Max Headroom, Actor, Pitchman-man-man and Talk Show Host?
by Danny Gallagher, posted Mar 2nd 2010 9:00PM
The 80's pop icon, Max Headroom, whose show is coming back on DVD, was more than just the basis for a hyper cult tech-drama and a shill for New Coke. He wore many big shoes, even though he had no feet, one can assume. He figuratively and literally was a talking head.
Max Headroom, who always reminded me of a young Christopher Titus immortalized in claymation, hosted several talk shows for the BBC and got his own taste of the late night dynasty on Cinemax with 'The Original Max Talking Headroom Show,' a cyberpunkish gab fest hosted by actor Matt Frewer as the digital stutterer.
Here's a hilarious sit down with William Shatner that's hilarious for two reasons: (1) the brilliant, improvised jabs they take with and at each other are themselves hilarious and (2) they are both such animated characters that it's actually hard to tell the two apart.

Entire 'Larry Sanders Show' Coming to DVD

It always seemed strange to me that the first season of HBO's 'The Larry Sanders Show' is the only season to get a full DVD release. Sure the first season DVD didn't have the best quality and the "Not Just the Best of" box set released some of the show's better episodes, but every episode deserves to be watched, shared and re-watched until the veneer of the DVD is worn away into dust.
Shout! Factory will correct this travesty of home entertainment by releasing a complete box set of the Garry Shandling series.

Devil's Wedding Night
The single discs will be only $9.98, and the double discs only $14.98!
