Does Somebody Know the Name of this TV Series?

It’s a tv show from the late 70s/early 80s. It’s sort of a buddy/buddy detective type show, except the gimmick is that one of the buddies is a robot. Or a bionic man or something.

The name of the show is something like “Gums & Yo-yo” I think.

TIA!

Holmes & Yo-Yo

I freaking love this board.

1 minute!

The board must have timed out. Usually these people take 10 seconds or less to name that movie-song-book-show.

Don’t forget Future Cop, with Ernest Borgnine and Michael Shannon.

The internet never ceases to amaze me. I remember a cereal in the 60’s that was a mix of sugar pops, sugar smacks, and peanuts. Found it today. It was called Triple Snack. Finally dawned on me to search “Kellogg’s” and “peanuts”.

I think we’d all like to forget that.

I know Harlan Ellison would. :smiley:

Don’t forget Super Fuzz. Strangely it also starred Borgnine in almost the exact same role. Worst. Movie. Ever.

“♫He’s a supa’ troopa’,♫ really supa’ dupa’,♫ he’s a supa’ fuzz!♫”

I remember this series. I loved the fact that Yo-Yo apparently had a Polaroid camera built into him. He would press his nose to take the picture, and the print would rise up out of his shirt pocket.

John Schuck, who played Yo-Yo, later played Herman Munster in The Munsters Today and also played a Klingon ambassador in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

And occasionally, he’d get stuck in a loop, repeating, “I’m from the bunco squad.”

Sheesh, you think I could find *something *better to use that brain cell for.

Wasn’t “Yoyo” short for something like “Yoyanovich”? Or was he trying to pretend to be a real human? It’s been a long time since I watched that show…

I found out an interesting bit of trivia from Wiki. The executive producer of Holmes and Yo-Yo was Leonard Stern, a former writer from Get Smart, and Hymie, the robot from that show, is considered to be a prototype for Yo-Yo.
