Starman is a science fiction program that aired on ABC. The series was based on the 1984 motion picture of the same name.
The series takes place fifteen years after the film's story and features the return of the alien in the body of a deceased photojournalist named Paul Forrester to spend time with his now teenage son Scott Hayden, Jr. as they try to avoid a U.S. government agent and find the missing Jenny Hayden.
Each episode of the series had the fugitive father and son moving from place to place (in a format similar to The Fugitive, Kung Fu and The Incredible Hulk) meeting people that were in need of some assistance, while Scott tries to explain to his alien father what it means to be a human being. Each has a small silvery sphere of alien material, about 3–4 cm in diameter, that allows a trained mind to project thoughts to carry out telekinesis in some limited manner. Forrester is fairly adept, but Scott needs to learn how to focus. In one episode, "Blue Lights", Scott creates a picturesque image of a rotating ring of blue lights.
