It's amazing that ABC could call this "thought."  Each episode of the original
Max was a mind-blower.  When I first sat down and watched it, I thought during
the commercials (being too engrossed to think during the show):  "This is
without doubt one of the most ambitious things ever done on television."
This thought was closely tailed by its logical conclusion:  "I'll bet it's
cancelled within two months."
     
I was, unfortunately, right.
