Any chance we'll see either the movie or TV series of Max Headroom
anytime soon on DVD?

I've got the pilot movie on tape around here somewhere,
need to transfer it to dvd-r one of these days.

I hope we'll get both MAX TV shows soon. The "New Coke" commercials "he" did
would be a cool bonus as well.

There's always a chance, but probably not much of one. The
rights to the show (and the original British one-off pilot
-- calling it a "movie" is a bit much) are currently held
by Warner. They haven't given any indication that the show
is being considered for DVD release.

What about the Max Headroom variety/music video show?

Well, while Warner hasn't given any indication that MAX is
being considered for DVD release, they also haven't given
any indication that they've considered and dismissed it as
a possibility. I wouldn't be surprised if the Powers That Be
at Warner Home Video don't even realize that they own it.

Warner had traditionally been opposed to the idea of releasing
TV series on home video. They've been doing a turnaround on
this point, but it's going to take them a while to get beyond
the "current hit" mentality.

Three of my most-wanted series on DVD are Warner properties:
MAX HEADROOM, THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY JR., and CHINA
BEACH.

The alternative to waiting patiently for them would be to
write to Warner Home Video suggesting they consider releasing
MAX on DVD.
