Rare unaired pilot for a sequel series to the cult classic 80s superhero show The Greatest American Hero. As you can guess from the title, the idea this time is that the hero is now a woman. Starring Mary Ellen Stuart along with original The Greatest American Hero cast members William Katt, Robert Culp and Connie Sellecca, amongst others.
The plot: In 1986, the original cast of The Greatest American Hero reunited for a pilot film for a new NBC series to be called The Greatest American Heroine. The pilot reveals that several years after the final episode, Ralph's secret identity was finally revealed to the public, resulting in his becoming a celebrity. This upsets the aliens who gave him the suit, and they charge him with finding a new hero to wear the costume and use its powers for fighting evil. He finds a young woman (Mary Ellen Stuart) who spends her time looking for lost kittens and teaching young children, and most of the episode deals with her learning how to use the suit under Bill Maxwell's guidance. The Greatest American Heroine did not result in a new series, and the pilot was never broadcast by NBC. Ultimately, the pilot was reedited as an episode of the original series (complete with original opening credits and theme), and added to syndication packages of the original series, where it airs as the final episode.
