Overview

The chronicles of  teacher Ralph Hinkley's adventures after a group of aliens gives him a red suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, Ralph, who hates wearing the suit, immediately loses its instruction booklet, and thus has to learn how to use its powers by trial and error, often with comical results.

Roughly 43h to watch every episode. This is an estimate: 43 episodes at the typical episode runtime of 60 minutes.
