The Greatest American Hero aired for three seasons from 1981 to 1983 on ABC. It starred William Katt as teacher Ralph Hinkley (or Hanley), Robert Culp as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell, and Connie Sellecca as lawyer Pam Davidson. They may have changed the name when it left prime time.

I loved this show. Ralph couldn't operate the suit because the instruction manual was missing. I almost forgot that there was a time when every user manual couldn't be downloaded from the internet. And this guy was a teacher - kinda scary that he couldn't figure the suit out after three years. Sleep well

Greatest American Hero. My parents used to tell me how I would open up all the cabniets and run through them and crash just like he did...
