The Powers of Matthew Star

The Powers of Matthew Star was a painful show to watch when it came out and it's hard to endure now. The issue was that its Star lacked charisma. Peter Barton won the role over Tom Cruise and I think that's a bad thing because had Cruise been in this, his career would likely be over and he'd be a much lower-ranked Mindhead member. But then, the show would have been even harder to watch. And I actually remember enjoying Mr. Merlin, so I was easy to please back in the day.
Thanks to Youtube, here's the episode with Mr. Bennu himself, Judson Scott. At this point in his career he had already been in THE PHOENIX a year earlier, so I'm not surprised he gave this character a different spin.
One of the reasons, in my opinion, why this show is remembered, is the title. Like JASON OF THE STAR COMMAND, it has a memorable sound to it.
A MATTHEW STAR fan edited faux trailer in 2017 from some shows I've never seen was more successful in entertaining than the entire season of the real thing.
The plot was later recycled into some silliness called I AM NUMBER FOUR, a number two by Michael Bay.
