Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2016

The LAPD's first computer tech is viewed with suspicion and kept in a room apart from the rest of the precinct. Since the powers that be aren't keen on computers, he's not really called on to do much work so a lot of his day is spent designed computer games. A result of his work on computer games is Automan - 'an artificially intelligent computer hologram looks, sounds reals real and, given enough power, can physically exist in the real world.'

Together, computer wiz Walter Nebicher and Automan get out of the precinct and solve crimes with the help of cursor - a small floating 3D version of a computer cursor that can create stuff (costumes, vehicles, weapons).

Desi Arnaz J.R. is Walter; Chuck Wagner is Automan. Their boss, Capt. E.G. Boyd (Gerald S. O'Loughlin) and co-workers Lt. Jack Curtis (Robert Lansing) and Roxanne Caldwell (Heather McNair) come to value Walter's skills, but Automan is kept a secret from the Captain.

Another Glen A. Larson series, Automan was a digital story - inspired by Tron and told with analog effects. Again, the show received mixed reviews but the critics that loved it really loved it - and the show's fans were as hardcore as Trekkers. Unfortunately, like Larson's Battlestar Galactica, Automan was terribly expensive for the time and even decent to great ratings simply weren't enough to keep it on the air.

Frankly, Automan holds up even better than Manimal, which hit shelves the same day (and which I also loved). The effects are amazing enough that they really look digital even now.

Bonus features include: a four-page episode guide (taglines only, so no spoilers); Calling Automan - The Auto Feature (hosted by Wagner, who really knows his stuff); The Story of Automan; Feature Story; Original Cast & Crew Bios; Collectibles Gallery; Stills Gallery.

Decent conversion considering age of the show

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2022

I was in college when this originally aired and only got to see a couple of episodes, but it seemed like it had potential.
Looking back on it now, Larson really made it campy, which is sort of a disappointment.
Still enjoying the DVDs on an old 1080p Sony 50".
The intro of the show seems to take 5 minutes of each episode, explaining what happened in an apparently non-existent pilot. The 1st episode just goes straight into an investigation.
Wikipedia has a surprising amount of behind the scenes info on this show which I don't know if it's included in the extras yet.
I always thought they used CGI to make the outfit glow like that. I was shocked to find out that it was an actual live action element of the costume. Additionally, I would have sworn the Lamborghini was digitized on those 90 degree turns, but low and behold, they did that for real! They might have sped it up a bit but it's till amazing how that car could maneuver in real life! Props to live action elements and less CGI!
Have only watched 1st DVD so FAR. But its entertaining .

A Great classic 1980s Superhero show

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

If you like cheesy but fun and entertaining 1980s action adventure I highly recommend picking Automan up. The effects are still cool but a bit dated and the 3 minute intro to each episode becomes tedious but once you get past that each one is a fun comic book style adventure come to life.

I think if they didn't beat the viewer over the head with the long intro recapping Automan's origin in crazy detail after the initial opening credits it might have fared much better in the ratings when it aired. So once you see it in the first episode just skip it for the rest of the episodes and you'll love it.
