Buy This Item My Hero - Season Two by BBC Warner  Available from Amazon  $16.99  on 11-15-2008     Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's health-food shop-owner George Sunday, alias the world's most famous superhero, Thermoman! Thermoman, a down-to-earth superhero in love, is back for another series of out-of-this world comedy adventures. In Series Two, Janet tells her parents who George really is, which causes more problems than it solves; a long-lost fiancee and an enemy from planet Ultron cause trouble; cousin Arnie steals the Crown Jewels; and wedding plans are afoot now that Janet is to have Thermoman's baby.<P><b>DVD Features:</b> <b>Biographies</b> <b>Other</b> </p> Reader Reviews Series Two of My Hero has started to hit its stride. While series one is great, the comic writing in series two is really coming into its own. Lots of clever jokes and great timing on part of the cast. A few reasons why I won't give it five stars: While in the first series, the plots were centered around Thermoman adapting to life on Earth, the second series has more farfetched plots and characters. I personally enjoyed it more when the storyline was centered around every-day occurances. The audio on the DVD is a bit dodgy as well. There were some scenes where the sound fluctuates so much so, you have to keep raising and lowering the volume to be able to hear the dialogue correctly. Also, and this is what bothers me most: No extra features!!! There is closed-caption and there is a section devoted to only three of the cast member's biographies, but the print on these biographies (mind you, I'm watching My Hero on a 42-inch plasma), is so small, I found it more rewarding looking up the cast on IMdB than trying to make out what the DVD said. It would have been absolutely great to have bloopers and deleted scenes bonus footage...after all, it is a comedy, so there's bound to be some outtakes. Director and cast commentary would have been great, too. It's a shame that no real extra features come with this series. Just the same though, keep My Hero coming out on region one for us Yanks, BBC!!!
