Watching the original British Max Headroom pilot.

I am reminded how prescient the series was.

1. I was a writer's assistant on the US series..... it was rather amazing.

And it was indeed prophetic.

5. ohmygawd I forgot there were 2 seasons.. I was on the last season

not the first. I was thinking it had only lasted 1 season... but now I remember I got the job because I had seen the first season, loved it, and wrote them a letter telling them I wanted to work on the show. I had just been working at Todd-AO/Glen Glenn for the previous 2 years.

The prop master was very cool. He made me some fun stuff that I kept for ages, but it all finally disappeared as I moved. That show was good for goodies and swag.

Chris had a huge crush on me, it was so cute.

And it sure is a small world, isn't it? It's so strange how prophet it was... 20 years ago.
