I like the Greatest American Hero as you should know; I've referenced it before. Tonight I saw an episode previously unknown to me called "Wizards and Warlocks". Obviously trying to cash in on the DnD craze of the early 80's this episode takes it past a small gag to a full hour nerd-fest. It was awesome! If Cory was going to make an episode of this show, this would be that episode. They were throwing around dork-eese like Kid Niki throws ninja stars. During the course of the show, Bill, Pam and Ralph, have to play the game to find a kid who had been kidnapped by some people who don't play Wizards and Warlocks, proving conclusively that that people who don't play DnD are kidnappers. And they took the material at face value instead of trying to vilify the game as some gateway to murder and psychotic breaks with reality as some people might- I'm looking at you Tom Hanks.

And yes, they wore hats.
