My Hero

I love "My Hero." It's cute and silly and lots of fun. I absolutely disagree with the other comments on this page. "My Hero" is very entertaining.

Ardal O'Hanlon is delightful as the superhero who falls in love with a normal woman. "My Hero" may not be quite on the level of Britcom classics like "AbFab" and "The Vicar of Dibley," but it has its own special charm.

After sifting through these comments I would like to add my own. I think this show is one of the best I've seen around in years. It is a very funny show and above all, enjoyable. I'm not a big fan of TV - but I will definately sit down to watch this.

The actors and actress' who star in this show play their parts to perfection and make the show very believable.

And for the people who have posted the negative comments, I'd like to say - you are entitled to your opinion, but, in all honesty - if this show is as bad as you make it out to be and you think the actors and actress' dont play their parts well, then you need your head examined because, at the end of the day, if this were true, they wouldn't be as successful as they are.

I love this show! I've been watching it on BBCAmerica, and it makes me laugh out loud--unlike American sitcoms. Ardal O'Hanlon is perfect in the role of an alien superhero, sniffing out trouble around Earth, dashing to the rescue quickly and efficiently--but absolutely clueless as to the ways and mores of earthly relationships. His attempts to adapt to Earth and England are for love, which makes them oddly endearing. The peripheral characters are a bit much; the Health Centre's receptionist Mrs. Raven and pompous Dr. Piers Crispin for example are one-note characters, and quickly become tiring. But the central relationship of George "Thermoman" Sunday and his lovely Janet (played with the right balance of affection and exasperation by Emily Joyce) sustains this lightweight but thoroughly enjoyable comedy.

this show is absolutely hilarious, Ardal O'Hanlon is great as George Sunday / Thermoman, his role is the perfect follow on from Father Ted, the show that made him a star.

George is a superhero from the planet Ultron, who came to earth as a superhero, he doesn't know anything about human life and therefore seems to be a total idiot, this is perfect for O'Hanlon who played the same sort of role as Father Dougal Maguire in Father Ted.

There are many funny characters in this show, there is Piers, a doctor that is a nationwide celeberity, he also doesn't realize that no-one likes him. There is Mrs Raven the evil receptionist at Piers' clinic, who says something nasty at anyone she sees. Then there is Janet, she is George's wife, and she also works at the clinic, she has two parents that hate each other, Janet and George have a baby with superpowers, it can talk as well, in one episode George loses his memory and the child is then forced to save people using his superpowers.

There was many very good episodes in the four series, my favourite episode is where George goes on a super hero training course and he has a replacement called Hillary, that episode was hilarious.

Overall, a very funny TV show, with great characters, great scripts and a very good leading performance by Ardal O'Hanlon. 9/10

I find this show to be most funny, mostly because of the characters.

George is an idiot amongst Humans, yet, being a superhero, is from another planet where his level of knowledge is acceptable.

Janet is the only normal one, caught up in the middle of a superhero husband, two always problemed parents, and the crazy health clinic she works at.

Arnie is George's cousin, who has become more Human like since he lost his powers for charging people to be rescued. He's a complete slob.

Tyler is George's neighbor, who believes he's from another planet, and that he visits planets and aliens all the time, most friequently, Gandalf the wizard.

Janet's Mother is a pain in Janets side, and Janet's Father is always dumbfounded by the situations he gets caught up in.

Mrs. Raven is the health clinic receptionist, who is pure evil.

And then there's Dr. Crispin, who is so amazed by himself, he never really understands what people actually think of him.

It's a great show, so go watch it.
