Once A Hero (Episode 1: Believers) Part 1

[@DaleLongGoldCylon]

About 14 years ago (2007) I bought out the balance of a costume storage locker. It had 7 of the hero costumes. It was pretty cool to find out what show the costumes came from. They sold off quickly once I was able to ID them.

I've been looking for this show for 20 years! PLEASE post the rest if you have it!!

[@starkid77]

Please show more of this, I feel more enriched just by watching it:)

[@DavidNagel]

Oh man, I was an extra on this show in one of the episodes that didn't air. I'd love/hate to see it! It was the only thing I was ever in as a paid extra. I don't remember much about it, except I played a street tough, and they made me wear a leather jacket with no shirt. (I had an American flag on my own bomber jacket, and of course no villain on TV could be seen wearing an American flag! That wouldn't be realistic. Hahaha.) In one of the scenes, my fellow toughs and I had to run from a horse that was galloping toward us (on what seemed like an awfully slippery street to be messing around with a galloping horse) ... but that, of course, is how you defeat street toughs ... just jump on a horse that happens to be hanging around the streets of Venice Beach.

I enjoyed this show very much and looked forward to the 4th episode which featured Adam West as the actor who played Capt. Justice on tv. Do you have the rest of the episode. I could only find this part 1.

[@bryanjohnson4927]

Funny! I worked on this show . It was filmed in Culver City and I worked for the Executive Producer Dusty Kay at the writers office in Santa Monica. I was a Production Assistance. It was a blast!

One of the many series in the 1987 fall season that bombed.

[@ThePbrook1967]

Where are the other parts???

[@TheMikester307]

I never saw this! The set-up reminds me of the old Flash story "The Flash of Two Worlds."

[@jamesnoble07]

do you have part 2 of this episode?

[@jamesnoble07]

Do you have the opening to Once a Hero?

[@starkid77]

I would sell a friend to see the Adam West episode. Did it air outside the U.S.?

[@jasonhyland7404]

The kid who played Cubby Watson I've seen him in Ernest goes to Camp and a few t.v sitcoms.

[@zigfried64]

Josh Blake was on ALF's final season. He also had two Broadway musical flops on his resume; RAGS and THE HUMAN COMEDY. He had quite a strong singing voice.

[@CVWII]

if there's more please post it.

[@chuckcollins]

@robertartwriter Unlike anything else I have put up here, there has been popular demand to NOT post anymore!

[@robertartwriter]

Pity. The show improved with each episode. What this 1st part shows is Milo O'Shea's character losing his edge and repeating hackneyed plots in his comic books. Out of touch with the new generation of kids, he is surprised by their pointed questions. Each of the 3 episodes that aired dealt with comic book inconsistencies, such as villains always getting away, not so secret identities, etc. The campiness was to show how out of date Milo's writing was. Opinions may change after seeing the rest.

[@sammylane21]

Wow!You guys in the '80's must have really,REALLY loved smoking hard weed to actually watch this crap.It is more cheesy then that campy '60 Batman show(which is better by several miles!).The argument that they have about the "invisible" missiles just reminds me of MEGA MIND when he and Brad Pitts character are saying something about "The Microwave of evil".Lol!!XD

[@InvaderKush]

I mean it only aired 3 episodes, and the rest are unaired. It was a shitty show for the 80s too haha.

[@diddymuck]

can see the reason it was ditched. Corny, strange, complete lack of an anchor character, and a liberal dose of the worst invention ever created as a means of re-translating comic book adventurism to television...namely, CAMP.
