    Very fond memories of this show as a kid!, loved it...watched it every week on RTE, the theme song was it hit as well. William Katz, Robert Culp was quite good in this show....who was the hot girl?, Penny something :)

    Ah....the absolutely STUNNING Connie Sellecca!!!....i used to love her in Hotel.

    I remember this as well. I only seen a few episodes, but they were great. If I remember correctly, the guy got a 'super' suit from some aliens but lost the manual. Only in the 80's could you have a plot like that!

    This along with CHiPs was my first televison memory, and its actually William Katt who played the Lead

    And it got a R1 dvd release at least as i picked up the first season box set in america a couple of years ago.

    nostalgia aside it has not aged well!

    think i've seen sheldon from TBBT rocking a tee shirt in a few eps.

    I got the R1 release in the US a couple of years ago and i agree on it not aging well. I was actually very disappointed when i watched it as it wasn't as good as i remembered it. Theme tune still rocks though.:)

    I regret having re-watched an episode a couple of years ago. It really was one of those programs which belonged in its time and our memories thereof.
