Whatever Happened to Robot Jones
Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? is an animated television series on Cartoon Network that has aired from 2002 to the present.
The protagonist is Robot Jones (1st season: a voice synthesizer; 2nd: Bobby Black), a short android who lives in a small city in the U.S. during the 1980s (apparently --- the animation style, clothing, and soundtrack all seem to indicate that decade). Robot attempts to learn of human nature by attending Polyneux Middle School, where he meets three new friends: Socks (Kyle Sullivan), a taller boy with curly blonde hair; Mitch (Gary Leroi Gray), a headphones-wearing boy whose eyes are hidden by his long hair; and Cubey (Myles Jeffrey), a shorter boy with spiked black hair who wears big, square sunglasses and a Pac-Man t-shirt. He also meets Shannon (Grey DeLisle), a girl whom he likes (unrequitedly) for her large orthodontic appliance and metal prosthetic leg.
In each episode, Robot, usually with the help of his friends, gets himself into a situation brought on by his social ineptness and others' lack of understanding. At the end of each episode, Robot makes a data log entry, in which he states conclusions, usually incorrect, that he has arrived at on humanity.
