On a whim I rented the DVD’s for the Greatest American Hero. Iguess i wanted to feel like I was 10 again. Then I started reading about it on wkipedia and they claim that a movie is being made. I’m psyched! I loved this show when I was a kid. Anyone know anything about this? I think Richard Dean Anderson as the Culp character. I have no idea about Ralph, but perhaps Jennifer Aniston as the Seleca character. Any other ideas? ---

According to [upcomingmovies.com](http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/preview/1808404269), the movies is in production limbo and no cast has been announced yet. (although the last update was 3 years ago, your info may be more recent) IMDB has nothing on it. ---

[QUOTE=Hypno-Toad] Also, he changed his last name twice and nobody even noticed. [/QUOTE] _I_ noticed–at least the first time! But then, I was expecting it. After I heard that the man who tried to kill Mr. Reagan was named Hinkley, I figured that there would be SOME kind of reference to it in GAH. IIRC, they renamed him “Hanley.” And I seem to remember that eventually they changed his name back to the original “Hinkley.” ---

We had the same reaction at Casa Toad when his name suddenly became Hanely.
