90's Sci-fi TV Show Briefly Aired on MTV

Postby marktruman » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:57 am

I'm looking for a short-lived sci-fi show that I'm pretty sure aired on MTV in the early-mid 90's. I thought possibly it was done by Christ Carter, but I haven't found it on his list of television show's he's worked on.

The premise was about a young guy who was finding out sort of secrets and ended up on the run from someone with this girl and maybe some other kids. Pretty vague description I know.

Anyway, if anybody can remember what the name of this show was I'd really appreciate it.

Dead at 21?

Welcome to SV, marktruman.

The only Science Fiction show that MTV aired in the 90's (other than Æon Flux, which was animated,) that I'm aware of was Dead At 21.

Series Premise.
A secret government project put microchips in babies' brains, and they all grew up to be geniuses. Only problem is, the chips start to break down, causing intense dreams which slowly drive them mad. None of the kids survives past their 21st birthday. Unfortunately, Ed finds out about it on his 20th birthday. Agent Winston, assigned to bury the project, frames Ed for murder. Maria, whom he met at the party, is a witness. Together, they set off to clear their names, find a cure, help other cyborgs, stay out of jail and stay alive, all while trying to beat the biological clock that will make Ed Dead At 21.

You can find a listing of the series episodes here to see if it's the series you're thinking about.
