    I am writing an article for a client about robots and an old memory came to mind. Do any of you remember “The Great Tobar?” It was a short lived television show way back in 1954. I was only nine years old and don’t remember a thing about the show but I do remember my older brother terrorizing me pretending he was really Tobar! With his arms outstretched he would come at me in the evenings when there was only enough light to see his silhouette. “I am Tobar”, he would say, “I must kill you now!” He was only twelve, but sure knew how to scare me!

    Wait that is true, Tobor is robot spelled backwards I didn't realize that at first when I read to OP. As for the show well it was a little before my time. Sorry, I was born in 1965 so I never heard of this show till now. I have never even seen it in reruns I guess because it was so short lived. .
