Our old pal Max Headroom is back in the video mix via AOL, which has posted full episodes of the jarring 1987 TV series. No DVD evidence of Max's existence is out there, so it's broadband or ziltch. (Amazon has a product page on the original telefilm "Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into the Future," ETA unknown.) The series, about a reporter who morphs into a wise-ass computer-generated TV host, started on Britain's Channel 5 and resurfaced on ABC, where it sputtered about for a season or so. Max later found work in the blipvert industry pitching Coca-Cola, sadly. Here's the download page -- sorry, no Mac or Vista 64 users (too futuristic).
