VR.5 is an American television program that ran from 10 March 1995 to 12 May 1995 on FOX before it was cancelled. Only 10 of the 13 episodes aired during its original airing, the remaining 3 airing elsewhere at a later date.
The show starred Lori Singer as Sydney Bloom, a telephone engineer and daughter of Dr Joseph Bloom, played by David McCallum, inventor of an advanced virtual reality system.
When inside the virtual reality system the visual look of the show was changed by digitally altering the colours, this effect took four weeks for each episode and contributed to the cost of the show which was up to $1.5 million per episode.
The show used what appeared to be mistakes in technology and continuity as clues to what was actually happening.
