The Max Headroom Show

Each episode was preceded by Max's intro which said "He's the toast of the town (lightly buttered). He's the non-fattening sugar substitute in your tea. He's a bon vivant, a gaucho amigo, a goomba, a mensch, and the fifth musketeer. He's the apple of your eye and aren't you glad he's here. Direct from a wax and shine at the carwash around the corner, it's the man of the hour, or at least for a good thirty minutes, Max Headroom."
