Well, that's a bit of a surprise! Last time we saw Max Headroom, he was being wheeled around Canada on a CRT, complaining of backpain. (No, really, they brought him back thirty years later for a skit on YouTube.)

"Remember when we said there was no future? Well, this is it."

Max Headroom defies expectations. The iconic '80s television sensation started out as the host of a British music video showcase, but quickly rose to fame through his trailblazing advertising campaigns for New Coke. His popularity led to a British TV movie, which in turn paved the way for his own prime-time series on ABC in 1987. The show's premise is a thrilling blend of sci-fi, satire, and comedy, with a dash of Blade Runner and Network thrown in for good measure. Despite its innovative nature, Max Headroom struggled to find an audience during its initial run, with only 14 episodes produced before it was cancelled. However, the show's impact has only grown over time, with its pop culture cachet earning it a spot on the cover of Newsweek and being parodied in Doonesbury. Today, society has finally caught up to the show that was ahead of its time, making it a must-see for fans of dystopian fiction and cyberpunk.
