I really wish it had gone on beyond one season: the series had good actors, good special effects, and some fun, quirky stories.

You guys are fantastic, identifying these superheroes in such short order.<br /><br />The only one that seems to be giving you both grief at this point is #16, which is actually the late Simon MacCorkindale as "Manimal," another Glen Larson series that arrived the same year as Automan.<br /><br />But still, you two are super-impressive getting these; and Howard, you have great discipline to resist the joke (from your quote in my Superhero book) about Black Scorpion! :)<br /><br />Hi Sci-Fi Fanatic: These are gorgeous superheroes, aren't they? The Tick is an amazing, wickedly funny show and I highly recommend it! <br /><br />I agree with you about Lynda Carter.
