Yeah. I never watched the original and didn't know him from anything else, but I loved his character on the new one.

Cool for your brother. I haven't managed to meet any celebs. I would love too. Oh maybe one day. Close as I have come is having talked to Adam Baldwin on the OB for Firefly and getting messages from celebrity Chef Robert Irvine and Paul McGillion on a tv movie that he did and was filmed up here. :)

---

Yeah, my bro has all sorts of stories of his celebrity meet ups. Usually D listers or used-to-bes. He went to one of those fancy movie theaters that serve food and drinks and frequently have cast reunions for old movies for Caddyshack once and ended up talking quite a bit with Cindy Morgan, who played Chevy Chase's love interest in the movie. I guess she couldn't stand him and still carries a grudge about it. I can't remember what she wrote beneath it, but as well as signing her own signature on his Caddyshack photo, she also signed Chevy's name on it and put something like "would have loved to meet you, but I'm too important". lol

What I remember most about "War of the Worlds" was being upset when they lost Richard Chaves character of Colonel Paul Ironhorse. I wasn't impressed with Adrian Paul then.
Funny thing about "War of the Worlds" is that Philip Akin and Adrian Paul both went on to star in "Highlander" the tv series and that was filmed in Vancouver for a lot of its run.

---

Yeah. Ironhorse dying sucked. I didn't even remember Adrian Paul was in the 2nd season until I rewatched it almost 20 years after it aired. I thought he did alright for a side character, but he was no Highlander yet. ;)

I liked Max Headroom when it ran. Just quirky enough for me back then.

---

I'm afraid that it's going to be a little too campy for me when I rewatch it all these years later, but the youtube video made it seem really good. Matt Frewer was perfect as Max Headroom. They'd have to find somebody really special to fill those shoes if they wanted to reboot it or it would never take off. I wasn't aware of the history of Max before the Show. I thought it had started there. It was actually a big thing in the UK first and he even hosted a variety show for a year or two before he came to the states.

"You Can't Do That on Television", I think I have seen for sale on DVDs. Don't think I ever watched it unless I caught the end of it waiting for another show to come on.

---

It's been years since I looked for it. Maybe they finally managed to negotiate a release. I hear because Canadian laws were a lot more friendly to the actors and writers to shows, at least back then, that a lot of people would have to be paid a pretty decent amount if it ever got released.

I was pretty young when it was on. Maybe 5-7 years old. All I really remember were the scenes where they told jokes from inside of their lockers in a "Laugh In" style, and Barth the disgusting school chef that would grumble "I heard that" whenever one of the kids would talk about how gross he was. It was where the Nickelodeon slime started. Alanis Morsette was on it too, and I believe her song "Jagged Little Pill" was about Dave Colier (Uncle Joey on Full House). I'm assuming they met while she was doing that show and he was doing "Out of Control".

It would probably be pretty terrible to watch today, but I've always wanted to at least watch a few episodes again.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I watched the original and of course I grew up watching Lorne Greene on "Bonanza". So I was familiar with at least 1 actor on the show. Richard Hatch did do a tv movie once with Bruce Davison and they played Jan and Dean, a 60s beach music group. Only time I've caught pieces of the reboot it seemed to be the one where they shot Adama. I hate that as I love Edward James Olmos.

Yeah, it did. I wasn't impressed and no he was no "Duncan Macleod of Clan Macleod".

Think I knew Max started in the UK. And I agree they will have to find someone as good as Matt Frewer to take over.
