I have been plagued with memories of a TV series from the 1980's of a little kid that somehow acquired super powers. One episode I remember was of him discovering that he could fly. I would like to know the name of the series and who the little kid was.

Possibly My Secret Identity
"My Secret Identity" (1988) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094516/)

Thank you Quinn F, that's it. So glad to know the identity of My Secret Identity.

You're welcome.
