It's pretty rare that I see this show mentioned on /co/. I just finished it and thought it was pretty entertaining. I thought that the pilot was much better than the rest of the series, especially in terms of animation style, but even so the series was pretty solid and worth the watch. What do you guys think?
I remember liking it as a kid when it was airing, but I haven't seen it in forever
what's the best quality download for it? I liked it. It was drawn on cel during the digital era of things and it really gave to it's look.
also Cartoon Network fucked it and the creator over
Has there ever been a show with a more fitting name?
And yeah, I thought it was alright. Very reminiscent of Schoolhouse Rock, and one of the better CN proposed pilots. From what I understand, low ratings and the threat of legal action from Apple (the specific synthesized voice they were using turned out to be copy-written) caused multiple re-tools and the show just sort of got lost in the shuffle.
I remember hearing that they ended up changing his voice actor for some reason, and that nobody was able to find those early versions since nobody recorded them. Is that still the case?

How so?

Some of the early versions are still available, though the quality is shit. Just search around on Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc. I definitely prefer the speech synthesis to the real voice acting

If I had more free time I'd try stripping the audio and inserting the track onto a decent quality one. It's nice to know that they're not totally gone forever.

Hard to tell what actually happened, since people on the internet made up a bunch of bullshit about it

Didn't they still use the synth voice for other characters? I remember an episode where Robot goes into the basement to visit his Grandpa (an old room-sized supercomputer) and he had a deep synth voice.
The title is so damn appropriate for what happened to the show.

Yea, it's even hard to find info on the show for the most part.
