Robby the Robot TV and Movie Appearances

Ойын-сауық

Travel back in time to the 1950's and forward with amazing memories of Robby the Robot and his wild TV and Movie appearances, guest spots, and cameos. Robby the Robot made his debut in the 1956 sci-fi big budget movie, "The Forbidden Planet". From there he starred in the B-movie the "Invisible Boy". Robby was no stranger to TV even during his early film career making an appearance on the Perry Como show to promote "The Forbidden Planet".
He did appearances on a ton of TV shows throughout the decades including Lost in Space, Wonder Woman, Mork and Mindy, Ark II, Hazel, The Addams Family and more. Robby has been known as the hardest working robot in Hollywood. He's even made an appearance with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck on 2003 film "Looney Tunes Back in Action".
No other robot has been on television as long and on such a big variety of shows as Robby.

    I recall the line about the person in the Robby suit being a 'lush', but at that age, I had no idea what that term meant. I remember being perplexed by the line, but I'd forgotten what show it was in. This video filled in the memory gap - it was on an episode of Wonder Woman.

    I met Robbie the Robot back in the ‘60s at Harry’s Ace Hardware on Magazine Street in New Orleans. I was around four or five years old at the time. He scared the hell out of me and everyone else, as the man in the robot suit was obviously drunk. Robbie was rude and crass, much to the audience’s surprise. He made a little girl blow up a balloon until it popped in her face, the entire time yelling at her to, “BLOW!!! BLOOOW!!!!! BLOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!” The children were terrified and the adults were mortified! Then, at the end of the event, Robbie gave everyone ‘autographed’ black and white 8” X 10” photographs of himself that came out of the horizontal slats in his ‘neck’. I remember crying a lot, and the evening was most traumatic for all who attended.

    There was only one Robby costume produced for Forbidden Planet, so all his appearances prior to the 1970s are the actual Forbidden Planet prop. Starting in the early 1970s replicas were made and I believe all his film appearances from that point (around the time of the Columbo episode) on are replica costumes.

    "Mildred looked like Robby... had lost his head and gone to a junkyard on Sesame Street to replace it." A better comment might have been to say that they slapped a wig on the Uncle Simon head from the Twilight Zone episode mentioned earlier at 4:59.

    10:01, I'm not gonna lie, I never knew that this thing was somewhat suppose to be Robbie the Robot in Looney Tunes Back in Action (which the Film turned 20 Years Old last week), or at least resembled him, since I wasn't fully familiar with the Character until I started watching this video right now.

    Wow, this video is GREAT! I remember most of these appearances...although I think I had missed The Love Boat and Mork & Mindy, somehow... The only nit I found was regarding Space Academy: The title of that episode should be pronounced as if it were spelled "My Favorite Marsha" (a reference to the old sci-fi comedy "My Favorite Martian" (and not "mar-SEE-uh"!) I really enjoy your videos...thanks for all you hard work!

    If you like thoughtful science fiction you should try to catch Forbidden Planet. There are very good reasons it is considered a classic film. Unusual story - a cautionary tale with a lot of relevance today. And Anne Francis is very easy on the eyes.
