It's like The A-Team meets Roger Corman's Fantastic Four, with a dash of The Bionic Woman thrown in for good measure:
This is all courtesy of Popoholic. I have to admit that not only do I remember this, but I loved it. The '70s were a real golden era for superhero TV between this, Linda Carter's Wonder Woman, and the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk.
Although some of us (I'm looking at you, B.J.) were always partial to the early '90s, John Wesley Shipp Flash.
That Flash TV show was awesome. Much closer to Max Headroom than Manimal on the spectrum of '80s action-TV greatness.
ReplyDeleteInteresting tidbit: Before making it big on Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes was a Captain America costumed performer at store openings and parties and whatnot.
Don't forget Nicholas "Friedrich" Hammond as Spider-man!

The evil dog dosing henchmen of Christopher Lee is today Monk's shrink so he must have gone straight after facing Captain America.
ReplyDeleteHas anybody here ever seen the 1990 version, with Matt Salinger in the title role? If so, how was it?
