A staple of 80s prime time sci-fi, this show follows the misadventures of a schoolteacher (William Katt) who is gifted a suit that grants him Superman-like abilities.

The show also features the great Robert Culp and one of the all-time best TV theme songs — believe it or not, I’m walking on air...
