Robot and Monster is an animated series from Nickelodeonnote Later moved to Nicktoons and then moved to Noggin created by Dave Pressler, Joshua Sternin and Jennifer Ventimilia. It chronicles the misadventures of two best friends, Robot Default (Curtis Armstrong) and Monster Krumholtz (Harland Williams), who live together and work in the Blinking Lights Factory. They live in a world where Robotic Mechanicals and Monstrous Organics are unified by their shared love of bacon.Robot is an inventor whose experiments usually fail, often explosively. He tends to be short-tempered, partly because of his failed experiments and partly because his family, who run the factory and find him to be a complete disappointment. Monster, on the other hand, is an eternal optimist who always looks at the brighter side of things and is the self-proclaimed "Happiest Guy in the World". The humor often comes from the duo tackling a problem with their distinct personalities.The show had little network support. New episodes premiered Out of Order before the main network dropped the series in January 2013, leaving 3 regular episodes and a half-hour special unaired. From December 2013 to February 2015, three out of four episodes were slowly burned off on the Nicktoons channel, and the remaining episode was released to the Noggin streaming app in March 2015. Additionally, Amazon released a manufacture-on-demand DVD of the complete series, but it was discontinued in 2021.In essence, Robot and Monster was essentially a warmup act for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), which was created by the same people and premiered in the same year. That being said, Robot and Monster wasn't a bad show, it simply couldn't find the right audience at the time, even without the network's antics. At the very least, it was one of the only Nicktoons to receive a 4/5 rating by Common Sense Media.Now has a work-in-progress recap page.Dave Pressler was also a character designer for The Save-Ums! and created another series, How to Do Everything! with Garrick & Marvin, which premiered in 2014.Robot and Monster contains examples of:
