Product Description ------------------- My Hero: Season 1 (DVD) George Sunday's life took an unexpected turn when he met and fell in love with Janet Dawkins, a nurse from Earth. The thing is, George is also Thermoman, from the planet Ultron, who dashes from one catastrophe to another as he juggles his two jobs: superhero and food shop owner. Keeping George's identity secret is very difficult for the young couple, but luckily Janet's parents and colleagues just think he is an idiot ]]> .com ---- What's it like to be a man of steel--with feet of clay? That's the cheeky premise behind the popular BBC comedy series My Hero, featuring an alien, Thermoman, also known as George Sunday, mild-mannered proprietor of a rather uny-looking British -food store. George has relocated to England because he's become smitten with earthling Janet, a British tourist he scooped from doom as she hurtled over the Grand Canyon. But life on earth--and in England, no less--can be dodgy to decipher for the best of us, let alone an alien. The series combines elements of The Incredibles, Smallville with a little more levity, Fawlty Towers, and a smidge of Mork & Mindy for good measure. The result is a cracking-good ensemble comedy with lots of very silly exploits. The ever-earnest George accomplishes one mission by hiding nuclear weapons from some serious bad guys; when Janet innocently inquires where, he's a tight-lipped superhero to the end: "I can't say. It's a secret. But if I were you, I wouldn't use the bathroom for a while." The disc includes cast biographies, some background info on Thermoman, and an interview with Irish star Ardal O'Hanlan. --A.T. Hurley
