Subject: do you know the sitcom?

Written By: dkp on 06/17/03 at 02:17 p.m.

Okay I need help. Everyday at work the radio plays the theme song to "Greatest American Hero" I know this was the theme song to a sitcom I used to watch all the time. However I have never heared of "Greatest American Hero". Does anyone know the name of another sitcom that used this theme song. I can't remember, but I want to say it was a family based sitcom. The song starts out "Believe it or not I'm walking on air." Help! It's driving me crazy not knowing! Thanks

It is only in "Greatest American Hero" that you hear this theme, as far as I know.  George Costanza did spoof it in an episode of "Seinfeld" though ;)

Let's see if I can scrounge up lyrics...

That's what everyone says but how come I  never heared of that sitcom until like a week ago? I guess I'm just nuts.

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true ue ue.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Here's a start-up for you:

The Greatest American Hero

Tapes and stuff are hard to find but you might be able to find it at toy fairs and what not...at least the pilot episode.  My friend Paul used to have the big red fro and looked just like the hero ;D

Yeah that's the song. My brain is certain another sitcom used it, but it won't tell me which one. I mean I've never seen "Greatest American Hero".
