I'm trying to remember this show, 80's or early 90's, about a boy who receives telepathic messages from an alien, and his family thinks he's going crazy. All very serious and dark. The only thing I remember are the credits and cuts to commercials: they show the protagonist's head over an eerie landscape, spinning very slowly and fading into an alien's egg or something. The name of the show was the name of the boy, very simple, one word... Ben, or Max, or anything like that...
