The Greatest American Hero (1981)
Believe it or Not
I loved this show. Is was so cute and clever. Plus I give it 10/10 for having one of the best theme songs ever. I didn't think it was necessary to change his name because of the attempted assassination of President Reagan. Most people wouldn't have even noticed or cared.
Look at what's happened to me
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me
It was even parodied on an episode of Seinfeld when George rewrote the lyrics a bit for his answering machine greeting. (Believe it or not George isn't at home)
Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical (2001)
Poor choice for the Jeckyll/Hyde roll
Having seen this play on Broadway twice, I was excited to see that a taped performance of the play would be available on DVD. I was so disappointed in the choice of David Hasselhoff for the lead.I can see why the play closed soon after they hired him. His voice is too thin and his acting too wooden for this role. One of the times I saw the play Jack Wagner played the lead. He would have been a much better choice if they just wanted a well known TV actor in the film. Wagner did a good job on "This is the Moment". The best choice, of course, would have been the original star of the play. Still, I do love the play and music, and the ladies were fine choices. I guess it was better than nothing.
