I loved Automan when I was a kid. I was 6 when I first watched it, then totally forgot about it, then discovered it again a couple of years ago. I was as happy as a 6-year-old!
Tommy Sasaki They did a very impressive job with that suit! I was surprised years later to find out he had worn an actual suit. I thought it might have been made with blue screen effects. I am not sure how they made the suit but you do not see effects like that these days. I loved this show as a kid.It was such a short lived series. I was upset when it was canceled. I never got to see the last episode. The series just left the air. I was bummed out by it.
I loved to watch this Tv series back in 1986 while I was a little kid and I have never eaten my dinner not watching Automan !!! You been a childhood hero of mine !!! Thanks for sharing my long lost tv shows which I always wanted to watch again & again !!!
Mary Ellen Peterson, this adorable series is available on DVD. I found a copy for my son (an avid Automan fan for 22 years, now) at a local pawn shop. I am giving it to him as a surprise gift. You can order the series online on eBay or at Amazon.
you can just order it on line Though Amazon i did last years 2019 as well as Street Hawk and incredible hulk ALF and MIND YOUR LANGUAGE i ordered all 5 of them at once because you will never find any of these programs in any DVD stores in todays world some of the owners just look at you and say I've never heard of it or just look at you really silly.
I don't remember cursor drawing a motorcycle for him to ride, guess I missed that episode, also don't remember him driving his car in the daytime, usually it was always at night when most people were asleep to conserve power.
I remember as a 6 year old buying an automan paint overall at school, I was utterly thrilled. I must say the visuals hold up well for the show, automan has a really cool look.
I used to draw automan on the back of my school papers..My teachers always commented on what a good artist i was..great memories..this show was awesome!-gary/texas
So Battlestar Galactica's Glen Larsen headed up AUTOMAN. I completely missed this 1 year series. Desi Arnaz Jr and my long time favorite Robert Lansing from 12 O'clock High and others. So satisfying.
I was eight when this came out in the UK. I loved it. Having just watched these clips now, though. I'll not be reminiscing any more. That was horrendous!
Automan,Airwolf.The Highway man.lot other movies our childhood timw we see but now a days never ever see these kind of movie ever make such a fantastic era of 80s n 90s movie
I remember when this show came on. I was 15. I didn't know why he called that thing cursor back then. I didn't know what a cursor was. Lol! I loved the show though... The way cursor created what he needed looked so cool to me at the time.
Agents usually take 10-20% commission when they get paying jobs for the people they represent. Essentially, the joke was how agents suck the money out of their clients.
Reminds me of the Quantum Leap show, TRON, Midnight Rider, MacGyver, The A-Team with Mr-T, and many others. Retro 80's fully. This was sci-fi back then, and some fictions are now true. I wonder what the future technologies hold in store. We are advancing at an exponential rate on big tech highway .
Man it bring memories as a kid I remember that show. I remember keeping up with all episodes I think on Monday or Friday then all of sudden they took it took it off air. Remember arguing with classmates in elementary who was best auto man car or knight rider. Lol.
@@francisshortjr computer like I have right now and I have a curser called an arrow and it will click and little bit different than this movie we watch and because curser and automan will come alive and you will ask Chuck Wagner ok
Thanks for uploading this. with the latest TRON movie out also, It'd be all too cool if Automan were to make a comeback. Not to mention the latest upgrades in computers these days. Got to be somebody out there to propose it though....otherwise it'd fall back to nostalgia.
I'm searching for this many years, because I don't remembered name and nothing from show, only light cursor (but in my head was name "oskar"), today I found it! 40 years ago I see it in german TV (and I don't speak german).
Shoutout to those watching this in 2022! 😀 Imagine what they could do with this shows concept with today's CGI and tech! Or the fact that we've got 3D printers today making things from human organs to liveable houses!
I was quite young when he came to my country on Sundays and later in afternoon sessions. But seriously, the opening theme used here was soooo much better than the original. The scene of the guy upside down in the helicopter stuck in my memory.
I will take any 80's TV show over any of the so called reality TV crap they produce these days. They at least tried to have a plot and do the best with the resources they had at their disposal at the time. Indeed.
This brings back surprising memories. I only say that because I was only 4 When this aired first run in 1983-84. But I remember it very clearly. And I have wanted to see it again forever. Sure it's cheesy and all, it was the 80s after all! But i enjoyed it then and now even as I'm 38 years old and the only person I know who remembers it. Think I even had a toy car that tied in with this show. Thanks for posting this Mr. Wagner.
Automan the Sci-Fi superhero series was way ahead of time in 80s era. Besides the protagonist Automan,even a suit,a car and a helicopter can be created out of a computer at random....in reality such fictional technology would put 3D printing to shame.
For the brief time that we had it on the air, here in the UK, _'Automan'_ was my favourite tv show! I had a huge poster of *Automan* himself, right next to my bed; at bedtime I'd lay there imagining adventures that *Automan* & I would go on together… I also used to imagine that his body was a magical doorway to an outer-space dimension, but _shhh_ 🤫, that bit’s a secret 😉
Too bad that Automan and The Greatest American Hero never had a cross-over episode. I could imagine that these were in the same cinematic universe, the "Auto-verse", LOL.
That show was one of my favorites. A-team, Manimal, McGyver, and so many others. they were called "enlatados", I guess cause the films were kept in cans.
Man! just look at all the money they spent on those lazers! Pew, pew pew! I was about 10 and don't ever recall this! It's a good thing. I was busy with Knight Rider and the A-Team. NBC the place to be!
It's out there, just have to hunt for it. Ebay helps. Beware of regional codes though, plus if the show gets made into a DVD release, all the better. As for now it's still public domain, yet not unobtainable.
Damn I like to see a continue of this amazing show even a movie. Like the premise could be one of people they put away finally got out looking for revenge and got to Walter. Walter's kid could have stumbled on to Walter's notes on automan and brings automan back to life but makes him a older to fool people but it has to be chuck he made automan "come to life" with his personality.. Also automan could fight an evil hologram. Something like that just tossing ideas around . It would be amazing
gloria nav, Chuck Wagner is now an acting teacher at the University of West Florida, in Pensacola, as well as a big Broadway star. He appeared in Kiss Me Kate and many other productions including Beauty and the Beast ( playing the Beast opposite ex pop singer Debra Gibson, as Belle.)
Always loved the left turns where Desi would wind up smash-faced into the door window.
I am 60 now and I just loved this at the time. A joy to see it again.🙂🇮🇪🍀
Im 40, and I agree totally!
I'm 58 and would love a Reboot.
I loved Automan when I was a kid. I was 6 when I first watched it, then totally forgot about it, then discovered it again a couple of years ago. I was as happy as a 6-year-old!
I watched it as a kid too. i couldnt even speak english back then. I understood nothing of the plot but was very impressed by the suit.
+MishaHendrix I loved Get Smart.

I watched this show when I was like 6 or 7 in the early 90s now m 32 watching after 25 years 📺👀🤣
i have that movie and my parents never seen this yet 😂
I loved to watch this Tv series back in 1986 while I was a little kid and I have never eaten my dinner not watching Automan !!! You been a childhood hero of mine !!! Thanks for sharing my long lost tv shows which I always wanted to watch again & again !!!
Shout out to everyone who's watching this in 2018 and remember this Tron/Knightrider emulated TV show and loved watching it as a kid.
I loved this show! I wish I could see them all again

Sci-fi and hilarious comedy in a perfect package!! I miss Automan!! 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍
omg, I have been trying to remember this shows name for years!!
It's automan now u know lol
And you can buy it on dvd finally!
I've looked for Automan through the years and finally found at least this. Brings back some good memories.
it's on newsgroups
I was six when this came out love this show damn I miss the 80’s ❤🙏🏿👌🏿
I remember as a 6 year old buying an automan paint overall at school, I was utterly thrilled.
I must say the visuals hold up well for the show, automan has a really cool look.

The guy was a genius. His "failures" were better than other guys's successes.
Fantastic series and great actor!!! Woooow! :-)
So Battlestar Galactica's Glen Larsen headed up AUTOMAN. I completely missed this 1 year series. Desi Arnaz Jr and my long time favorite Robert Lansing from 12 O'clock High and others. So satisfying.
ty mr wagner for posting this. I looked up to your character as a kid. it helped alot. ty again !!!
I was eight when this came out in the UK. I loved it. Having just watched these clips now, though. I'll not be reminiscing any more. That was horrendous!
I remember watching this show when it aired and I was ~11-12 when I watched it and I loved it, I was disappointed they didn't have a second series.
Yeah I was working on people's appliances when this came out.what a uplifting and great accomplishment I feel
Automan,Airwolf.The Highway man.lot other movies our childhood timw we see but now a days never ever see these kind of movie ever make such a fantastic era of 80s n 90s movie
Amazing to think no blue/green screen was used for the suit, it was an actual reflective suit that reflected all light shone one it, never knew that.
Well the full body suit did use a type of green screen, but the outfits where you could see the collar used the reflective fabric.
Wow, talk about a throwback! So glad you posted it on here.
I remember when this show came on. I was 15. I didn't know why he called that thing cursor back then. I didn't know what a cursor was. Lol! I loved the show though... The way cursor created what he needed looked so cool to me at the time.
"What's an agent?"
""A vampire with a telephone"
LMAO!
I didn't understand.
Agents usually take 10-20% commission when they get paying jobs for the people they represent. Essentially, the joke was how agents suck the money out of their clients.
I bought the dvd set two years ago and I am happy to finally seen the whole serie. Too bad there is only one season.

Yes - able to make 90 degree turns at very high speeds.. I remember this!!
One of the reasons I miss the 80’s, they did things back then for entertainment. didn’t need to be explained or backed by science.
This show is my moms favourite childhood show, thank u for sharing dis
Glad you liked it Fariha! Thanks for visiting!
Automan was indeed produced by Glen Larson, the man that gave us Quincy, M.E., Magnum, P.I., Knight Rider, The Fall Guy among other shows
I think for Magnum P. I it was Donald Bellisario.
@@TheParodotaku Yes, Bellisario produced it, but Larson and Bellisario created it
@@TheParodotaku YES HE AND GLEN LRSON
The original version of Battle Star Galactica.
I need one automan to satisfied me everytime in gaysex
It was such a great show! I always watched it as a kid. Such a pity they just made 13 episodes
Ottoman
Automan
Ah the 80s, when computers could do anything
me too
Not even a exaflop computer can do
@@francisshortjr automan lived in the computer and sometimes live in real life world in this movie
@@emilydiveley9661 what sort of computer can do this

O man... What a childhood we had, was my fav show
I remember this show!!! haha I loved it as a kid
I used to love watching this show.

AUTOMAN is cool. I wish that they brought it back in a whole new way.

Try to remember that not all current TV is reality TV, and there's been a lot of sci-fi TV in recent years.
loved this as a kid. My name is Automan
I wished TV Land would broadcast these old shows again!
I love this show and I used to watch it all the time it was like tron but in the real world 😎😎😎😎
I’m 47 and hasn’t seen this since I was about 5yrs old wow!
"Go on - Call my bluff" Priceless!
Automan was never shown here in Denmark. We only had one channel back then.
But i saw it on German Tv. It was lots of fun. Watch it on DVD !
This brings back surprising memories. I only say that because I was only 4 When this aired first run in 1983-84. But I remember it very clearly. And I have wanted to see it again forever.

“Stay tuned. AUTOMAN will be right back!”
When i first got my drivers license, I used to practice making 90 degree Automan style turns. Evidently normal cars can't do that very easily.
Esta série foi incrível! Pegaram os atores certos para os papeis. Chuck ficou perfeito como Automan!
Old is gold good 👍 movies old memories miss him
just read my diary as an 8 year old kid and according to 1983 me i had Auto man ranked as my #2 fave show
Automan the Sci-Fi superhero series was way ahead of time in 80s era. Besides the protagonist Automan,even a suit,a car and a helicopter can be created out of a computer at random....in reality such fictional technology would put 3D printing to shame.
I enjoy this show sooo much
Good memories
Thanks Mike
I would never miss this
They Should release this Show on Blu-Ray
When I was young this was my favorite show
wooow what were those golden era times when there were no seat belts even super turbo speed cars like automan's ... Awesome ... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
3:25 is that erin gray? 9:28 michael jackson, the police, culture club, duran duran... I would not trade growing up in the 80s for anything!!

Loved this show. Pity they don't consider it good enough to put on DVD.
Sailesh Ghelani, actually it IS available on DVD. I bought it for my son who is an avid Automan fan. Got it at a local pawn shop just three days ago.
It really wasn't that good now looking bad....this and MAnimal
I loved this when I was a kid.
Enhanced STEREO Version here:th-cam.com/video/DWepCzthH24/w-d-xo.html
Too bad that Automan and The Greatest American Hero never had a cross-over episode. I could imagine that these were in the same cinematic universe, the "Auto-verse", LOL.
Cool That would have been fun Thanks Thomas
As a kid I couldn't tell the difference in tron and this so I went with centurions the cartoon lol
Haha, I remember Automan on television. (Here in 2022)
I really wish Amazon was selling this series on DVD.
That show was one of my favorites. A-team, Manimal, McGyver, and so many others. they were called "enlatados", I guess cause the films were kept in cans.
The amount of rotoscoping in a single episode is astounding, no wonder its a one off show.
Man! just look at all the money they spent on those lazers! Pew, pew pew! I was about 10 and don't ever recall this! It's a good thing. I was busy with Knight Rider and the A-Team. NBC the place to be!
Pocos somos los que recordamos esta serie.
Never seen this show ever before but it looks way cool! :-)
I miss This genre type shows Nowdays,these were simple and Fun To watch and targeted more like teens Nowdays it's hard
We used to watch this drama with great interest as children
Those were the days , the remake needed in 2023
I met him in Pensacola in 2010 during the oil spill issue! He's really tall, has a beard now
akgotgame1987, Chuck Wagner is 6'5" tall.
WOW. The Decade of the 80s, Was That Long Ago.
When i was a kid,love this serial tv.
Thanks Miko
When I was 6 this was the coolest!
Que saudade desses filmes fantásticos são verdadeiros clássicos que poderiam ser revistos
They would ruin them all, even with all the technology today sadly
This was a tv show not a movie
It's out there, just have to hunt for it. Ebay helps. Beware of regional codes though, plus if the show gets made into a DVD release, all the better. As for now it's still public domain, yet not unobtainable.
Werewolf of Norfolk VA, I bought this on DVD, three days ago. :-)
You remember Automan, but do you remember the show that came after it? Manimal.
Automanimal
Damn I like to see a continue of this amazing show even a movie.
Like the premise could be one of people they put away finally got out looking for revenge and got to Walter.
Walter's kid could have stumbled on to Walter's notes on automan and brings automan back to life but makes him a older to fool people but it has to be chuck he made automan "come to life" with his personality.. Also automan could fight an evil hologram. Something like that just tossing ideas around . It would be amazing
Alan Ritchon would be a perfect fit for the rol.
I love this drama. I was at age of 5 at that time.
Those right angle turns!
It used to be my favorite drama very well
Automan, the world's first man with unmovable hair.
serija moje mladosti pre jedno 30 godina
This show is post-Tron BUT it's also pre-Weird Science. Computer nerd creates a conscious CG best friend who has special powers.
It's out there. Big hit in UK.
Gary Lansing played Gary Seven in the last episode of the second series of Star Trek.
I know you meant Robert Lansing. Thanks for pointing that out because I thought he looked awfully familiar!
@@djmips Oops! I meant Robert Lansing however I conflated him with Gary Seven;).
i lik ds serial very much pls load all episodes
Lt. Curtis just had to mention a left turn... 😂😂😂😂😂
