  Whatever Happened to Robot Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
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.
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).

This was made easier because there is a reference in The Merchant Princes to what happened on Askone (it is briefly indicated that Askone first allowed trade with the Foundation and was soon inundated with missionaries and lost its power to the Foundation).
The Foundation is still far from the huge power the former Empire had, but it's rapidly growing and expanding its control and prestige.
While this is happening, we see events from the view of a member of the Second Foundation, Speaker Gendibal, who believes that the Second Foundation is being manipulated by yet another organisation.

 Animation Insider - Whatever Happened to Robot Jones
Wow, either something happened off the scenes, or its just no reason and Cartooon Network knew the show was gonna cancel itself out and they wanted it go the way of the dodo quietly.
I saw some of one episode of the series, the style of animation didn't apeal to me and the storylines were bland for the most part.
It was OK while it lasted, but I have no longing to see the show again (I do long to see Sheep in the Big City again, but then again, that's another story).

DT: My Life as a Teenage Robot and Whatever Happened to Robot Jones, the series you and Greg Miller worked on, both feature young robots trying to find their way and fit in, often in a school setting.
The roles were somewhat reversed; the robot was very much a straight male robot and the teenage girl was actually human.
She was still the main character because she had all the typical teenage angst, but Fred felt that a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with a robot might be a touchy area.

("Robot Jones" was more of love letter to the 1980s, which probably doomed it to cancellation since I doubt most viewers of the network were even alive in the 80s.
Heck, I don't remember much of the 80s.) "Teenage Robot" is more focused on Jenny attempts to fit in with the human high-schoolers, a theme that resonates with the demographic Nick attracts.
"Robot Boy", at least from the first ep, focuses more on the battling of other robots, as there even seems to be a major villian who I assume will appear every week.

 Comments on 4321 | Ask MetaFilter
I don't see it happening soon, unfortunately, but when it does, good lord is that show going to be fucking great.
My personal fave in anime-style is a 6-part miniseries titled "FLCL" or "Fooly Cooly", recently aired on Adult Swim, which mixed aliens, X-files paranoia, pre-teen sexuality, robots, decent rock music, baseball and a very dysfunctional Japanese family into an almost indecipherably surreal and incredibly well animated experience.
It sure would be nice for animation to go beyond Pixar, princesses, and Ninja Turtles, but at this rate it will be decades before that happens.
