NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 I remember watching it as a kid everyday, however I don't remember enough about the actual show to remember if it was actually any good, or it was just a case of a young kid being entertained by a guy in an orange suit, acting a'fool. Help me out here........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 Dude, it was a red suit! From what I remember of it, it was campy and fun. I enjoyed it as a kid, and again when FX used to show the replays. I'll probably be picking this up on DVD. FYI, last I heard they are making this into a movie sometime this/next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 I loved the show as a kid, but haven't seen it in syndication since '90 or so. I'll probably spend the $20 to check it out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2005 I picked it up this last weekend and have watched the first DVD (out of 3). Amazingly, the show holds up well 25 years later... except for the FX, of course, which are funny in their own unintentional way now. I imagine that as a kid I enjoyed the farce humor of Ralph's inability to use the suit, combined with the whole common-man-as-a-superhero thing. Watching it now, I see the real show stealer was Robert Culp as the tough-guy FBI agent. If you have $20 to kill and you remember liking the show, give it a shot. EDIT: One funny thing I noticed in the pilot was there seemed to be some suspicious songs inserted into the pilot that clearly were recorded recently. Turns out that these songs were put in place of "Rocket Man" and "Space Oddity" that were originally in the pilot... guess they didn't want to shell out the money for those.
