The robots aren’t really gone. You see, I believe the Robots are the future. Teach them well, and let them lead the way. We’ve got to show them all the beauty they posses inside. ---

Slinky bimbos in hooker dresses are a dime a million so long as you’ve got internet access. But Chrome-Toaster Cylons with red scanner eyes and first generation synthesizer voices? Ah, nostalgia. [sub]Bidi-bidi-bidi by your command.[/sub] ---

I’ll be glad when the robot shows are finished. Craig Charles/Dave Lister and Robert Lewellen/Kryten must stop participating in those silly shows and GET BACK TO WORK ON THE GODDAMN RED DWARF MOVIE!! OK, that was a silly rant. Lewellen’s “Junkyard Wars” show is only tangentially related to the popularity of the robot programs and quite frankly I’ve lost interest in any future Dwarf projects. Still bugs me that those guys did not finish the _Red Dwarf_ series properly. ---

Because even robot need a little love and attention now and then, and its hard to get than when you look like a refrigerator wearing a toaster overn. ---

Well, that explains it. He wasn’t warning the kid; he was asking for help, when he said “Danger, Will Robinson!” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-have-all-the-robots-gone/217755.md?page=1)
