My Hero

The best comedy shows are where the actors all seem to have fun working together, and you get that feeling about My Hero. It's really good fun. This is only a knock-off of Superman, or Lois and Clark, in that the basic idea of a super hero is the same. There the similarities end. Ardal O'Hanlan is superb with his dead-pan delivery, and is ably backed up by the rest of the regular cast, which includes a completely insane neighbor whose world is sanely comprehensible, an ego-centric doctor, enough said, and the receptionist at the doctor's office, whom we have all met in one role or another. Back this up with a foil to them in the hero's long-suffering girlfriend, and you have a combination which is hard to beat. I love the clever writing and snappy dialog. A Great Show.

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.

Just saw an episode from the third season. The April Fool bits, the time travel bits are just wonderful. I can't understand the minds of the people who submitted negative comments. I find myself laughing out loud over and over. I suppose people who think Doctor Who was bad because it had low budgets and unlikely stories wouldn't like this one, but those people should stay away, stick to Space 1999 or Star Drek (which I watch, but it is so predictable it's almost irritainment).

My only complaint is the incompetence of TV Guide, which can't even tell me when there are new episodes, or any of the plotlines. It's on PBS in Oregon at 9:30 Saturday and worth setting your recorder for.

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 "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.
