He's legendary indeed. RIP I rather call B9 the Bubble Headed Booby. http://www.pythononline.co.uk/lismemories/show_crew_robert_kinoshita.asp Knew those treads won't take B9 over rough terrain, lol!

hamradio Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm the only poster replying? No Robby the Robot fans on the board? Must be planned obsolescence again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sorry, not a big robot fan here. But Robert Kinoshita did a lot of sets for the ZIV tv shows in the 50's. I see his name in the credits for most of the HIGHWAY PATROL episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
