On this day, December 15, 1983, Automan premiered on ABC. This sci-fi series, created by Glen A. Larson, starred Desi Arnaz Jr. as Walter Nebicher, a computer programmer who creates an artificial intelligence superhero named Automan to fight crime. The show combined cutting-edge visual effects with an innovative premise, bringing a unique blend of action and humor to television.

Despite its creative concept, Automan only lasted one season with 13 episodes, becoming a cult favorite among fans of 80s sci-fi. Its influence can still be seen in discussions about early CGI and futuristic storytelling.
