AUTOMAN (1983) ABC 13 episodes
TV super producer Glen A. Larson rips off TRON and flips the concept by bringing the ditigal hero into the Real World. A very likeable young cast (Chuck Wagner was born to play a superhero!) supported by many legendary tv veteran character actors, makes for entertaining televsion. A great looking series, amazing "digital" effects done analog-style, an amazing accomplishment considering the time it was made on a tv schedule. Automan was the most expensive series to date on the air that 1983-84 season. The dvd quality is decent, but again like MANIMAL, the interlacing is very evident at times. This a goofy lost gem that you can not help smile while watching. A worthy addition to any superhero fan's dvd collection.
