Anybody here familiar with the british TV show "My Hero", about an alien superhero named Thermoman who falls in love with and marries an earth girl, and he does not understand earth culture (he has a high amount of trust for people and takes things literally, for example)?

I think i remember it. It was Ardal O'Hanlan iirc.

Am just asking because if Thermoman were not an alien, he probably would be autistic.

I remember that show from many, many years ago.

I thought it was quite amusing at the time.

That wasnt the father ted guy?²

Isn't that Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews?

Ardal O'Hanlon (/oʊˈhænlən/; born 8 October 1965) is an Irish comedian, actor, and author. He played Father Dougal McGuire in Father Ted (1995–1998), George Sunday/Thermoman in My Hero (2000–2006), and DI Jack Mooney in Death in Paradise (2017–2020). His novel The Talk of the Town was published in 1998.

Did not watch that show as a kid. Of course, have always lived in the United States, it apparently was never broadcast here.

This is the guy from the television show My Hero in case anyone is wondering:

It was broadcast on public television, so you may not have seen it. I grew up watching it, and a lot of the "britcoms"

Whats this forum called again?

They were writers on father ted and others. Not this.

TBH, he's probably the one I remember most from that show. Father Dougal was hilarious.

I remember watching My Hero as a kid and yes he might show signs of autistic traits.

By the way I ended up watching a few episodes on Dailymotion and Youtube after seeing this thread, lol.
