Anyone else remember Automan from 1983? It only lasted 13 episodes, which was probably a dozen to many. To jog your memory, here is the pilot episode:

Automan - Tron

OMG!!!

Indeed I do rember this short-lived series.  Got reminded of it this morning when I saw a trailer for the 2010 film "Tron Legacy", a sequel to the 1982 movie.  In fact, it's been so long that I mistook "Automan" as being "Tron".

Automan on DVD

I don't think it was ever released officially on DVD, but there people selling bootlegs online that are made from VHS tapings of the show. I'd imagine the quality is pretty crappy, but it's probably the best you can hope for. Just google Automan on DVD and you'll plenty of links. There are also torrents of the shows available that you could download.
