What old tv shows would you like to see revived or rebooted?

Good question. I think Matt is too old for the gig, but it will take someone very special to replace him. He can be both drolly comic and seriously dramatic. “Fifteen minutes into the future”? Max Headroom resonates with the digital platform and look-at-me media realities of 2022 than it ever did originally.

Let me rephrase that. Max Headroom would find a much bigger audience today than it did on its first run. The tech that seemed unrealistic back then is common today. I believe it lasted 1 season, in a TV environment where it was considered a freak. We had 3 networks and some cable and satellite, not at all like today when we have so many providers that a niche show can find its true audience and thrive.

Remember, this show grew out of a SOFT DRINK COMMERCIAL. I think it was Pepsi who based an ad campaign on the AI Max, which is pretty amazing. His CGI was made deliberately buggy. The show addressed issues like cyberpunk Blank Reg living off the grid and the relationships between humans and AI. And it was FUNNY. I would be AMAZED to see this show unleaded in the opportunities of 2022.

If anyone has any casting ideas, have at. Before you mention Jim Carrey as Max: he’s too old.

So it is. But it's only on Netflix?
