In which the networks added a digital ones and zeros “addiction” to the worst possible garbage programming?   I haven’t seen it since it was actually on (age 9 or 10)   I don’t remember much else about the show but the concept of that episode stuck with me.   Will seek out and re-watch.

Sounds like a documentary

The question is does anyone remember Max Headroom as anything worth re-watching? I will have to dig up some old episodes, I thought it was pretty neat at the time. Re-reading the synopsis on wikipedia or IMDB makes it sound awful...  but I also liked that awful show ‘otto man’ or whatever that was.

Before my time but I have seen that really weird TV tower prank in Chicago.

automan! I remember that one being awesome! but have no des ire to back that up. I think Max H eadroom would look like the future of 1988 didn’t come true. But t hat e pisode, which I watched with my Dad and Grandma (everone watched that show) and the coke commercials are the only memo rable bits.

saw a youtube video debunking the “3rd” max/chicago incident today,  reminded me of Whacketts.

That’s funny how that works out.  They still don’t know who did it....but I’d like to meet them...

I feel like I’ m the only person who remembers and/or gets a kick out of Max. I still think he was a brilliant idea for the times.  I loved that show and wouldn’t mind watching all the episodes again.

would be interesting in a “past futures” kind of way.
