![]() The thing that separates this show from all the others is that it's very subversive. The shows are fairly episodic, with Edison chasing down a story with Max providing periodic comic relief. In a compromise Network 23 gives Max his own show with the understanding that he doesn't interrupt broadcasting otherwise. Max is able to 'see' people that are watching him on TV and can even broadcast himself whenever he wants to. He can't be removed without shutting down the whole station and the board will never let that happen. The simulation takes his name from the first image he remembers, the Max Headroom sign.Įdison makes a full recovery and Max manages to integrate himself throughout the Channel 23 computer. Running the pattern through a program creates a virtual version of Edison, though one with his brain partially scrambled. In a coma and dying, Edison's brain pattern is scanned into the mainframe computer at Channel 23 by the local whiz-kid Bryce (Chris Young) in an attempt to discern what information Carter had learned. Unfortunately a ramp is raised at just the wrong time and Carter is thrown through the air where he hits his head on a sign warning of "Max Headroom." While on a particularly hot story Carter is chased by a gang of thugs and tries to escape on a motorcycle.
