Product Information

The somewhat cloudy origin of Max is brought to light in this home video feature which captures the "creation" of the offbeat, arrogant and decidedly obnoxious computer generated talk show host.

This isn't some mindless Pap, this is high quality.
In the post-apocalyptic future where television sets are more important than food, TV ratings are the all important currency of the nation. A new technique of preventing viewers from channel surfing proves somewhat detrimental to particularly sedentary couch potatoes. The top studio becomes concerned: dead viewers make for low ratings. Edison Carter, top news reporter, is sent to find out more. After a motorcycle accident, his mind is preserved by wizz-kid Bryce and becomes his wise cracking, computer generated alter-ego: Max Headroom, who manages to boost ratings above those of any live hosts to date.

This made for TV movie was later remade (sanitized version) as the first episode of the series. Not Mindless Pap Which is, unfortunately, mostly what succeeds on TV these days. Shows such as Max Headroom are just too intelligent, and go over the head of Average Joe TV Viewer (or Average Joe TV Executive). With all the proliferation and specialization of TV channels these days, maybe some day we can have an "Intelligent TV Channel" where shows like these can flourish and those too dim to "get it" can just remove it from their channel rotation. Max Headroom was brilliant. One of the most spot-on and funny pieces of satire ever produced. The fact that it was satirizing the very medium that produced it probably had something to do with its short life, as well. I mean, when you're satirizing stupidity, obviously stupidity is going to react, just by definition. Any TV producers out there reading this -- there's an idea for you. Create an "Intelligent TV Channel", and give us shows like this, or Key West, Brimstone, Cupid, etc. You could even call it that, as a dig at the mindless drivel that pours off the screen most of the time. 23 minutes into the future, the world has become imbued network-television. It's illegal to turn off your tv, and televisions are given to the needy. In this world, Network 23 has a highly-rated news program with a roving reporter named Edison Carter. But Carter gets caught in an experiment to create a computer-generated personality, and "Max Headroom" is born. Together, Max and Edison, along with Edison's controller (Theora), their boss (Murray), their boss' boss (Ben Cheviot), and Network 23's boy-genius (Bryce) combat crime, placate sponsors, defeat rival networks, and turn in stories. 14 episodes.

Max Headroom vs. Media Machine
A true 80's classic, the movie that launched the short lived TV series, serves as a delightful jab at modern journalism. Born during the same epoc as the 24 hr news cycle, CNN et al, MH comes to rule the airwaves through a series of unfortunate events. With razor like British wit, the creators have made a comedy that is one part Brazil, one part Network with a dash of bizzaria ( Adam Ant ) thrown in. Watch out for the blitverts coming to a screen near you.A true 80's classic, the movie that launched the short lived TV series, serves as a delightful jab at modern journalism.

video a not perfectly sharp but overall very satisfying. It looked like a copy and not the original like I was expecting, but perhaps that was the quality back in the day
