Do you guys remember him? if you do, awesome... if you don't... he's hard to explain so google him (or look him up on youtube). but even those that do remember him might not remember the show. the basic idea was a reporter, Edison Carter, got too close to the truth and they tried to kill him (the killers were not good at killing and Edison almost gets away but instead smacks his head on a sign that read "Max Headroom XX'XX")... now thought to be dying they need to find out wheather to keep him alive or kill him cause he knows too much... so a computer genius translates Edison's mind into binary code and Max Headroom is born. They find out Edison knows too much and decides to not bring him to the hospital and erase Max... Max escapes and Edison recovers and they become a team (or something close to that) Well I was just watching his show and I was thinking if he came out now, Max would be a super hero... he could zip here and there in the speed of light... or at least the speed of information... can you imagine the concept of the show with modern internet capabilities?... I don't know maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic. LOL

I remember watching that show along with China Beach, Alien Nation, Wings, Silver Spoons, Who's The Boss, Cheers (the original cast), and so many other shows...

I remember it very well. If you like this, you should watch the Ghost in the Shell series.

Never heard of it but reading your description makes me wonder if the game Master Reboot was influenced by it in a weird way.

I really like the pop commercials for this. I never heard of the tv show at the time but wanted to see more of him.
I watched this david letterman interview and wow, it really looks like Jim Carry ripped him off. He makes the same kinda facial movements, talks the same sometimes.
Here's the video.

Saw some episodes and liked what I saw, but I didn't see a lot (thanks to the internet mind you, since the show was never broadcasted in Mexico to my knowledge), but now almost everybody remembers him, albeit for the wrong reasons: The Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion from 1987. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion
