Help me figure out this TV show

dave k.

Hello,



I am trying to figure out the name of an old television show around the late seventies or early eighties (so I think).



All I can remember is that the show involved something like a computer programmer inventing some sort of computer based life form.



The guy had a side kick named "Cursor" and it was a little white ball of light that was able to create cars, boats, and planes. The vechicle creation process involved Cursor drawing the shape of the vechicle and then it would appear.



The guy use to let the computer (Cursor) drive the vechicle and any time the car would turn it would turn in an exact angle (thus causing the guy to be slammed against something).



I don't the premise of the show, or if it even was a dedicated show and not an extended TV movie.



Those are the only things that I remember about the show. I am crazy or does anyone else know what I am talking about??



Thanks



Dave

It sounds to me like a failed pilot cobbled together into something they could run on a slow Saturday afternoon or at 3am. Never heard of the show, but it sounds absolutely abysmal. Now, the fact that you're looking to find out more about it tells me that you might just like it....so no offense intended.



Good luck tracking THIS one down!

Hey, I remember that show! I thought it was cool when I was a kid, and while it lasted.



I think his cursor could turn into a helicopter too. Hard to remember though...

Good grief, I remember that show!



Although I seem to think it was very deeply awful... Gimme Streethawk anyday.

I remember it (but very vaugly).



I found a description of the serie and especially the first couple of episodes sounds great.



But it also have something I can´t really put into words. I think gay is the closest but doesn´t really hit it spot on. But read for yourself:

And I found this one. Hope I one day can make a custom made of myself so my future kids can play with their all time hero
