I have the Greatest American Hero DVD sets which includes this episode.
I *know* I must have watched it, but I have no memory of it. Odds are
it's the only episode in the set I've watched seeing as how seasons 2
and 3 are still in the shrinkwrap.

I watched:

The Blacklist - "Marvin Gerard: Conclusion, Part 1" - Penultimate
episode from a few weeks ago. This one pretty much lays out the entire
backstory of what happened this season and why. It was OK.

Josie and the Pussycats (blu-ray) 2001 live action musical comedy
starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid. They are a
small town rock band that stumble into an evil plot for world domination
run by the music industry. I love this movie! It holds up great. This
is one of *many* movies I had planned to watch last year but had to hold
off on watching because my screen hadn't been installed yet. I'm glad I
held off on watching because it looks great on the big screen. I
actually met Rachel Leigh Cook a few years ago at a convention and got
her autograph on a Josie picture. She was super sweet.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (blu-ray) 2016 musical mokumentarty
(think "This Is Spinal Tap") starring Andy Samberg as a Justin Bieber /
Timberlake type who leaves his hit music group to go solo with all the
ups and downs that follow. I haven't watched this since it was
originally in the theater, but it's been on my watch list for a while.
I was surprised to see the movie was *full* of SNL cast members, in
particular I noticed Chris Redd who co-stars in the movie and has been
starring on SNL for a few years now, but wasn't on SNL at the time this
movie came out. I wonder if this movie opened the door for him to get
on SNL or was he already on their radar.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+) "Lift Us Where Suffering
Cannot Reach" - I forgot to mention this from the other day. At this
point I don't think there is any way to argue that they aren't just flat
out remaking old episode. This is 6 for 6! This week's remake involves
The Enterprise visiting a planet with a city in the clouds where the
inhabitants live the good life at other's expense. Meanwhile the
captain of the Enterprise hooks up with the alien of the week.

A sample group of one (i.e. _you_) is not a valid basis for a scientific
conclusion. Where's your control group to rule out other causes of
smoochielessness?
