TV is so omnipresent in the society of Max Headroom that it is illegal to have an off button on a TV Set. It is the last image he sees (as his head hits it giving him concussion) and what the duplicate remembers as he boots up.
Max Headroom is named for the words on the car park traffic barrier into which Edison Carter is hurled when he tries to escape Network 23 on a motorbike. In the near future, an intrepid investigative TV reporter does his job with the help of his.
