Fabulous., 10 Oct 2006
Probably the best Britcom this side of the millenium, My Hero puts a whole new spin on Superheroes. With the main character an alien, this creates a lot of jokes and scenarios similar to Mork And Mindy, but thanks to characters like the wonderfully cruel Mrs Raven, the devilishly tight Arnie, and the insane Tyler, the show maintains its freshness and becomes an original show, well plotted with lots of humour.
It's a shame that only Series 3 was released on DVD, and hopefully the others will be soon. Well, except for the ghastly Series 6, where James Dreyfus took over the reins. Shocking.
Ardal O'Hanlon does a wonderful job, and makes everything incredibly watchable. If the Beeb can bring out his 5 years, they'll be doing everyone a favour.

EXTREMELY FUNNY!, 29 Jan 2006
Absolutely side-splitting a truly great comedy, from the evil mrs raven to the 'full-of-himself'doctor crispin, i hate those stupid people who go around putting bad comments on everything they see, they must have no life. Anyway there couldn't be a better idea for comedy.

My Hero, 18 Sep 2003
This is one of the best british comedies ever ranking up there with the likes of Fawlty Towers and Black Adder. It is interesting and gives you a bellyful of laughs.The highlight of the edisodes is the baby which can't talk and has other superpowers. It reacts in baish ways with adult intelligence. The episodes range from Geroge Sunday (Thermo Man)being able to speak dog to him looking like and old decrepid man. My favourite episode is Pet Resue. In this episode George and Janet have to look after Biggles Janet's mum's dog. George hates it and one of the highlights of the episode is when he stands on a table in fear of "The playhouse of fleas". George decides to try and understand it by ordering a animal translator. When he gets it he accidently starts speaking piegon and piegon comes to the door. Then he changes it to dog and the first thing biggles says is "Bloody hell a human has never spoken to me". Through the course of the episode the dog tells George things which leads to George telling Janet's mum that his name isn't Biggles and he hates his coat. George tells biggles to assert himselves so when Janet's dad tries to put a new jacket on him he bights his balls. This leads to him saying that he will put the dog down at the vets, but doctor Pierce insisted on having at the surgery. But their wasn't enough drugs to kill the dog so they decided he would be put down in the morning. That night George rescuses biggles and takes him to his long lost mum.
