MAX HEADROOM
|
||
|
||
03/31/87
|
||
Debut: In the near future, when TVs can't be shut off and ratings are all that
|
||
matter, investigative reporter Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) and his computer-
|
||
generated alter ego Max Headroom battle to keep the "blank" generation
|
||
informed. In the opener, Carter stumbles across his own network's cover-up of
|
||
a sometimes deadly new form of TV advertising called "blipverts". Bryce: Chris
|
||
Young. Theora: Amanda Pays. Murray: Jeffrey Tambor. Grossberg...Charles
|
||
Rocket, Gorrister...Ken Swofford, Florence...Billie Byrd, Ms Formby...Virginia
|
||

|
||
competing in a brutal sport that promoters want legalized and televised.

|
||
"body bank" for experimentation. Meanwhile, Network 23's largest sponsor
|
||
wants Max as spokesman. Cheviot: George Coe. Formby...Virginia Kiser, Blank
|

|
||
hostile takeover of Security Systems, the world's most powerful corporation.

||
04/28/87
|
||
Network 23 finds that the fine line between news and entertainment may very
|
||
well be the bottom line. Dancing on that line is Braddock, a double dealing
|
||
program packager who offers to sell Network 23 the exclusive rights to cover an
|
||
urban-guerilla group's terrorist activities during a crucial 24-hour global
|
||
ratings-sweep period. The network turns Braddock's offer down, but a smaller
|
||
rival accepts.Broadcasting from a terrorist bombing site, its ratings soar --
|
||
as Network 23's plummet. Barred from that site is Network 23 ace reporter
|
||
Edison Carter, to the annoyance of some Network 23 board members. But network
|
||
head Ben Cheviot knows Braddock's reputation and assigns Carter to investigate.
|
||
Braddock: Gary Swenson. Croyd Hauser: Robert O'Reilly. Janie Crane: Lisa
|
||
Niemi. Lucian: J Michael Flynn.
|
||
|
||
05/05/87
|
||
As the "blanks" -- undesirables with no computer records -- are rounded up and
|
||
arrested, the networks face permanent cancellation by hackers who threaten to
|
||
crash the city's entire computer system if their companions aren't released.
|
||
Peller...Howard Sherman, Bruno...Peter Crook, Ashwell...Hank Garret, Blank Reg
|
||
...Morgan Sheppard, Dominique...Concetta Tomei.

MAX HEADROOM Episode Guide
|
||
|
||
|
||
Titles for first season episodes come from the Japanese laserdiscs; for the
|
||
second season, from THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TV SCIENCE FICTION (London: Boxtree,
|
||
1990). I've seen alternate titles for a couple of episodes listed elsewhere,
|
||
and these are included in brackets. Broadcast dates are for first US airing,
|
||
except for the original pilot film, for which the date given is the first UK
|
||
broadcast date. The 14th episode was never broadcast in the US, but has been
|
||
shown in foreign markets. The first episode is essentially a remake of the
|
||
original pilot film. At the end are the titles for three episodes that never
|
||
made it past the script stage. These are to my knowledge the only unproduced
|
||
episodes that have been accounted for.
