My favourite episode title is "Staying Alive While Running a High Flashdance Fever".
Through some outrageous travesty of justice, the show was cancelled after only one season and the thirteenth and final episode was never aired. FOR SHAME! I'm going to start a petition to reverse the injustice and get the final episode aired, for the greater glory of the millions, nay billions of Automan fans out there....

It was my absolute favourite TV show during the 80's. The guy who played Automan - the pixelated superhero - was named Chuck Wagner, and his co-star was Desi Arnez Junior. Automan had a sidekick "Cursor", kinda like Tinkerbell of the computer age, who flew around drawing everything that Automan needed at any given moment - a Ferarri, a gun, a plate of pixelated sphagetti for sustenance, etc etc. I wish someone would show it again. It kicked the A-Team's butt.
