Let's just say I started thinking about the mental and physical capabilities of advertising and how dangerous and pervasive it can become. And I still remember the first scene and how it affected me so deeply, along with the rest of the episode. If anyone remembers, it was the "Zik Zak Commercial" episode. One of the greatest episodes of ANY show I've ever seen was on this show. It was bizzare, funny, intelligent, frightening, controversial, and socially and politically aware. I STILL remember watching this show as a budding 11-year-old artist and saying to myself, "this show is important." And I still believe it. I believe it may have stayed around much longer if it wasn't so linked with the Max Headroom character. And I don't think it is an exaggeration at all to say that it was one of the best shows of the 1980's. I know it is very cliche to say this, but this show WAS truly ahead of its time. Everytime I see Matt Frewer (he's on the show "Eureka" now!) I always think back to that groundbreaking show, "Max Headroom."
