This episode may be where I heard "Hot Night" for the first time. I don't know why the tune has fallen into obscurity; I remember it as enormously overplayed.
Never heard of this show until now after looking for some Laura Branigan live clips. Very 80's idea for a show too. There were tons of shows like this back then. Usually no more than 12 episodes, then you never see it again.
Also HOT NIGHT was a good dance/80's pop tune. The song should be played at every 80's Music night...
Muchas gracias por subir este material, aunque no me crean yo estaba muy peque cuando veia esta serie y ese capitulo en especial se me quedo grabado por la cancion, se quedo en mi memoria y de vez en cuando sonaba en mi mente, es increible que lo haya encontrado no es casualidad que las ideas, memorias y momentos concuerden con otras personas, gracias
Wow i remember when i wathed this episod of Automan it was the first time i heard Laura..I loved here since that day...I never get tired of listening to here remarceble voice...I miss here singing and i hope God has made hare the head singer of the coir in heaven...Love you Laura och i miss you
It's amazing to find so many Automan fans on the web. I was 2 when this came out, but I saw the program Automan rerunning on the Scifi Channel long ago and IMMEDIATELY LOVED Automan! Now I'm a true (hopefully lifelong) fan of this fabulous but short lived series. Wally, Automan, and Cursor are now 3 of my most beloved crushes.
Wow, I remember watching this as a child in the 80s. I even taped this episode back in the day - lol Here's some trivia: the black backup singer with Laura Branigan is Ola Ray who starred opposite of Michael Jackson in the Thriller music video. Also the valet on 6:10 -- that's a young Miguel Nunez Jr.!
I grew up in the 80s and thought she was so gorgous! Gloria and Self Control was a huge part of the 80s as well my childhood. I cried when I learned she is gone. I bet she is on heavens stage singing Gloria and all the Angels are rocking out! I can't wait to join that party!!!!
Damn, this shows its age! Those 80s! However, it is still fun to watch.
It's too bad Laura Branigan died so young and so pretty. She was so sweet. I hope all her albums will be digitally remastered and reissued with extra songs.
I remember this show. It wasn't SUPPOSED to be funny, but it was like watching "Police Squad". I like the fact that they assumed the audience was retarded and wouldn't catch the fact that she sang her first song with no band, but then they have a problem because their guitar player cancelled. God this is funny. Man, Hollywood did a LOT of cocaine in the '80's.
Chuck "Automan" Wagner is now part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Baily Circus as part of their new show. Look up Chuck Wagner on the net and go to his webpage for more details.
I never heard of this show "Automan". The song "Hot Night" was ....well...HOT! Why isn't it on any of my Laura Branigan records? I thought that I had them all? Thanks for posting this up here! Awesome!
I don't know why Hot Night was ever released, te only place you can by it now is on the Ghostbusters soundtrack. I get the impression that Laura would have done better if the record companys didn't interfere.
I ended up downloading the Ghostbusters soundtrack from iTunes, because, of course, you have to download the entire set, just to get the Laura Branigan song. I really like Hot Night. It is one of her best.
R.I.P.
