Hmm... I think that he DID sparkle, but it's hard to remember for sure.
I was 11 years old, so it could've been the Cap'n Cruch talkin'.

you are thinking of another show around the same time. i think it was called tv man or some dumb shit like that. he was like a computer, and his suit was a wierd video effect like when the star trek people beam. he also had a little friend named cursur that would draw him a car or something. and the car turned corners like the cycles in tron. it was a terrible show. shit...tv man...computer man...something really dumb like that. i cant remember the exact name. it definitely wasnt as good as street hawk! if airwolf was a motorcycle!

AUTOMAN!
God, I loved that show. He was a sort of computer guy who had a little thing that used to fly round him called Cursor. He couldn't go round roundabouts in his car because it could only turn at angles! Ah, childhood memories.

AUTOMAN (1984)
GLEN A. LARSON (HURRAH FOR GLEN A. LARSON!)WAHEY-EFFECTS STYLE kiddery with limp computer-operating cop Walter (DESI ARNEZ JNR) creating super electronic crimefighter bloke by a patchily-explained process, along with comedy sidekick "Cursor", who turns into a neon car, neon helicopter and neon tennis ball thing. Automan himself (CHUCK WAGNER!) was spangly leotearded but with normal head. Disappeared at night when people of the city turned on lights, electric toothbrushes etc., thereby draining his power (rather large drawback for a super-hero). Pretty much arse, really.

what about autoMANimal - how awsome would he be eh
- TwinLobe0
Automan looks like a second-rate Tron!
No wonder Desi Jr. didn't have an acting career after that...
