At the time I did, I use to own a Max Headroom t-shirt. I liked the parody on the David Letterman show - Larry Bud Headroom.

What ever did happen to Bud Melman (Larry??) on Letterman? He was one of the best things about Letterman, I loved it when he was involved in anything. He could make you laugh without even saying a word. He seemed fairly old, did he pass on and I just neve

I have all the Max Headroom eps on tape. It was truly a show ahead of its time.

I've seen "20 Minutes Into The Future" (the British pilot) and I have "Whackets" on tape somewhere.

I saw Larry "Bud" Melman do a live stand-up act in about 1986. He did his entire routine off of cue cards. It was Brilliant!

I was obsessed with Max Headroom in 1986. I had t-shirts, figures, books, cups, videos, and of course, the Art Of Noise single "Paranoimia."

I remember the hype over Max and a bunch of my friends watched it and thought it sucked, and even one of my die hard Art Of Noise friends hated the Paranomia song.

BIG Max Headroom fan! When oh when will it be out on DVD?

I have his Christmas 45 "Merry Christmas, Santa Claus." I've never found this song on CD. Anybody?

Whenever I hear The Art Of Noise, I always think of Max Headroom.
Just burned into my braincells I guess.
Maybe that's what he intended all along...[:p]

Anytime I see Matt Frewer in a movie or T.V. show I can't help but think to myself "That's Max Headroom!".

Anyone else remember how Max was pitched as completely computer generated? What a crock! Even at 13 I did'nt buy it.
