Max Headroom
Max Headroom is a fictional British artificial intelligence, known for his wit and stuttering, distorted, electronically sampled voice. The character was created by George Stone, Annabel Jankel, and Rocky Morton in the mid nineteen eighties, and portrayed by Matt Frewer as “The World’s first computer generated TV host” although the computer generated appearance was achieved with prosthetic make up as the computer technology of the time was not sufficiently advanced to achieve the desired effect. Preparing the look for filming involved a four-and-a-half hour session in make up which Matt Frewer described as “a very painful, tortuous and disgusting enterprise.” Click here to watch him in a Coke commercial »

The Littl’ Bits is a Japanese anime television series with 26 episodes, produced in 1980 by Tatsunoko Productions in Japan. First shown on TV Tokyo (then called Tokyo 12 Channel), its Saban-produced English translation was featured on the children’s television station Nick Jr. from 1991 to 1995 alongside other children’s anime series such as Adventures of the Little Koala, Maya the Bee, Noozles, The Mysterious Cities of Gold and the show also was on Cartoon Network from 1993 to 1997.
Due to their similar size and naming scheme, an analogy is often drawn between the Littl’ Bits and the Smurfs. Click here to watch the intro to the show »
