![]() I mean, when you're satirizing stupidity, obviously stupidity is going to react, just by definition. The fact that it was satirizing the very medium that produced it probably had something to do with its short life, as well. One of the most spot-on and funny pieces of satire ever produced. With all the proliferation and specialization of TV channels these days, maybe some day we can have an "Intelligent TV Channel" where shows like these can flourish and those too dim to "get it" can just remove it from their channel rotation. Shows such as Max Headroom are just too intelligent, and go over the head of Average Joe TV Viewer (or Average Joe TV Executive). Which is, unfortunately, mostly what succeeds on TV these days. They are among the only truly visionary and artistic and entertaining things to have been on stupid-box since its inception. If you get the chance to see the extant shows, see them. I suppose the final irony was that the show itself was cancelled, but the problems that it warned us about have come true. Each show was intelligent, witty and eerily prescient. I can't believe that the mucky-mucks even allowed this to be seen, nevertheless broadcast. ![]() I mean, this was a show whose primary entertainment value was in skewering the very medium which presented it. My question was never why this show got cancelled, but who the hell got the idea to put it on the air in the first place. Thank god mass media has not opted for gladiatorial shows. I am glad to see how far off this is from reality - sarcasm :( Another episode involved a sport called rake-boarding, where skateboarders would attempt to disembowel each other while performing nifty stunts. The court is a gameshow with gameshow host for a judge and an opinion poll for a jury. A few episode summaries might help to clarify: Blank Reg (a blank is a person who has been removed from the corporate system, they have few rights, but the 'powers that be' can't easily find them) is put on trial for hacking (a major crime). I was lucky enough to be able to catch MH in sindication on cable a few years ago and to validate my high opinions of the show. This show was beyond cool, it was beyond hip, and it was far too intelligent to have been on the air in the late 80s. I rarely gush about TV shows, especially when they haven't been on in over a decade, but I gush about MH.

![]() ![]() The meaning then progressed to the more common use of the word, which is "acquired mode of behavior." In the 13th century CE, the word habit first just referred to clothing. The word habit derives from the Latin words habere, which means "have, consist of," and habitus, which means "condition, or state of being." It also is derived from the French word habit ( French pronunciation: ), which means clothes. Features of an automatic behavior are all or some of: efficiency, lack of awareness, unintentionality, and uncontrollability. This increases the automaticity of the behavior in that context. When behaviors are repeated in a consistent context, there is an incremental increase in the link between the context and the action. Old habits are hard to break and new habits are hard to form because the behavioural patterns that humans repeat become imprinted in neural pathways, but it is possible to form new habits through repetition. ![]() New behaviours can become automatic through the process of habit formation. A 2002 daily experience study by habit researcher Wendy Wood and her colleagues found that approximately 43% of daily behaviors are performed out of habit.
