Where to start with The Greatest American Hero

At the beginning, and you will know within the two hour pilot whether this is for you. A schoolteacher is given a superhero suit by aliens and immediately loses the instruction manual.

  1. 1
    Season one, the pilot and seven episodes The Greatest American Hero

    Nine numbered slots, eight programmes. A short spring run that sets up the teacher, the FBI agent and the lawyer, and the running joke that he cannot land.

  2. 2
    Season two, twenty two episodes The Greatest American Hero

    The full season and the best of it. The surname is back to Hinkley from the first episode here, for reasons in the note.

  3. 3
    Season three, fourteen slots The Greatest American Hero

    A short final run, and it ends on an episode that is not really an episode: a pilot for a spin-off with a different lead that was never picked up.

Then what? Nothing follows. Various revivals have been announced over the years and none was made.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. If you would rather not do it by hand, a free account syncs every device you sign in on automatically.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet works too, and an account does the same job without you having to remember a code.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
