to hastily (and in many cases clumsily) rewrite and redub existing episodes so that the protagonist was known as "Ralph Hanley." The ratings for The Greatest American Hero steadily climbed throughout the year. The basic satirical premise remains the same: presented with a super-powered red suit by a group of space aliens, nerdy high-school teacher Ralph Hinkley reluctantly transforms into a flying superhero, fighting crime and criminals at the behest of overzealous FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp). Hinkley is aided and abetted by his attorney girlfriend, Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca), and by four somewhat raffish students from his remedial education class: Tony (Michael Paré), Rhonda (Faye Grant), Cyler (Jesse D. Goins), and Rodriguez (Don Cervantes). Unfortunately, Ralph had lost the book of instructions which came with his marvelous suit, so his flying skills remain wildly erratic, and he continues to be amazed at how many remarkable powers are within his grasp
