Well I DO LOVE THIS SERIES, especially when poor Ralph has to explain to someone else why he's going around with his sort of pijama and slippers suit. I think there's something of ill in the design of his suit: I'd be so curious to know who and why designed it, so ugly, cheap, cheesy!!! Maybe it was intended to be so ridicolous because of the satire about superheroes, but nobody, nowhere and never again, can imagine something as horrible as Ralph's "mise". The series was very amusing (I still remember with pleasure the episode about the electric monster come from outer space, when Ralph's hair keep on beezing after the flash! :)) ), though special effects were really corny and Katt's face was sometimes unbearable (never seen such a head in my lifetime!). The most against-USSR series in world history!!! With soviets represented as jokers or monsters or clowns!!! No other series brought in its face the signs of Reaganian era, and fortunately no other one will be able to bring them! But no panic!!! Maybe Bush's era will make worse! I imagine "THE NEW GREATEST AMERICAN HERO", with Jim Carrey in the red suit fighting against the Bad Muslims from Afghanistan! All in all Ralph Hinkley/Hanley was my favourite hero when I was a child, and my favourite spoof now. In Italy they show the series several times, especially in the morning. And every time it's better!
