Still, it would be too, too cool to see Max pop up to comment about the millennium. Then again, "Max Headroom" was about television, making some eerily accurate predictions (CNN, tabloid talk shows), and television execs are nothing if not chickens. For whatever reason, Em and director Rich Lee have based the video on Max Headroom. I'm still amazed at the wisdom (or lack thereof) of television execs who can cancel a series halfway through a season. It was a mid-season replacement and never found its audience the database lists the tv-movie, the series (14 or 15 eps), and the original talk show which started the whole thing. Eminem is multicolored with special effects while mimicking famous character Max Headroom in this brand new video for his song Rap God. 21 Eminem parodied Max Headroom in the music video. The series didn't last nearly long enough for me the original title, "Twenty Minutes Into the Future" is very accurate- technologically, stylistically, and in terms of content and post-production, "Max Headroom" was ahead of its time. 38 Rap God was Eminems seventh top 10 start on the Hot 100, pushing him past Lil Wayne (six). Besides that, Matt also was the lead in the series and did a lot of work as Edison Carter as well as Max. The other thing a lot of people forget is that Max in the TV screen was _not_ cgi Max was pre-cgi, and Matt Frewer did incredibly good acting as Max. Everyone seems to remember Max Headroom, the character and Coke pitchman, but a lot of people forget about the series Max was in.
