Max Headroom is a satirical science fiction television series that was produced in the United States by Chrysalis Visual Programming and Lakeside Productions for Lorimar-Telepictures and broadcast on ABC in the United States from March 1987 until May 1988. The series was produced in the United Kingdom. The series was based on the British television pilot Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future, which was produced by Chrysalis and broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. The series is frequently misidentified as an American production due to the fact that it is set in the United States and features an almost exclusively American cast. Furthermore, it is shown in the United States on the ABC network. Following the airing of the UK pilot on Cinemax, the network began airing highlights from The Max Headroom Show for a run of six weeks. The Max Headroom Show is a music video show in which Headroom appears between different music videos. Chrysalis and Lakeside were approached to develop the series for US viewers when ABC expressed interest in the pilot and requested it. The production of the show began in the end of 1986, and the first season consisted of a total of six episodes, while the second season had a total of eight episodes.
