The magic was just gone as a result of the kid getting older and losing his innocence. J and hung out more with his new high school pal. That best friend he had was just plain annoying, it seemed like Andrew lost some of his friendship with Dr.
Jerry O'Connell blossomed into this huge athlete and no longer came across as the uber geek anymore during the 1990-1991 final season. I think what ruined the series was when Andrew moved from middle school to high school and sprouted into this big, 5'10+ hulking guy. J in a very dated reference now) know about the powers.ala "The Greatest American Hero". For Andrew it's the greatest thing in the world to be a superhero, he even calls himself "Ultraman", but in a move that grounded the series in some mode of reality.he never goes public with his powers, only him and Dr. He's not like many heroes who hates having the powers and the responsibility of being a hero. Andrew like most 13 year olds, just loves the idea of having superpowers. And while he was no longer "the fat kid" like he was in "Stand By Me", he didn't yet look like some big studly jock, so the character of Andrew Clements had a very believable dorky aspect to him. Jerry O'Connell did this show after "Stand By Me" but before "Sliders", "Jerry Maguire" or any of his really big hits from the mid 90s to the present, so he was a recognizable 13 year old name but not a huge, elite name at the time.
The series seemed to revel in it's campy setting, and there were plenty of injokes for comic book fans. This was a really cool show from the late 80s and very early 1990s that revolved around a 13 year old kid named Andrew Clements that gets superpowers from his nerdy next door neighbor's plant growing laser beam. I remember "My Secret Identity" with Jerry O'Connell.
