What show from the 80's was this

[VicTusDeuS]

This show was on in the late 80's and early 90's. I dont know if it ran for long but it was kinda cool..It was about some big dude who mustve came from another planet and he was sent here to be like a superhero. He had this flying eyeball looking thing that helped him...Im not sure what the name of the show was but i have faint memmories of it...
I remember one part he was in a park or somehting and this eyeball thing was disguised as a baloon with a string hanging down and some little kid wanted it his dad stole it or something...

I used to watch that show a lot back then. It was called L.S.D.

That would have to be The Greatest American Hero. I never watched it much, but I don't recall the flying eyeball thing. He did have x-ray vision, though. Maybe that's what it was.

"Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air,
I never thought I could feel so free,
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me..."

I downloaded the entire series on MPEG one day feeling nostalgic. Then I watched about half an episode and got sick of it.

lmao!!!!! Small Wonder is the cause of my insanity.

Does anyone know if the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins was really the kid Jamie from Small Wonder? Supposedly that's just a rumor.

I don't know about that, but I heard Paul from the Wonder Years is Marilyn Manson.

 

[Peyote Killa]

That is very false information, although the rumor actually was Paul was the drummer for Manson, then it got turned into Paul was Manson, but it's all false.
