20 Minutes into the Future...

The year was 1987 and I was completely hooked on a little show called, Max Headroom . Perhaps you remember it? Max was so cool that MTV (back when MTV was cool and played videos) even took him on a tour of high schools around the country. Our school was one of those chosen! So, yea. I was a pretty big geek over Max.

Anyhow, I had asked my father to record the Season 2 premiere episode entitled, Academy. It was all about my favorite character, *Bryce Lynch, and I was very jazzed to see it. I can no longer remember why I wasn't glued to the set that Friday night, but I do remember this - 40 minutes into the show, my jackass father apparently grew tired of tapping my show and flipped the channel over to watch some stupid ass football game. So I got 40 minutes of Max and 20 minutes of football! I was so pissed! When I threw a hissy, he blew me off saying, "Oh, you'll catch the last 20 minutes in reruns."

Well, guess what? A few weeks later they canceled my show and I never again had the opportunity to watch that episode in full. That is until tonight! Here it is in the year 2007, and because of the amazing creation called the internet, I was able to watch Academy in full - and for free! You CAN go back in time and correct some mistakes apparently. I just didn't think it would take me 20 years. LOL

*Bryce Lynch was played by the wonderfully geeky Christopher Tyler Young! Sigh! I just loved him - with his messy hair and goofy glasses. What can I say? I even wrote him a big sappy letter and received a signed photo from him - in black sharpie! Apparently he is now producing Kelly Clarkson's videos or something...but he'll always be Bryce to me.
