From the ClassicTelevisionTime community on Reddit: Mike Post snuck The Greatest American Hero theme into S01E09 of Hill Street Blues

Utm content removed?

I was watching season 1 episode 9 "Your Kind, My Kind, Human Kind" and I can find no reference to this little gem. It's a rendition of The Greatest American Hero theme during the scene transition.

I'd love to know which came first. Is this an Easter Egg, and later became the inspiration for the theme…or had he already composed the theme and snuck this in?

March 18, 1981 The Greatest American Hero premiered. This episode aired 3 weeks prior, Feb 28, 1981.
