Trivia

Matt Frewer appeared in a public service announcement after the show, where he cautioned against prejudice and fear toward people dealing with HIV and AIDS, citing an example of a friend who had to endure such trials. He was referring to Ryan White, whom Matt had befriended after reading about him in a magazine interview. The photos printed in the interview featured a "Max Headroom" poster in Ryan's bedroom.
