The quick failure of the series is no surprise, given the time in which it debuted. I would imagine, however, that most Americans remember Max more for his “Catch the Wave” New Coke commercials than for the British-made Max Talking Headroom Show (where the character originated) and telefilm 20 Minutes into the Future, or the American weekly series that adapted 20 Minutes as its pilot and lasted a mere 11 episodes. Max Headroom was the third television program to feature the bizarre-looking, wise-cracking, supposedly computer-generated character, who was not actually CG at all, but was rather played by the actor Matt Frewer while wearing foam make-up appliances all over his head and a rigid fiberglass suit. You gotta be what you are, right? Just watch the clip: You probably all saw this coming after yesterday’s entry, right? Sometimes I am so predictable… Oh, well.
