Argh! The toenail clipping about made me gag. The toilet scene pushed me over the top. OY!
I never realized how long that song was, either.

The song lasted longer than the TV series.

i think the premise for the greatest american hero was brilliant. it cracked me up back then, and still does today. that was one of the shows, as soon as it hit dvd, i bought it.
