I'm doing this all from a memory that's 34 years old, so I may make some mistakes. What I remember about this delightfully funny program is:
Hank and his sister are orphans. They don't wish to be put in an orphanage, so Hank uses makeup and disguises to fool the authorities into believing that they are being cared for by an adult. Hank's scheme snow balls as he is forced to lie and pretend to be all sorts of people in order to keep the charade going without being caught. All the while, Hank is trying to get himself a good education (pretending to be someone he's not) so that he can better support his sister and remain independent.
I don't remember how long this series ran, but it is one of the very few that I can recall that actually had a closing episode.
Hank, in a zany and furious attempt to disguise himself as several people at once -- being one person in one place and then switching costumes, personas, and rooms at break-neck speed -- Hank is finally caught and his terrible secret revealed, much to the amazement of all. It is decided that Hank has shown tremendous resourcefulness and is granted his wish to remain in college and preserve his family, under the guardianship of one of the adults who knows him...one of his professors, I think.
As a child, I found this show extremely funny, maybe because I wished my own brothers were as nice as Hank. Oh well....

I remember this show well from my childhood, along with the other TV sitcom Camp Runamuck. I was in 5th grade when this show came out and watched every episode. It was funny, and to this day every once in awhile, the show's catchy theme pops into my head and I try to remember the lyrics. I saw the lyrics elsewhere on this site or another only today and can finally see what they are, because I had long forgotten them. I liked the show because Hank was always a positive guy, doing his best to take care of his sister, get a good education and better himself. Of course, all the running around, the costume changes and his efforts to get an education on the sly kept me entertained. I too remember the last episode when he was caught, but in the end, it had a happy ending. Being just a kid who really loved the show, I watched knowing it was the final episode and stayed glued to the tube through the closing credits and the last run of the theme song. Isn't it something how some shows touch you and are remembered fondly in your memory as you're growing up? By the way, the notion of somebody repeatedly slipping into classes without paying, etc. isn't so far-fetched. It was recently in the newspaper here in Southern California about some guy attending several college courses to learn, yet he was never enrolled in them. I can't remember the rest of this true incident, but it did happen.
I just happened to be looking at some old favorites and stumbled on this one. I was a fan of Hank too. Friday nights at 8 PM...followed by Camp Runamuck (another fond memory) at 8:30 (or vice versa)...... Hank did an unusual thing on this show..while others were "dropping out" of college, he "dropped in". He couldn't afford tuition and this was his only option for an education he desperately wanted. The other comments were accurate about his disguises and staying one step ahead of everyone...
The final episode had him impersonating another student (false chin and all) who was supposed to be under quarantine. He is finally caught after all his close calls during the run of the show. But, in his disguise, he had taken a standard exam and had scored the highest score ever recorded. He is assured of a scholarship and all his hard work is rewarded. The show ends with his future at the college assured........

I remember this show from watching the original broadcasts when I was pretty young, only I did not correctly remember the title. I recall the sub-theme that Hank could run so fast that the athletic coach wanted to know who he was, there was a certain implied irony (he was a natural athlete and could probably have attended college on a scholarship if he wasn't so preoccupied with auditing for free and running away). Long ago I tried to remember what the show was called and I confused the title with another show of the era so I probably doubly confused folks when I was reminiscing.
Anyhow, the show made a positive impression on me and I too had the problem of no one else having seen or remembered it until I did a Google search and stumbled upon it here.

Wow. I was starting to think I was the only person who REMEMBERED "Hank", let alone really enjoyed it! Was almost to the point of declaring my memory of the program to be a figment of my imagination when I finally came across a couple websites that actually had some info and clips! More proof you can find ANYTHING on the web, I guess! It's just nice to see the pics and remember my youth.
"Hank" has provided me with years of fun as a "stump anyone" trivia question! Many people actually accuse me of "making it up" when I share the plot line with them! Now I'll be able to send them the link to the sites!
