• Should they have ended this show when Ardal wouldn't come back?

  Personally, I think that My Hero is going down hill and I wish it hadn't come back. If it comes back next year it will probably end up as a laughing stock.

• DVD News for Series Two

  Series Two, including the Christmas episode, will be available on 7 August 2007 in the US and presumably Canada, although it's not currently listed at the sites I visited. The UK and Australia are still out of luck, sorry guys.

  5 Mediocre

  disappointing hide « show »

  i expected more from this show. The first few episodes were funny but it got old very quickly and the storyline never changed(superhero trying to be normal- unoriginal too). Ardal O'Hanlon was not at his best and i found it hard to see him as anyone else but Dougal from father ted, and i think this was a problem for other viewers too. I think his performance was very wooden and that he really isnt the best actor, only as i said in father ted. They could have done more with this show. I'm not suprised at all that it was cancelled.

  Do you agree?

  beautiful janet having the most versetile facial expressions while dealing with thermoman/husband if front of the society covering up for his frank one liners and saving the day for him. tailor is the character to look for for his accent and wierd dressing style.arnie cousin of thermoman is always up to his cheeky ideas and is always ready with a solution to thermomans problems.

  The reason why I feel it needs to be back is because it is so tense. Not only is it a mysterous but there is always something new that makes more in tense.I like the guessing game makes, the show fun. hide « show »

  The person that wrote the show has very good imagination to keep the flow of the plots going,to make you want to keep watching and wondering. I like these kinds of shows I hope there are many more of it. My favorite hero are peter , hiro
  and clara. I like the scientist too.They are the top of my choices. Very least is syler,jessica and Issac I want to see more of what the little boy and his father can do to see if I can put them on my favorite or least favorite. I hope soon.

  My Hero follows the superhero George Sunday (Thermoman) who has come to Earth and meets Janet who he falls in love with. The main plot follows how he adapts to life on Earth and his relationship with the people around him. hide « show »

  My Hero had one of the best comedians in the UK with Ardal O'Hanlon who was made famous on Father Ted. He made the character as funny as he was because of the way he acted which made the character seem somewhat believable. The main focus of the comedy was George not being aware of Earth's way of thinking. This leads to a lot of mishaps when he interacts with other characters such as Piers, Mrs Raven, and Janet's parents.
  
  In my opinion the show should have stopped when Ardal left the show instead of bringing in James Dreyfus. This led to some farfetched (even for this show) transformations to the new Thermoman and this means that the whole of the newest series revolved around this, meaning it was nowhere near as funny as previous seasons.

  Following the life of a superhero living on earth hide « show »

  This used to be a great programme but since Ardal O'Hanlon left it's kind of gone downhill. I really do think that the BBC should have just axed the show since it doesn't have the same appeal to it anymore. Some blame the ratings on reality television shows such as Big Brother and Love Island but i really do think it is down to the fact that the show isn't as popular as it used to be. What it really needs is for the writers to sit down and ocme up with a decent stpryline to bring back the magic that the programme once had.
