The world’s first entirely computer-generated TV show debuts on ABC.
The half-hour Saturday morning children’s show Reboot, set inside a computer system called Mainframe that a guardian program sprite and his friends defend from threats from viruses and the User. The ground-breaking series, produced by Vancouver’s Mainframe Entertainment and created by Gavin Blair, Ian Pearson, Phil Mitchell and John Grace, was on the airwaves until 2002.
It also sparked a video game based on the show and there have been on and off discussions in recent years of making a film version.
