‘Max Headroom’ was a popular TV series in its limited 1987-1988 run on ABC-TV.
The character ‘Max’ was born when a fictitious TV network reporter had a near-death encounter in pursuit of a story.
Racing on a motorcycle into a parking garage on the trail of a hot lead he smashed into and was knocked unconscious by an automated entrance gate that was emblazoned with the warning ‘Maximum Headroom.
’ That phrase was indelibly registered in the reporter’s mind.
During his long recovery the TV network scanned his brain into a computer to learn what he might have discovered in his investigation.
On-Air he was forever randomly popping up in each televised episode with pearls of wit and wisdom, delivered in his trademark computer-to-blame stutter, often aggravating friends and foes alike, but still a generally likeable character
once viewers got to know him.
