Its not that bad these are all the episodes so far.

I don't know what to say other than it's a nice tribute with great casting.

Maybe I should add that Coy Duke should get them to either help produce
HIS youtube clips or at least throw him a bone with a cameo.

Also: Very hot girls cast in this.

Oh... Greatest American sidekick is hot/cute as heck too, but a tad shrill
to listen to for long periods of time.

Wow, that's actually watchable!

The premise is lame but he cast makes it palettable. They need to do more research. If they watch the DVD bonus materials SJC was very specific about where he wanted the show to go.

Elaboration?

Which premise is lame?

Research on what aspect of the show?/What direction of SJC are you referring to?

[johnmiic]

The idea that the suit would copy itself and the Aliens would add another member to the team of Ralph/Bill/Pam is lame. SJC or Stephen J. Cannell said on the DVD's that he resisted certain ideas like this because they dragged the show down into kiddie level entertainment. In my opinion this is a story he would not want to tell.

His metrics for good GAH stories are The Best Desk Scenario and The 300 mph Fastball. I interpet this as the best stories explore the characters and the suit is secondary instead of having the characters revolve around a plot device/prop-an extra suit/member to the team. What these people seem to be doing is re-telling the Greatest American Heroine plot and merging it to the regular show. The actors here have some talent so they are carrying it well but I don't think it's a very good story.

Thanks for the detailing johnmiic.

Having been a long time fan, I agree with most of what you're saying
about Canell and the skew here with the new heroine... I'll add that on
the negative side that it's a shame that the story hasn't exactly made
clear to me WHY she was chosen yet, but on the plus side, I find the
premise funny "An airhead cheerleader becomes Robin to Ralph's
Batman." It's even funny in Bill's disdain for her due to he being so
young and Pam being annoyed by her crush on Ralph....that's character
stuff not to be overlooked.
