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.

Whether he's an idiot priest or a superhero from another planet that just doesn't get it, Ardal is hillarious.

When I first saw this show, I thought it was kind of dumb and cheap, but it soon grew on me.

The show is about a Super hero who comes from the planet Ultron. He lives on earth running an herbal medicine shop. He falls in love with the woman he saved, but because she thinks he's daft, he has to prove to her that he's Thermalman and eventually he moves in with her.

In the second season they have a child who talks, but since they have to keep everything else a secret, the kid is a bit of a risk.

It reminds me of a mix between The Adventures of Lois and Clark and Third Rock from the Sun.

I give this show **** out of five.

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.

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.
