80's Television

For all you sci-fi lovers of 80's stuff, I know you checked out this tv series at least once back in 1983-84... of course it was only around for 12 episodes so if you didn't check it out quickly you missed the whole thing... the series did feature Desi Arnaz Jr. (son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz) as one of the stars... today's 80's television flashback brings you "Automan"...

the full pilot episode/movie is on youtube, and just to get you hooked here is the intro and the beginning of that maiden episode that hooked viewers for a whole season before being cancelled...
