Max Headroom and intro to the series.

[ftheworlds]

Why does Max Headroom have legs? Answer : Old Punks.

[Sypaka]

I hate nothing more then virtual Persona with glitched eyes, always makes me creep out.

[HelgeSalzburg]

Is one of my alltime-fav TV serie! :-)

[evilunixuser1]

Amanda Pays was pretty hot looking for a typical 80s babe

[fuzzeledwuzzeled]

I hate to say that I remember max but virtually nothing from the show. I wonder if I can find it on Netflix.

[almostacowboy77]

Amanda Pays.

[davidls11]

One of the most underrated sci fi shows ever.

[Belailyo]

why is there a big 23 on the tower?

[MrUnidyne]

@Belailyo One of the major communication companies in the show was "Network 23".

[TheRaven2016]

holy shit jim carey looks and sounds like this guy in "the Mask"

[donniedarkodevotte]

I remember watching this show when I was 9 or 10. I never could figure out what was going on, but I loved Max Headroom and Matt Frewer is the man! I think it came on ABC, right? It seemed like ABC was the top network for shows like this.

[moternm5]

@donniedarkodevotte HBO I believe, or maybe Cinemax.

[donniedarkodevotte]

@moternm5

I'm pretty sure it was ABC. We didn't even have cable, let alone a premium channel, when I was a kid. Not to mention HBO and Cinemax only showed movies then. 

[moternm5]

@donniedarkodevotte I just looked it up. and the original Max Headroom was on Cinemax, the later was probably syndicated for ABC, although Wikipedia doesn't mention it, you are most likely right.

[brcher]

i dont know which came first but if anyone has ever seen red dwarf from the uk, max is very much like kryton on that show. i used to watch this show & i am a big red dwarf fan but never noticed it til now :)

[AutomanZ]

Matt is in Eureka now as the mad hunter guy!! bring back Max!

[joecoyote42]

Hurray Max Headroom 

[JacuzziBooty]

Chris Young is a porn star now.

[art101tv]

Visionary stuff. Welcome to the future (via the past).

[irenaprude2010]

I remember this being a bizarre TV series.

[venuecam]

If they could do sooo much with makeup in the 80s why is Hollywood GCI so crappy today?

[kozinc]

Why does Max remind me of Jim Carrey?

[sickcartoons]

@kozinc because Jim Carrey stole from this man. The guy that does Max Headroom is Matt Frewer.

[orchote]

@kozinc because you suck.

[Stroddler]

that looks more like the intro to the film version - music was writted/performed by Midge Ure.

Matt Frewer plays TV reporter "Edison Carter" who has an accident and the last thing he sees is a sign in a car park "Max Headroom" - this is his electronic alter ego.

The TV series was more Max Headroom and music videos.

[TH15N4M315UN4V41L4BL]

@Stroddler No, this vid is the intro to the US TV series - the UK movie ended with the old punk ending up with Max, and the series had him stay with network 23 - what you're thnkin of was the other shows he did where he interviewd Boy George and Sting and stuff like a UK MTV. Coke ads too.

[bigdaddylou77]

"You are a nut case. And I'll tell you something, I have got an air hammer in my attic and if you did do something to my kids, there's gonna be pieces of you all over the neighborhood!" ;)

[187SicknesS]

lol, its the neighbors dad from honey i shrunk the kids.

[neocool12]

musique non stop , techno pop ! ...

[fordude60]

I used to watch this show every week when it was on ABC.

[Xtrov]

OMG Jeffrey Tambor looks so funny. I hardly recognized him.

[rosco2903]

The DVD is finally coming out. AT LAST! Will it be available in the UK? Wheres the Max website

[drnapls2]

I wish they would release this on DVD.....

[JohnyBombel2008]

[WinterFuknMute665]

[CiJeay02]

[mauimudpup]

5 minutes into the future.

[Robstailey]

god damn im glad i wasnt around for the 80's

[collo282]

I'm glad you were not around in the eighties as well!

[1acroyear1]

Yeah. Too bad you couldn't have just stayed wherever you were forever.

[deadisastaeofmind]

i saw this on i love the 80's i dont get it whats this show about

[supermantahoo]

You do!

That is what its about!

NOT GETTING IT!

[MrWombatPPC]

Still Love this show even today. Amazing to think that all the GFX's were done on the old Commodore Amiga's. Such a cool Machine back in its day. Real shame there aint an equivalent system these days.

[lupusyon2k]

@MrWombatPPC were they?! I used to have one and I didn't know... that was a great machine, I agree, no fancy shmancy state-of-the-art mac could compare

[MrWombatPPC]

Yes indeed they were. You can even check this fack out by watching the end creadits of the series shows. it states, Graphics by Commodore Business Machines, Amiga Division.

[nutherefurlong]

Amiga's been behind some pretty cool effects over the years. As a kid I just assumed Max himself was somehow CG or a composite, but turns out it was just poor Matt Frewer in makeup :) Looking forward to the DVDs this August :)

[fatriani]

oh man, seeing jeffrey tambor gets me everytime

[lordkamper]

I second that

[Modeltrainguy]

I LOVED this Series! It was worth staying home for!

5 Stars!

[THYCHANIE]

Funny....i used to get Matt Frewer confused with Dwight Schultz of the A-Team/and Star Trek the Next Generation and other Star Trek spin offs....they look like the could almost past for brothers....

[CorporalDanLives]

It's not an 80s intro without the hero punching somebody in the face!

[stonecoldlinz]

Yeah, true... thats why the 80s ve been so cool! ;-)

[ravepuppie]

Or a car flipping from a minor collision. Unbelted passengers ALWAYS walked away unscathed! And the A-Team, WTF? How many shots were fired in the typical show and they never hit ANYBODY??

[logik316]

@CorporalDanLives

That might be why Miami Vice beat out Max in the ratings department.
