Max Headroom 1987 Broadcast Signal Intrusion Incident
On 22 November 1987, an unidentified person wearing a Max Headroom mask and costume carried out broadcast signal hijacking of two television stations in Chicago, Illinois. During each signal interruption, the hijacker speaks with distorted audio and stands before a swivelling corrugated panel to mimic Max Headroom’s geometric background effect.[19] During the second signal hijacking, he referenced Max Headroom’s endorsement of Coca-Cola, the TV series Clutch Cargo, WGN anchor Chuck Swirsky, and “all the greatest world newspaper nerds” (a reference to WGN’s call letters, which stand for “World’s Greatest Newspaper”).
The first “Max Headroom incident” was 25 seconds during the sports segment of WGN-TV’s 9:00 p.m. news broadcast. Approximately two hours later, the second signal hijacking was about 90 seconds during PBS affiliate WTTW’s broadcast of Doctor Who (“The Horror of Fang Rock”).[6][7][20] The second video ended with the hijacker apparently exposing buttocks and being spanked with a flyswatter. Normal programming then quickly resumed. These video pirates have never been identified.

Tony does not get it but argues it’s because it was a Netflix show and not a Network show.
Worth the watch this St. Patrick’s Day regardless! It’s a show similar to Only Murders in the Building but based in a small Irish village.
