Max Headroom
originally aired on Cinemax
Max Headroom was created by George Stone, Annabel Jankel, and Rocky Morton. He was advertised as "computer-generated" and some believed this, but he was actually actor Frewer wearing prosthetic makeup, contact lenses, and a plastic moulded suit, and sitting in front of a blue screen. Max's personality was meant to be a satirical exaggeration of the worst tendencies of television hosts in the 1980s who wanted to appeal to youth.
