Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?

Greg Miller's original series pilot aired on Cartoon Network on June 16, 2000, in a contest featuring 11 animated shorts to be chosen for a spot on the network's 2000 schedule.

During the weekend of August 25–27, 2000, all 11 pilots aired as part of a 52-hour marathon called "Voice Your Choice Weekend", in which viewers would vote for their favorite pilots.

While Grim & Evil won the contest with 57% of the vote, Robot Jones came in second place with 23% and was given its own series run beginning July 19, 2002.

Greg Miller stated in an interview on Facebook that he used a Microsoft Word 97 text-to-speech software on his old Macintosh computer for Robot's voice during production for season one, but after the first season was completed, the executives of Cartoon Network didn't like how it sounded.

Child actor Bobby Block was chosen to take the role of Robot in season two.

Robot Jones' text-to-speech voice was also recorded for production of the second season, but because the voice change happened during the production of those episodes, this voice was never dubbed into the final prints.
