“The Lost Diablo”

It has been awhile since I watched an episode of The Greatest American Hero. The second season has been up and down, with some really good episodes and some episodes that I could leave. Episode seven is right in the middle.

Ralph, Bill and Pan took the kids on camping trip. However, Bill has a different idea. He had a map for a hidden treasure called the Lost Diablo and he wanted help gathering it up.

There were some silly moments in this episode, including a group of thieves setting themselves up to steal the claim out from under them.

Some of the action inside the cave where the gold was hidden was fairly dumb. There was one bobby trap and the mine was constantly threatening to collapse.

I was a little sad because I always like my heroes to be heroes and when the entire band of bad guys got crushed in the mine collapsing, I really wanted Ralph to be able to save them. Instead, he just left with Bill saying that none of them could have survived.

Not sure what this episode was really about, but it was okay, but not in the upper list of the show.
