I remember it being hilarious when I saw it, but I doubt it would hold up without knowledge of the Rich White People dramas it was parodying; Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Santa Barbara, et al.

Automan: a reverse Tron (from the creators of Tron) with a "hologram" cop created in our world. Apparently cost $1M per episode in 1983, starring... the son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz? Sure, why not. I think it may have actually looked good at the time, but the ratings weren't exactly great and it went away after 12 episodes.
I loved Automan. The early 80's had a few shows where computers/technology were the superheroes; Knight Rider was maybe the most well-known one, but there was also Whiz Kids, where a teenage computer nerd and his pals have adventures typically involving solving crimes via computer hacking. It was a time when computers were relatively new and people weren't really aware of what they could and couldn't do, so the stories probably seem outlandish today. It only lasted 1 season, but it was good fun.
