For those of you who don't remember "Robot Jones", the show is based off of a pilot that aired during the original Big Pick 1 in 2000, but didn't win initially.

Cartoon Network Upgrades with Six Volts of Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?
Cartoon Cartoon Original Series Scheduled for July Premiere
<a href="http://www.toonzone.net/shows/images/cartoon-network/robotjones1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.toonzone.net/shows/images/cartoon-network/t-robotjones1.gif" alt="Robot Jones" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="3" width="125" height="133"></a> Like most teenage boys, Robot Jones attends school, does his homework, hangs out with his friends and has a crush on a girl. Unlike most teenagers, he is 3 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs 500 pounds and has a 9,468 mega-volt memory. Robot Jones is a spunky young robot trying to cope with life, fit in with humans, and, most importantly, survive the pit of adolescence hell known as junior high. Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? will premiere on Cartoon Network this July.
In the retro-1980 future where the series takes place, robots have become commonplace. Mechanical butlers, electronic plumbers and robo-bartenders are part of everyday life, but Robot Jones is a different kind of machine altogether. He is an experimental prototype designed to interact with humans on a personal level. Though programmed with basic emotions, Robot Jones doesn't quite have a handle on dealing with them and thus, tends to be more overly dramatic and socially awkward than other teenagers.
Surrounded by his antiquated and embarrassing robotic family, nerdy friends like "Socks",? His crush Shannon and his nemeses Lenny and Denny (the Yogman Twins), Robot Jones conquers the drudgery of the sixth grade where he excels in gym class, runs for class president and dreads open house night at school.
