Am I the only one to feel like an idiot for not knowing Max Headroom was not an animation. I haven't seen the show since I was young, but now I just want to go find an episode to watch and look at the animation to see how they fooled my younger me.
I remember thinking I wasn't sue but how else. That's also why tv shows you watched when young where better than you remember, you could be fooled more easily and use your imagination whereas today were so use to the special effects that we almost need them, we can't easily imagine it unless its there and looking real'ish.
- sixothree 13y agoI remember the exact same confusion. But the backgrounds are computer animated, with Max himself (Matt Fewer) was a real person with plastic appendages to his head.
- js2 13y agoWell, I feel like an idiot for not knowing it was a British production.

- m0nty 13y agoI'm just pleased I'm not the only one here who remembers when this stuff came out. I also had no idea it wasn't computer animated, but (given the feebleness of the hardware available at the time) it comes as no great surprise.
- harel 13y agoI'm shocked it's a fake-nimation... As a kid I loved Max and was amazed what the highest end computers can do. I was patiently waiting for that tech to trickle down to us mortal consumers. Of course I only got that when I became 'grown up' and now I learned it was all fake to begin with... Glad I found out now though, and not back then. I even remember, as an Amiga owner at the time, of a word circulating in Amiga circles (way way pre-internet) that Max is created using Amigas.... Silly me.
