OK, who out there remembers this one?

I remember watching this one as a kid and even then being totally distracted by the real human head on top of the 'hologram' Automan character. And let's be real.... "Cursor" was a total rip of "Bit" from Tron.

Watching the clip makes me wonder what ever happened with Desi Arnaz, Jr? With Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz for parents, Desi Arnaz Jr. was poised to have an acting career essentially handed to him on a proverbial silver platter but it seems he did a few projects and then dropped off.
