TechTV had Headroom on for a while… but then G4 bought Tech out. I guess you can google TechTV and Headroom for something if you where desperate.

> Amen. In addition to _Max Headroom_ on my list, you can add _Profit_, which lasted a shocking four episodes before the network figured out that I was the only person watching, and _Arrested Development_, which is doomed to die any day now.

I remember _Profit_. Gripping little show, although they needed to do something to make Adrian Pasdar’s character a little less all-encompassingly brilliant and clever and devious. I wondered why the hell he wasn’t the president of the company already if he was so good at hatching plots.

And hasn’t Charmed been renewed for something like an 8th or 9th season? :dubious:

That aside, I never realised there was a series, I saw what must have been the pilot and thought it a one off.
