  1. Max q.. that’s what they call him on SpaceX…headroom, and I’m from the 60’s teenager years…

    • Additional extra points if you remember the wackjob in Chicagoland who did it to a pair of broadcast tv stations.

  2. Max Headroom. MTV I heard shut down recently. No big loss, it had gone to shit programming.

    Senior year spring of highschool I was out of class at 11:30 but had to go back for baseball practice. It was 1981, MTV and ESPN started broadcasting. I went home for lunch and watched either some badass europeon music videos because the Americans had not made many yet, or some badass Florida college baseball.

    • To me, the ironic part of this show is that it was meant to be prescient: “Max Headroom: 20 minutes into the future”, yet it sort of is. The premise was that the networks would take over the government in shaping opinion and law. Sound familiar? I think even FJB was sort of glitchy, too.
