Hey, remember on the episode where we hear George's answering machine message?? I believe the tune was from a T.V. show from a while ago. Long since off the air. It was about this blonde super-hero with curly hair that used to fly around. I can't remember what show this was off of. Anyone else know?? I'll post the wav in case you don't remember. Thanks.

George's singing message - George isn't home...[The Suzie]

                              Believe it or not, George isn't at home.
                              Please leave a message at the beep.
                              I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone.
                              Where could I be?
                              Believe it or not, it's just me.

The lyrics to the theme song from "Greatest American Hero" are:

                              Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
                              I never knew I could feel so free.
                              Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
                              Who could it be?
                              Believe it or not, it's just me.

"The Greatest American Hero", starring William Katt.

(Trivia tidbit: The GAH title character's name was Ralph Hinkley. Shortly after the series premiere in March '81, John Hinckley shot Reagan; so ABC redubbed the already-in-the-can episodes and changed the name to "Hanley". However, later that year they went right back to using "Hinkley" again. Why do I remember these things???)

It was from "The Greatest American Hero."

Great show. Anybody remember the very last episode of that show? Ralph finally gets the instruction book for his super suit and then uses a command to shrink himself and he ends up shrinking the book too! geesh... hehehe
