“Automan” starring Chuck Wagner and Desi Arnaz Jr.

From Ray W – Mr. Pop – what was the name of the 1990’s TV show whose star was a live-action computer game figure? Help!

Mr. Pop History – It was the short-lived “Automan”(1983) starring Chuck Wagner as a computer game figure/crime fighter. He’s brought to life by a young cop played by Desi Arnaz. It was on ABC-TV, but didn’t last long.

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
