Max Headroom, one of the best 80's tv series (despite only lasting 14 episodes) finally gets an official DVD release. Max had been used as both talk show host (Cinemax) and Coca-Cola spokes person, but it was the ABC cult series that solidified him as a pop culture ICON of the 80's. The DVD set also includes the original British TV movie that inspired the series. The series centered around a future world where all of the poor to middle class were addicted to television like it was crack. Matt Frewer played both Edison Carter, who would stop at nothing to expose the evil television/government/marketing companies using television for they're own gain, and his alter ego with a big mouth Max Headroom. Sci-fi with socio-political relevance and humor. Let the nerdgasm begin.
