This is a dated series that has a decent cast (two of them died young), but uneven writing. It is a good idea, but poorly thought out. It has no series or seasonal arc.
Each episode stands on its own, which is a problem because they are mostly pretty silly. The one in which a guy travels across the ocean to put a tiny statue in a rocket was ridiculous. The one with the wrestler was even sillier.
So many things never made sense. Somehow, what they could do was public and they were sort of heroes, but they had no problem attacking cops all the time. Generally, cops tend to look poorly on that. There were never complications in the simplistic universe created.
So, there were several episodes that were flat-out awful. Few of them were of interest, however. Probably the best was the wistful one with Ray Walston in which the old people had a brief rejuvenation, but that has echoes from an older science fiction story.
The silly plots and poor writing doomed the series. Its one redeeming feature was watching an early and radiant moment in the career of Courteney Cox.
