Season one of the tongue-in-cheek fantasy adventure series The Greatest American Hero opens with the two-hour pilot episode, wherein high-school teacher Ralph Hinkley (William Katt) and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp) come into possession of a red "super suit" and a book of instructions, both gifts from visiting extraterrestrials.

Season one of the tongue-in-cheek fantasy adventure series The Greatest American Hero opens with the two-hour pilot episode, wherein high-school teacher Ralph Hinkley (William Katt) and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp) come into possession of a red "super suit" and a book of instructions, both gifts from visiting extraterrestrials. Unfortunately, the book is soon lost, so that neither Ralph nor Maxwell are aware of all of the suit's remarkable powers. All Ralph knows is that, whenever he dons the outfit, he is able to fly around with the greatest of ease, a talent that Maxwell harnesses to battle crime and criminals -- beginning with the prevention of a hostile rebellion in the U.S., spearheaded by the corrupt vice president. The only other people who know of Ralph's "secret identity" are his attorney girlfriend, Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca), and a motley quartet of students from Ralph's remedial education class: Tony (Michael Paré), Rhonda (Faye Grant), Cyler (Jesse D. Goins), and Rodriguez (Don Cervantes). Throughout the first season, Branden Williams makes sporadic appearances as Kevin Hinkley, Ralph's son from a previous marriage. Halfway through season one, Ralph suddenly acquires a new last name. Suddenly, those around him are referring to Ralph as "Mr. Hanley," or sometimes merely "Mr. H." This hasty augmentation was brought about after a man named John Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. Aware of this alteration -- and all too aware of the clumsy attempts to redub and rewrite episodes that had already been filmed -- some viewers developed a resentment for The Greatest American Hero and turned away in droves. Small wonder, then, that by the time the series inaugurated its second season in the fall of 1981, the hero was known as Ralph Hinkley again. Rovi
