3. I loved that show as a teen, I was really crazy about the theme song...

The lead character's name was Hinckley, similar to my own. After President Reagan was shot, the other characters referred to him as Mr "H"...

There was another show out abut the same time called Salvage 1 with Andy Griffin and others. ABC programming offered some really unusual but memorable (for me anyway) shows in the 70s & early 80s.

4. Wow, I had forgotten how long TV theme songs could be back in the day :)

I loved this show and still remember a lot of scenes like whenever he was shot at he would put his arms up around his face and head. One time he was in an alley jumping in the air trying to fly, and a little kid told him he had to take three steps then jump so he did... and he did.

Katt recently had a small role in the last Arrowverse crossover event (Arrow, Supergirl, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow) as the minister who was going to marry Barry Allen (Flash) and Iris West before he was vaporized by an invasion of the heroes' Nazi doppelgangers and their stormtroopers from another Earth.

5. OMG-Talk about a blast from the past

This makes me happy

Thank you for finding this. I loved this show as a kid. Brad Jones used to have this as his opening theme for his Cinema Snob videos. I think some of them might still be on YouTube. I'll bookmark this thread and watch the episode tomorrow.
