DAILY LOG ENTRY:
Even though it may be one of the short-lived shows on Cartoon Network, "Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?" is actually one of the best cartoon from the 2000's I've seen in my opinion.
The voice acting for the characters were pretty great, but the most particular praise has to go to the Word 98 text-to-speech performance of the title character, Robot Jones. It's cute, funny, and pretty much fits Robot's character design so well. Another fact that makes the show so unique and nostalgic is that both the rough animation and the art style are love letters to the 80's animated series, "Schoolhouse Rock".
And suprisingly, while sticking with its sci-fi humor, it's one of the Cartoon Network shows that uniquely teaches us heartwarming life lessons or leaves us on an often satisfying note in form of Robot's "Daily Log Entries" at the end of almost each episode, particuarly about friendship, having growth spurts and parents that aren't perfect.
FINAL ANYALISIS: If Cartoon Network respects and greenlights Greg Miller's wishes for doing a quality reboot, that'll be awesome, because "Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?" is one of these cult-favorite cartoons like "Invader Zim" and "My Life As A Teenage Robot" that at least deserve either another season or a proper satisfying ending at least.
