Who remembers Max Headrome?

It was Max Headroom. A guy was killed by hitting his head on a low sign that said "max. headroom". They recorded his mind and made him a CGI guy. The actor was Matt Frewer, a Canadian. They did Coke commercials and had a short TV show. Cool you remember.

Do you mean Max Headroom?

He was a talk show host on cinemax, then he got a series on ABC in 1987. There has never been another show that was this good that was cancelled so quickly. Do you remember when the TV network he worked for was going bankrupt? A competing network was stealing their audience. They had a new format where they showed re-runs of the most boring programming they could get their hands on. It was a big hit with insomniacs, they called it VIEW-DOZE.

Max Headroom is a computer-generated personality who exists only within a television network's mainframe computer, over which he has almost total control and the ability to see and access almost anything within range of a TV set tuned to his channel. He consists of the slightly scrambled memories and personality of television news reporter Edison Carter and a sophisticated replication program developed by Network 23's teenaged technical genius, Bryce Lynch.

He was created after Carter was knocked unconscious in a motorcycle accident, striking his head on an underground garage exit gate labeled "MAX HEADROOM 2.3m." (Such warnings are common in the UK. In the US, it would probably be phrased "Max Clearance.") The storyline of the telefilm and the US series pilot diverge slightly, but in both it was crucial to have access to Carter's memories before he came out of his coma.

Bryce uses his newly developed mental replication process to make an artificial version of Carter. In the telefilm, he promises that the construct will be able to pass for Carter on television; in the pilot, he claims it will be able to answer questions. He is wrong in both cases.

The construct awakens with all of Carter's memories, but in scrambled form. All he can remember at first is the last thing Carter saw, "Max Headroom." He soon discovers that he has the ability to learn and, in the pilot and series, has almost total control over Network 23's critical control systems. Except for the fact that he can only exist inside television - literally and figuratively - Max Headroom is a genie with awesome cosmic powers. And a wicked sense of humor.
