Does anybody remember...?

A show about a group of superhero types that travelled round on a bus, I think they were a band as well. I seem to remember a song about truth and justice for all. Mighty sword of justice ? Maybe this was all a bad dream or several shows blended into one.

Was it Glam Metal Detectives?

Sounds like The A-Team. Except it was a black van with red trim, not a bus. And they weren't a band. And there was no sword of justice.

It was a a mixture of 'Summer Holiday', 'Spinal Tap' and 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I think it was entitled 'Bus Trek' - or was it 'Spinal Destination'?

I vaguely recall The Greatest American Hero starring William Katt. Could this be it?

Yes it was, just watched some on YouTube. Thanks! Blimey it's not very funny.

It was very badly received at the time.

So there really was a show called Glam Metal Detectives! Looking at two parts on YouTube, it certainly looks like it was different, daft and fun.
