If your first question is "Where can I find a real-time record of today's Twenty Questions contest?", the answer is "Right here, and you've got nineteen left."

If your second question is "Aren't the questions supposed to be answered Yes or No?", the answer is "Shut up."

Not sure if some of them are Earth based, or if some of them dont have robots.

Animated:

Er, does ST:TAS have robots in it?
Star Blazers? Maybe
Battle of the Planets?
Dear lord, The Holiday Special did have an animated segment in it.
Superfriends?
Gilligan's Island in space?

[Scrivener]

The animated Star Trek series must have had a robot or two somewhere.

Star Blazers had IQ-9, among others.

Superfriends, I'm sure, had robots.

And let's not even get into Gilligan's Planet (which I think was 80's, anyway).

[jetjaguar15]

The Star Wars Holiday Special? Were Mike & the Gang doing penance or something?

[Scrivener]

No, but it seems we will be.

I actually saw that thing, twenty-nine years ago.  It may explain how warped and sad I am today.

[SaucyRossy]
