The protagonist is Robot Jones (1st season: a voice synthesizer; 2nd: Bobby Block), a short automaton 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; The Breakfast Club and Summer School are similar indications of this 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. The protagonist is the central figure of a story, and is often referred to as a storys main character. ...

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. In some episodes he would be tormented by twin brothers Lenny and Denny Yogman (respectively Josh Peck and Austin Stout). 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.

The opening sequence of the show, in which Robot Jones is assembled in a factory and then inserted into a schoolbus, was perhaps an homage to the opening sequence of 1980s children's show You Can't Do That On Television, which started with a similar animation of children being assembled in a factory and poured into a schoolbus. The animation style is somewhat similar to that of Schoolhouse Rock! . You Cant Do That on Television (YCDTOTV) was a Canadian childrens television program, created by Roger Price and produced from 1979 until 1990, with a reunion episode in 2004. ...

It was cancelled shortly after production began on its second season due to a sheer lack of viewers. In fact, episodes in the second season started at a siginificantly later time (11pm Eastern) than other premiere shows. The fact that Robot's voice was changed caused dismay among fans of the show and is often speculated as the cause of its cancellation; although this change was made to pit the show against Nickelodeon's My Life as a Teenage Robot (whose series creator, Rob Renzetti, was a director on the show). Nickelodeon (Nick for short) is a cable TV network primarily for children and pre-teens, but also features shows for teenagers in TEENick. ...
