Giant Robot
How can I give a intro.... This is probabally the only thing I remember related to TV in the 80's ( somewhere between 86-88 ). This was a TV show which used to come in Doordarshan. Now a days I see kids fixed to their TV set watching Power Rangers and other similar shows. In our days it was only "Giant Robot" ( Original title: Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot ). I found some videos posted in Youtube ( I didnot beleive it  ) and wanted to get some memories back of fellow digitians

Ok now for the fun stuff.. I was LMAO when I read it. some quote from the website by a indian guy named Vishal Patel .
Quote:
It's been ages since anyone's seen an episode of this show... for some reason they never showed it again. So let's do the next best thing: let's reconstruct from memory and create our own Giant Robot episode!
(Theme music: too too to too, too too to too, to to too to too too...)
UNICORN Commander: Gentlemen, even though we are an international police organisation with military bases around the globe, we are completely fu**** useless without Johnny Sokko. So it gives me great pleasure to present him with this standard issue cool orange helmet. Wear it with pride.
Agent U-4: But Commander, that's my helmet. I use it to impress the lay-dees.
UNICORN Commander: Dammit, Agent U-4. When you command a 500-ton papier mâchè robot, we'll get you another helmet. Now quit whining or I'll confiscate your Tamagotchi.
Johnny Sokko: Thank you, Commander. I'll put it on right away so I can practice walking into brick walls.
UNICORN Commander: That boy is going places.
Meanwhile, in the secret underwater spaceship of Emperor Guillotine...
Emperor Guillotine: I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're Big in Japan. When you're big in Japan, tonight... Big in Japan, be tight....
Dr. Botanus: Sorry to interrupt you, Emperor, but there's an incoming transmission from Gargoyle headquarters.
Emperor Guillotine: Ah, Silver Guy. Where have you been?
Dr. Botanus: For the last time, sir, my name is Dr Botanus.
Emperor Guillotine: Nonsense. You know the kids are never going to remember that name. Silver Guy it is.

Ah..Those were the days, i would wait a whole week just to see this one serial which was the top fav among all childrens. We always used to imitate the robots initial moves (b4 flying) & his commanders wrist watch styled communication whenever we friends fought/played.
Thanks 4 the link, these days cartoons (most of them) does not give the same fun like that of JS & the FR.
I wish doordarshan retelecasts the whole thing again.
