This page provides a list of technology, sci-fi, and cyberpunk related TV Series, documentaries, and other TV Shows

Max Headroom (1987-1988): Based on the movie of the same name. Worse than the movie in every way.; You probably only know about this because of that one time a bunch of kids took over a news station with max headrooms head. Dont watch it just because of that. In fact, dont watch it for any reason. Why is this listed?

The I.T. Crowd (2006-2013): British sitcom about two tech support nerds and their increasingly ridiculous adventures. By the same writer as Father Ted and Black Books.

Silicon Valley (2014-present): In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. A comedy partially inspired by Mike Judge's own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late 1980s.

The Prisoner (1967-1968): A former unnamed spy is kidnapped and taken to a bizarre, surreal island staffed by an international conspiracy who wish to know why he resigned. He is only known as Number 6. The Island is run by a man known only as Number 1, whom is never seen even by the co-head of the island, Number 2. The person whom is Number 2 is a pseudo-democratically elected person out of the denizens of the island.

Black Mirror (2011-present): Each episode of Black Mirror is it's own independent mini-movie. Most episodes are based around a near-future reality where technology dominates the character's lives.

Mr. Robot (2015-present): A young hacker who suffers from social anxiety disorder and forms connections through hacking. He's recruited by a mysterious anarchist, who calls himself Mr. Robot. Season 1 was the best, then it loses its tact and becomes odd and stupid.

Bits and Bytes (1983-1984, 1991): A Canadian television show explaining computer topics in layman's terms for the general public.

Computer Chronicles (1983-2002): A show produced by PBS documenting the rise of the personal computer.

The Screen Savers (1998-2005): The former Tech TV's most popular show. It was in a talk-show format. Died when TechTV was killed by Comcast.

Unscrewed with Martin Sargent (2003-2004): A spin-off of The Screen Savers, it also was a talk-show format. It was more about the culture of the new internet than tech in general. Sargent's reported binge drinking adventures, and pornography. Famous for giving an early interview to Dr. Gene Ray of Time Cube fame.

The New Screen Savers (2015-2018): A revival of The Screen Savers by the original cast.
