Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? was an animated television series on Cartoon Network that aired from 2002 to 2004.
The protagonist is Robot Jones (1st season: a voice synthesizer; 2nd: Bobby Black), 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). Robot attempts to learn of human nature by attending Polyneux Middle School, where he meets three new friends: Socks (Kyle Sullivan), a taller boy with curly blonde hair; Mitch (Gary Leroi Gray), a headphones-wearing boy whose eyes are hidden by his long hair; and Cubey (Myles Jeffrey), a shorter boy with spiked black hair who wears big, square sunglasses and a Pac-Man t-shirt. He also meets Shannon (Grey DeLisle), a girl whom he likes (unrequitedly) for her large orthodontic appliance and metal prosthetic leg.
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. At the end of each episode, Robot makes a data log entry, in which he states conclusions, usually incorrect, that he has arrived at on humanity.
