Anybody remember some old cartoon show called something like
"TOBOR the Eight man"? I remember the TOBOR part since it is
just the reverse of ROBOT.

It was this HUGE robot that was controlled by a kid with a remote
control device. I always thought it was neat (back then) when
the kid lost the device or was out of range or something. And here
was this building of a robot that no one could move or destroy.
Then the kid would be able to wake him up and have the box of wire
and servos save the day.

Any recollections??

How 'bout CAPTAIN SCARLET? I saw lots of that while living on Long
Island, but out here in the Midwest no one has ever heard of it.
Finally, I saw someone's STARLOG magazine that showed some pictures
of the marionette-charactered show.

Anyone else in net.land see it??
