Programs.
5) The X-Files. Used to love that when it was originally aired.
4) The Outer Limits, a lesser version of The Twilight Zone.
3) The Twilight Zone, better then The Outer Limits.
2) Red Dwarf. Used to love this, even though it had a laughing machine going on.
1) Maximum Headroom. This now reveals my age somewhat. Max Headroom was something special back in the 80's when computer technology was nothing like it is today. It had this really good pilot movie that captured the same cyberpunk atmosphere as the first two Robocop movies. The strange thing about that was how the character Max Headroom was recognised for being a wisecracking host of a music television program, so it was strange seeing where the background of this character came from; I mean, he's suppose to be the memories of a man, transfered onto a computer where the last thing he saw before being put into a coma from a motorbike accident, was a height bar in a multistory car park with the sign 'Max Headroom'. Of course, he wasn't actually computer generated, but that didn't stop them winning a BAFTA for best computer graphics. For kids back in that day, he was quite astonishing, especially with that gritty, cyberpunk series he also featured in.
