The high school kids of the show Greatest American Hero form this band in the second season and make a few appearances.

They kick around some other names at first, like: Highway 101 and Downtown Express.

In the "Classical Gas" episode (December 2, 1981), agent Charley Wilde (Edward Winter) of Wild Licorice Records scopes out the band at the local club. He invites them to play the Classical Gas Concert, a benefit protesting the transport of nerve gas through residential areas. Unfortunately, terrorist Hydra (George Loros) wants to really release nerve gas at the concert. Big names playing the concert: Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Air Supply, Jackson Browne, The Who. Turns out Wild has connections to Hydra.
