I need your collective brilliance here

My wife can`t remember the name of a tv show which was on around the same time as Charlies Angels. It was about a superhero who had curly blond hair and was a bit of a dork.
 The Japanese title was American Hero (probably not the orignal title)

House of Usher

Can you give us any more than that to go on, Floyd?
STRIKE !!!

WoD

Automan....

A special-ed teacher, an FBI agent, and a UFO? That's right, you've guessed it------- The Greatest American Hero. This show was first aired in 1981, and was both a comedy and a drama. A special "power suit" that only works on him is given to the teacher by the aliens, and he is paired up with the gumshoe FBI agent who keeps them both busy with his scenarios. The suit of "unearthly powers" gives the power of strength, flight, invisibilty, flames, telekenesis, vision of events without being there, protection from bullets and fire (if he remembers to cover his head!), and some others that he must figure out as well because; HE LOST THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH THE SUIT!

That sounds suspiciously like the Greatest American Hero, starring curly-haired fop, William Katt.http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/3657/hero.jpg">

George Costanza did his own version of the theme tune for his answerphone in an episode of Seinfeld IIRC.......bloody funny.
