Dynaman was a series that ran during the "Night Flight" block on the USA Network. The original show (Scientific Task Force Dynaman) from Japan is kept mostly intact, but the crew at "Night Flight" (including nearly all the members of "Kids in The Hall") added English dubbing to the show (think Mystery Science Theater 3000 if they completely muted the soundtrack of the movie and made a new plot to go along with the action). It's an absolutely hilarious parody.
Despite being an obvious parody, the action in this show is still really fun. Some of the best scenes from Scientific Task Force have been edited into the shows and placed to 80's rock music. Where else can you guys in rubber suits fight to "Hip to Be Square" or "Rebel Yell"?
The fight scenes were recut together by someone with a great sense of timing as they play like music videos, and amazingly, despite all the parody dialogue, it's so well done you have to take the fights seriously.
A real cult classic of a show. It has to been seen to believe how well it was pulled off. It's a shame only six episodes were made (plus a "Dynaman Convention" show). If this show aired today (or during the "Power Rangers" craze), it would have been a massive hit.
Episodes 1&2 also aired in syndication and Nickelodeon as a standalone "pilot", which is where I remember the show from.
