Back on TV: Max Headroom

Posted by chrisd on from the talkin-bout-my-g-g-g-generation dept.

infofreako writes: " Everyone's favorite 80's construct, Max Headroom, has returned thanks to the people at TechTV. According to their website, they will be rebroadcasting all 14 episodes starting this Friday! This series was doing ethics themes based on designer babies, corporate controlled media, brain scanning and more before some of us were capable of hitting record on the old VCR. "

    I saw the story, and had to check with my Tivo. It had already seen the show in the listings and was ready to record as per standing orders.

    Even had /. not covered this, the Tivo would have recorded it. That's the difference between a VCR and a Tivo.

    BTW, since chrisd didn't spoil it, I will - Edison doesn't die....

    It's not all overt.
    Consider that subliminal ads are
    Really just as, if not more, effective
    Over a period of time.
    Surely
    One should look out
    For any sort of subliminal advertising
    Thesedays.

    Transformers are back and as popular as ever, along with G.I. Joe and a new, improved line of Masters of the Universe figures. Ahh, my childhood is "cool" once again.
