Entertainment Weekly

GAH tweaks the superhero genre with an ironic wink but stops just shy of kitsch; there are actually genuine moments of dramatic tension along with the slapstick humor of Katt inevitably crash-landing into a wall, shrub, or Culp.

Hero's greatest asset is Culp. While Katt is energetic and charismatic as hell, and Sellecca proves to be an excellent comic actress and foil for the boys, Culp shines as the gung-ho uberpatriot.

You could do worse than the big-hearted, off-the-wall comedy drama of The Greatest American Hero... The feature-length pilot still works fine as a slightly weird standalone movie.

Given its relatively mild content and the intriguing characters at its heart, this series is a fun escape from today's heavier dramas.

Spacemen give schoolteacher William Katt a suit that endows him with superhuman powers... Thereafter Katt, girlfriend Connie Sellecca and FBI agent buddy Robert Culp sputter as often as they soar in this late-season replacement series.

This is not merely a variation on ''Mork & Mindy.'' It has a devilish little mind of its own.

PopMatters

The Emmy-nominated two-hour pilot is a fantastic start to the series, focusing tightly on the relationships between the bickering characters and walking a very fine line between the absurd situation and a reasonably realistic world.

The scripts range from clever to mediocre, but Katt has a winning presence and he and Culp make good foils.

San Francisco Chronicle

This William Katt/Robert Culp everyman superhero comedy wasn't the most polished television show of the 1980s, but it had a nice spirit to it.
