Created by Glen A Larson (
Battlestar Galactica /
Knight Rider /
Quincy M.E.),
Automan was a blue, computer-generated character (created in the programme by the LAPD's
Walter Nebicher) who was capable of fighting crime and travelling through the streets at high speed in a blue, computer-generated car.
It stayed on screen for just thirteen weeks, but now has something of a cult reputation — generally amongst people who haven't actually seen an episode since the 1980s!
