Connie Sellecca

On The Greatest American Hero, Connie Sellecca is Pam Davidson, the lawyer orbiting a 1980s Cannell hour whose alien suit arrives without instructions. Katt's klutz hero crashing into trees, Culp's barking FBI handler, a Joey Scarbury theme that did more cultural work than half the plots. Sellecca plays Pam as competence and heat: a woman who has to love a man in a red suit that will not behave.

TV Flash keeps her because the superhero gag still needed a person with a job. Ralph owns the crash; Pam owns the reason the crash is a life. On this desk Sellecca is 1980s adventure-comedy craft — a Davidson who photographs as a blazer and plays as the adult who made Believe It or Not feel like a pairing, not only a flying accident.

ABC kept The Greatest American Hero on the schedule 1981–1983 — the window this file actually uses. On this desk Pam Davidson is supporting craft: the reason a famous format still has a person in it. Do not hunt a secret episode zero. s01e01 is listed for a reason. The Greatest American Hero (1) is alien suit, no booklet: Katt crashes into trees, Culp barks, Scarbury's theme already doing the cultural work. s02e01 is how The Greatest American Hero talks after it knows the assignment. The Two-Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Fastball is season two's sports title: klutz-cape still the joke, the theme still outworking the plots.

We file her as The Greatest American Hero first and Pam Davidson second. 1981–1983 on ABC is the rest of the map. If you only jump once, jump to s01e09. The Best Desk Scenario is Cannell superhero TV learning to smirk, years before the cape genre owned prime time. s02e01 stays on the card. The Two-Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Fastball is season two's sports title: klutz-cape still the joke, the theme still outworking the plots. The living room already knew the rest.
