Automan: Automan (1983)
Automan??? I thought it WAS dream!
Automan....
Hmm, the nostalgia buzz that surrounds us now would really be the main selling point of this DVD, as the original really sucked. Actually, I watched it back in '83 when it came out, and probably enjoyed it hugely then, but the show hasn't travelled well - unlike "Magnum", for instance.
Yes I can remember the wee cursor thingy that drew the car and followed Automan and Desi Jr around, and yep, the car was fairly fab, although even at the time you could see it was some kind of sports car with reflective blue lines drawn on it! It DID copy/page homage to "Tron", and unashamedly so, but that's what cashing in is all about, I suppose.
Oh well, If I ever see it on sale on DVD I might be tempted to buy it, for old time's sake, and just to remind me of the days spent watching this kind of tosh in my distant youth. As a post-script, it was less insipid than "Knight Rider" or "Airwolf".
Happy reminiscing people!!
