Actually, there was a robot Named PAL on Tv.

(Found this while looking for the above Johnny five picture)



Here's the text from the picture.

Quote:
Eric also showed me PAL the little robot which had earned him the job to build Number Five. Very ironically, this little robot was later used in the final episode of the TV show The Wizard. He played a robot character named H.E.N.R.I. VIII, he was the eighth prototype of an intelligent robot which had been designed by the Wizard, who was played by the late David Rappaport. The robot was even equipped with a little laser gun. The show aired in the spring of 1987 and was an obvious knock-off of Short Circuit! It was hoped that the idea of adding the robot character might save the show from eminent cacellation. It's too bad that the plan didn't work because I love the episode, for obvious reasons, and I surely would have continued to watch the show with the robot on it.
Keep in mind this was off a site dedicated to Johnny five, and the man in the picture is the one who built both PAL and Johnny five.
