Whatever happened to robot jones pilot episode (Original voice) read description

I have all the robot jones episodes ones with the original voice and ones with the Bobby block voices people have already uploaded the episodes to KZbin but I also wanted to upload the episodes to keep this media from being lost if I get a copyright then KZbin obviously hates me

Man the original Text-to-Speech voice really made this show special.

Yea

You know, there's something very novel about hearing a genuine text to speech voice being used in an actual animated series on TV. Especially after hearing so much text to speech on the internet only. I kind of wish they kept the text to speech voice.

[@sarcasm-aplenty]

I think in some cases the robotic voice works better than the human voice. The emotion the voice actor gives some moments is good tho. like the p.u. to p.e. wake up screech

What's wrong with the new voice

[@jordanpeterson5038]

Nothings wrong with it but it defeats the purpose of the character. It's about a robot going to school and at first the voice was from a Mac digital vocal. Then the new one was changed directly to a version that just sounded like an average kid. You see what I'm getting at ?

[@ZTB43]

The even funnier thing is that the artstyle of MLAATR is often compared to old Cartoon Network shows while Robot Jones’ is more scratchy and crude like most Nickelodeon shows.

[@Backkward]

2:54 from an actual "middle schoolers" view from this ( I'm going to grade 9), this problem seems impossible. First, simplifying 8.144/5 would make it 26.88. but still after that, we don't know what Y is so there's nothing else to do. The only way that I could maybe finish it would be if it had an equal sign after everything, with an answer at the end. From what I did, all the problem is now is 3y ÷ y/26.88 Please correct me if I'm wrong. But even though I can't get it, the humans who are getting assigned with this problem are also in middle school too which doesn't make much sense to give them a problem like this.

[@Rex_The_Mouse]

I wouldn't blame the voice or style for why this show did so poorly. Keep in mind this was during a time when CN wanted to stray away from Hanna Barbara and create their own style. Only so many shows could be on the channel, so CN spent their time and marketing on other shows that could appeal to a lot more people. If this was during the era when the internet was popularized like it is now, at best Robot Jones would have an internet series, and if people loved it, maybe something on a streaming service. But it wasn't about if people liked it, it was the networks decision. We were lucky enough to have it see the light of day. Creativity always wins in the long term, people still search this show up even after all these years.
