The inaccuracies in your article have already been covered, so I won't go there.

I'll definitely be pre-ordering this as soon as it becomes available.

As far as extras, I'm hoping for at least the original British telefilm and the recent Channel 4 PSAs for digital rollover. Of course, I'll take whatever I can get.

I am glad this show is finally coming out on DVD. Can't wait to see what the extras will be. Already put myself on the wait list on Amazon.

Great timing, my tapes are getting worn out!

Now if they would only bring Frewer's other memorable series, the late, great "Doctor, Doctor" to DVD . . . that would really get me excited. Still furious at CBS for canceling one of the funniest shows of all time.

All the corrections are accurate. Also, it wasn't just A cyberpunk series, it is, to this date, the only true cyberpunk series to air on television - which alone demands a little more respect than conflation with a lame short-run talk show based on the same character. It was also a remarkably prescient scifi show, and now that we're living, "twenty minutes into the future" it looks even more so. Replace the "tv networks" with a vision of a corporate controlled web and it plays uncomfortably true to life. One of the final episodes, with copyright stormtroopers breaking down doors of folks trying to use copied materials to teach poor children unable to pay the school content fees remains quite chilling - it also makes you wonder what took so long to release, when far lesser, shorter run shows have already been put out there.

Oh - and Amanda Pays was absolutely smoking

Clarification: There were several shows that starred Max. What you saw on Cinemax was a talk show that originated in England. Max (played by Frewer) was the host.

The BBC also did a TV movie with Max: Twenty Minutes Into the Future. This was the cyberpunk story you write about. This was also what the US pilot of the series was mostly based on. The series ran on ABC, and I loved every minute of it. :)
