 After the show was initially canceled in the second season (after  drawing minimal ratings after being moved to Friday nights, against  _"Dallas" (1978)_ (qv) and _"Miami Vice" (1984)_ (qv)), Max Headroom  made a final announcement, paraphrasing (and imitating) Winston  Churchill: "We will fight them on the streets of Dallas... We will  fight them on the streets of Miami... Vice... and if the ratings  book lasts for a thousand years, they will say this is Max  Headrooms finest hour."
