“My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys”

“Fire Man”

Two different Greatest American Hero episodes with some intriguing stories.

The first one was Basically The Greatest American Hero No More.

If you are a Spider-Man fan like me, you know the reference to one of the classic stories of all time. Spider-Man was always looking to stop being Spider-Man, but he actually tossed his costume once.

Ralph does the same thing when his use of his suit nearly caused a tour bus to go off a cliff. Ralph started thinking about how dangerous he was with his suit and the possible guilt over his actions drove him to consider hanging up the suit for good.

Meanwhile, Maxwell was having his own crisis as his old army captain in the war starting making noise to Bill about stealing diamond from a fence and leaving the country. This had Maxwell doubting his own beliefs.

Both were cool storylines that did not go too deep. I would have like to have seen more of this, to see it more developed than what this show did. Perhaps even have them be separate episodes instead of both being contained inside the same one.

Oh, and there was the Lone Ranger too. Former Lone Ranger actor John Hart guest starred to influence and inspire Ralph to do the right thing.

It was Ralph’s own great power-great responsibility moment.

The next episode tested Ralph and Bill’s friendship and partnership by putting them at odds when Tony wound up as a main suspect in an arson case.

Ralph, Pam and eventually Bill, helped the fugitive Tony avoid getting arrested and trying to prove his innocence.

Both of these two episodes were different but they had the same base of Ralph and Bill at their core.
