  • Thanks for the link, got all but one as I never watched the show in question.

    Great quiz! Like Martin_H, I missed one. For me, it was the last one, REM.

    How miserable is that?

    Where is Marvin the Paranoid Android?

    Or the Ed-209

    10 out of 11.
    I found it interesting that an old friend, K9, was shown. And even Rayna from a Star Trek episode as well.

    Don't feel bad, I had 9 out of 11, 2 or 3 were lucky guesses.

    I'm with Heater. No Marvin?

    I only got K9, the rest I've never heard about.

  • I only got about half of them. I guess I don't watch enough TV!
  • I agree, Marvin should have made the list. Kryten from Red Dwarf would have been good too.

    No Marvin.

    Depressing, isn't it?
  • Not really.
    erco's got them all right.

    I think he said he missed one.

  • I would have gotten 10 out of 11 if I didn't hit the wrong button. I missed Vicki.
  • I didn't recognize a couple, as not having watched those shows, but I thought the answers gave themselves away. Example: I hadn't watched the Trek with Rayna since it came out in 1969 (I usually stay way from third season Treks, though there are a couple of good ones in there). But the costume design and makeup were a dead giveaway.

    Some of the robots, like Vicki, were a complete mystery. I admit to not having watched ANY of the shows in the list of answers. Diff'rent Strokes!?!

    They gotTwiki right. Most people confuse Twiki (a robot) with the talking/pulsating disc (a computer) that Twiki wore around his neck.

    I once met the actor who played Hymie. He came in for a headshot when I worked at a photo studio in Studio City during the mid-70s. Seemed like a decent sort.

    Don't fret, Marvin fans. He made this more comprehensive list: http://gawker.com/5678318/televisions-greatest-robots-a-video-timeline

    Wow, I did not realize, Robby is the same age as me! I guess first saw Forbidden Planet when I was about 8 years old.

    Lost in Space was great at that age. "Oh the pain, the pain". I have a toy B9 on my desk here.

    Amen Brother! I WAS Will Robinson in my formative years.

    I wasn't referring to erco himself. I meant his robots.

    Indeed. (As it applies to Twiki.)
