"My Hero" is a concept which enables the script-writers to be as wild and wacky as they like. Its satirical technique relies on the Gullivers Travels' ploy of two cultures, in this case, Terrestrial and Ultronian, whose customs are totally foreign to each other, and need explaining - many of the laughs come from that; as what seems eminently sensible to one, is patently absurd to the other. It is also a spoof on all superheroes, yet Thermoman is believable, in his own way. The cast are all unique characters, with their own appeal to viewers.
No doubt "Doctor Who" was regarded with some diffidence by the BBC when it first appeared, yet went on to bigger and better things. I think this show has the same potential. Like "Doctor Who", it has a basic premise which allows for endless variation. Episodes of "My Hero" can vary from mildly amusing to outright hilarious. One of my all-time favourite TV shows.
