It was in the 70’s, and a kids program. A family of robots (mother, father, and baby robot) and they befriended a Japanese boy. It had a monster of the week format, and these robots, when necessary, could fly. Anybody remember this show??? ---

Is this the one that was shown on SuperStation WTBS back around 1981, and had an inane English opening narration tacked on which included the phrase, “See an old man who wonders around a cave and bumps into the walls?” Always wondered what that was… Sir Rhosis ---

I remember the Space Giants. I loved that show. That and Ultraman. I always thought of them as the precursers to the Power Rangers. ---
