What tv show had the theme song believe it or not im walking on air

"Believe It or Not" is the theme song to the television show The Greatest American Hero and was composed by Mike Post (music) and Stephen Geyer (lyrics) and sung by Joey Scarbury.

The full lyric, "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air", is the basis for the title of the episode "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air".

In "The Man with Two Brians", Peter Griffin sings it while attempting a Jackass-like stunt, being pulled on roller blades on to a ramp while dressed as The Greatest American Hero.
