AUTOMAN 1980's T.V. show opening credits

[archer1949]

It seemed that there was a lotta big-haired, big boob blonde actresses named "Heather" on 80's TV shows.

The 80s, when TV shows had catchy themes you could remember!

[RollStell]

[RollStell]

Awsommmmme!!! nice, i remeber this tv series when i was 3 yrs old

[tutycat]

I used to love this so so much when I was a kid.. sometimes i skip school to watch it and sometimes ask mommy to watch it and tell me what happened.. it was aired at 10 am!!

[username121709]

The font used in the credits is the same as the one in Airwolf

[wackojim]

Wow that brought back some memories! Thanks for posting this!

[illuminatioracle]

0:04 the secret to why they call him automan

[jlew2013]

we were kids and could be entertained by anything

[jlew2013]

i was thinkin bout this show today and i also thought of it as a tron rip

[tasiax]

I was just thinking of this show when I watched the trailer for the new Sorcerers Apprentice I just couldn't remember the name of it. did search for cursor tv show and this poped up... wow I so remember this show

[retroguy1976]

what network did this air on???

[illuminatioracle]

automan. a man who functions automatically. holy crap what a great idea!

[guacareada]

hy, i was desperately searching for this tv show and finalyy found it yeah so excited, i will so buy this movie series

[educatedlime]

lol, the 80's ...wtf

[tcuk]

@educatedlime whatever, this was one of the most awsomest shows ever.

[ChildePC]

I couldnt remember the name of the guy but found it because of the cursor side kick.

[hilarioph]

I watch this on PTV 4 in the Philippines during the

days of Marcos

[merlinvwge]

one thing that really killed this show.. is that every episode they played the story intro.. like 5 mins long telling about who he was and how he came to be... and everyone thought it was the same episode so they changed the channel =(

It WAS a good show... especially for geeks like me.. Fond memories =)

[thehandsomedevils]

I thougt I was the only one remembering this series. Almost started to think it was only a dream

[vaarluukl]

@thehandsomedevils ...me too bud me too

[MrNORTHBAY707]

what a flash back i got when i found this.

[Laceykat66]

So AutoMan was made using a computer with a 20 MB hard drive and 16k of RAM???

Wow - Think of what I can make with my Widows Vista machine!!!!!

Thanks for the post. Loved the show them.

Love the memories now.

[Hotshotter3000]

The sound effects are typical early 80's ideas of sci-fi. still, that outfit is awesome!

[earcher5]

When I was in 2nd grade I never missed an episiode

[WomanJocker]

That was a Lamborgini without it's spoiler right?

[smldfw]

What did Cursor do? Did he just float around and drop F-bombs all the time?

[SeryiVolk2009]

Ah yes...with the car that made 90 degree turns!

[Barnstormer1969]

Last time I saw Chuck Wagner, he was a ringmaster for the Wringling Brothers Circus.

[Strideo1]

What is this? I don't . . .

[fatbaby73]

I can remember watching this show too, as a kid. I think I kinda liked it, but looking back on it now, yeah this show was really cheesy and real 80's based. but we all most grow up someday.

[utubedano]

i remember watching couple of these episodes as a kid... now its 'wtf was i thinking'... dumb ass concept!

[Spinducky]

I liked this show, EXCEPT the episode where automan is doing a striptease in a ladies club which kind of killed the "coolness" of the show for me. I Hope they fired the writer of that episode.

[AlwaysBuzzn650]

brought back some memories....That car had some serious handling...Thanks

[joebradio]

...I once saw an interview clip where the late Ernie Anderson loved to say AUUUTOMANNNN in promos as much as he did the THE LOOOOOVE BOAT !

[jakmanholla]

i remember Laura Brannigan R.I.P. IN AN EPISODE

[tokuanimecitvguy]

I don't exactly hate it but I don't exactly like it either judging by that clip. I thought it would be more tokusatsu-like being as the HJ guys liked it.

[ronfast]

i don't remember this either...

[pufferfishish]

I'm not surprised you don't remember it; it only ran for 13 episodes I think in the summer of 1984; never to be repeated. (in the UK)

[galileo2k6]

I've been trying to find this show for years. Couldn't remember the name. Loved it, hope they bring it out on DVD one day. Thanks for this!

[PhobiaGuy]

I remember it, cool effects, but the guy acting automan, dear God!

nuff said!

[swyke]

'Chuck Wagner' - what a fantastic name!?

[ranchai100]

This was a great show and the network idiots went a cancelled it

[KissJill]

Cursor...fuckin little prev

[SailorCallie]

Such as cool show. Both 'Automan' and 'Manimal.' It's a shame that both shows were short-lived. :(

[emce73]

I've been looking for this, I thought I might have dreamt it up! loved when the car turned the corner at 90 degrees with a guy in the passenger seat and it put him hard into the door! LOVED IT! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

[nappybiscuit]

LOL  yeah me too.

[HATRED53]

this was cool and got axed after i think 1 season so was manimal,and both shows are much better than 99 percent of the crap tv chucks at us now.bring back both shows or at least repeat them.

[6043815]

Compared to the junk on TV today, this was a masterpiece of innovation!

[RustiSwordz]

It was just a tron rip off.

[ou812scott]

cool show back then! Now watching it that I'm older? kinda weird

[techy87]

true, it was awesome...when I was 5, lol

[agenttorpor]

Cursor was representative of society's attempts to reconcile technological progress vs. stasis.

And Desi Arnaz Jr was just worthless.

[Starvin48]

WOW. Finally someone else who remembers this show. I seriously was beginning to think I dreamed it up as a kid since NOBODY I KNOW REMEMBERS!

[legendofsource]

Good Lord! Somebody saved this?! and Manimal too...ARRGGHHH

[FatherJudgement]

Man I forgot all about that show, I watched it.

[shubop9]

Loved this show as akid

[Gigastorm24]

I remember this show, I use to watch it too.

[hcronos]

best tv show in the '80.  love the theme song

[ssctone]

is this the same series where he can actually leave his body and be somewhere else?

[wasp27]

Kinda reminds me a bit of "The Wraith" with Charlie Sheen...what was the plot/story of this one?

[sweetpetebrown]

I would have totally forgot about this show. I remember that little cursor thing now! This really did happen.

[gargara]

molto bello!

[alliwantedwasaskate]

Ahah, friggin A! What a blast from the past!

[sisk08]

I agree I love this show, the should do a remake of it and break it back, I bet you it will be a hit. When I first saw this show I thought to myself I am going to college to study computer. And now til this day I am still a computer junkie, I support and repairt create webpage and programming. Thanks to automan. The show is the bomb, loved it.

BRING IT BACK DAMMIT!

[CTThorson]

I loved that show!! I think it was only on for one season. I remember I wanted to watch it because it looked like Tron. Man, I love the 80's!!!

[1now1later]

I loved this show, those were the times....

[mjtunstall1976]

i can remember the tv series and my fav funny part was the poor man who has to slam into the window whenever chuch turn at the corner of a street

[dodyknight]

yeah, really nostalgic. I want to see this show again...

[terrywtf]

i thought heather mcnair was hot. wonder whatever happened to her

[Binn0]

Someone bring the 80s back!

[Dozirulf]

YES! Automan rules!

[debsfan2007]

My parents got the whole series on DVD at a convention last christmas. I love this show, but I'm still only on Episode 9.

Thanks and write back,

Rachael

[NickNJoe]

I remember this. He had a little friend called "Cursor". I was so young then, I thought the computer cursor was named after the thing on this show!

[VideoJunkei]

The connection is obvious-this was 'inspired' by the movie Tron, out the previous year. Nice 'idea' guys;love the theme song!

[fromthesidelines]

I remember this short-lived series, too- it aired on ABC during the 1983-'84 season. Atypical Glen Larson production {note the pin-up of Heather Thomas from "THE FALL GUY", Larson's other ABC series, that "Cursor" ogles at}. Just a handful of episodes--and who remembers Chuck Wagner today?
