Hallmark's Front of the Class
Starring Patricia Heaton and Treat Williams, Hallmark Hall of Fame presents the triumphant story of Brad Cohen, a man who overcomes incredible obstacles to become a gifted teacher.
When he was growing up, Brad started making funny noises - all the time. Only Brad (and his supportive mother) knew he couldn't control it. He was teased, misunderstood and punished for disrupting class.
By the time he is diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, Brad has learned to hate school. When an understanding school principal offers encouragement, amazingly, Brad decides to become a teacher - the teacher he never had. But who in their right mind would put someone with Tourette's in front of the class?
Even after 24 schools turned him down, Brad refused to give up. Discover what happens when one school finally gives him a chance. Brad Cohen's resilience and determination changed his life. His story may change yours.

Best Evil Robots
Guide Note: What makes a robot turn evil? Is it a flaw in their programming, some sort of correctable human error? Or is it an inevitable outcome of artificial intelligence, a necessary consequence of humankind's attempts to create life in its own image? For whatever reason, the following robots have all chosen to travel a dark path, using their mechanical advantages against their human masters. Be warned: not all of these videos are appropriate for minors or other sensitive types. We are, after all, talking evil robots here.
Fast Facts:
- Incapable of mercy or remorse
- Sometimes self-destruct when presented with paradoxes
- Frequently feature blinking red eyes
- Susceptible to molten steel, explosions, love
- Must be capable of self-motility, thus disqualifying HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Did we miss any truly insidious robots? Let us hear about it on the message board.
Mechagodzilla
- Submitted By:
Matts
- The original Mechagodzilla was a weapon designed by aliens from a black hole known as the Simeons. Disguised with a life-like synthetic Godzilla skin, it ravaged Japan until the true Godzilla appeared and exposed the metallic skin beneath. Eventually, Godzilla teamed with King Cesar and decapitated the menace. The Simeons tried again a year later with a newer model... and much later, a mechanized battledroid made from Godzilla's own DNA turned on its makers to obliterate Tokyo!
- Extra Credit: The original Mechagodzilla was rated the 15th Best Movie Robot by the Times... even over C-3PO, the T-1000, and Optimus Prime!

Evil Bill and Ted
- Submitted By:
Lon
- These evil robot dudes, sent from the future by the insidious Chuck De Nomolos, most heinously try to destroy our heroes and take their place in Wyld Stallions. They look amazingly similar to the Terminator robots underneath their imitation skin...Could the Bill and Ted's and Terminator series be happening in the same universe? Does this mean George Carlin is going to show up in the Sarah Conner Chronicles? That might help liven things up a bit.

Cylons
- Submitted By:
Deanmachine777
- Apparently they've come out with a new version of Battlestar Galactica? One with human-looking Cylons...with, like, normal eyes and voices?! Hmm...not sure how they could be as sinister as the original '70s version, with that crazy vocoder voice ("By Your Command!") and the one red blip of an eye flittering back and forth across their shiny noggins. OK, so the real Cylons were a bunch of lizards who created the robots that Glen A. Larson ended up calling "Cylons"...call 'em what you will, but those unstoppable hunks of metal—admittedly lite versions of an Imperial stormtrooper—scared the bejeezus out of me in 1978.
- YouTube: Cylon Screen Test (Time: 0:33)
- Wikipedia: Cylon (Battlestar Galactica)
Maximillian
- Submitted By:
Nicole gustas
- Speaking of '70s robots with one red eye, who can forget Maximillian from The Black Hole? Responsible for the first on-camera evisceration in a Disney film, Maximillian tormented weaker robots (poor B.O.B.!), lobotomized the human crew of the Cygnus to make them the captain's slaves, and programmed the escape pod to go straight into the black hole. Plus, when we get a view of Hell at the end of the film, he's Satan. When a robot is Satan, you know he's eeeeeeeeeeevil!
- Warning: This video is extremely violent.

The Pink Robots
- Submitted By:
Lon
- Evil, world-conquering machines want nothing more than to devour Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. His only hope turns out to be the eponymous Yoshimi, heroine of the band's 2002 concept album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. The character, allegedly based on The Boredoms' Yoshimi P-We, is both a black belt in karate and a health freak, which, you know, helps.

The Gunslinger
- Submitted By:
Lon:
- Not to be confused with the Stephen King character of the same name, this "Gunslinger" was portrayed by Yul Brenner in the film Westworld, from novelist Michael Crichton. A theme park attraction run amok, The Gunslinger inspired the similarly-evil Itchy and Scratchy robots from The Simpsons, not to mention the writer's own Jurassic Park, in which non-robot theme park attractions wipe out puny humans. Though programmed to lose every duel to his human adversary, The Gunslinger quickly tires of this pattern and decides instead to kill James Brolin and chase around Richard Benjamin, refusing to give up even after being burned with a torch and melted with acid. He even shows up for the sequel no one bothered to see, Futureworld! Now that's the kind of dedication you can only get with evil robots.

Bigfoot on The Six Million Dollar Man
- Submitted By:
Bill:
- Yes, he was a robot. Capitalizing on the Bigfoot phenomena of the 1970s, the writers of the Six Million Dollar Man decided to make Bigfoot the creation of a research team of aliens. Bigfoot would have two encore performances before the end of the series with The Return of Bigfoot and Bigfoot V. A final curtain call came when Jaime Sommers encountered Bigfoot on yet another Return of Bigfoot. It turns out Sasquatch decided to stay on earth and is in the process of becoming an organic being, half good, but still half robot.

Hector
- Submitted By:
Kenbothe:
- Hector the robot is originally built to be an assistant for a space mission, but he soon goes from creepy robot helper to creepy robot homicidal maniac. After taking on the murderous tendencies of his creator, Hector also develops a strong desire for Farrah Fawcett. What results is a chase through the spaceship where somehow a slow, clumsy robot is constantly able to sneak up on everyone.
- YouTube: Saturn 3 Trailer
- Wikipedia: Saturn 3
Cut Man
- Submitted By:
Lon:
- Surely the most villainous of all the Robot Masters from the Mega Man series of video games, Cut Man was initially designed by Dr. Light to perform deforestation work. So already, even if he fulfilled his original intended duty, it's kind of evil, and involves killing. The fact that he turns truly nasty and tries to slice our tiny blue hero just puts him right over the top, not to mention how clearly he enjoys his cruel work, clapping every time he tosses his scissors at you. I mean, who would even design a robot named "Cut Man"? You just know that machine's going to run amok and try to kill humans. It's right there in the name! He'll cut you!
- YouTube: Mega Man Bosses: Cut Man (Time: 0:51)
- Wikipedia: Mega Man (video game)
T-1000
- Submitted By:
Adam:
- A list of the best evil robots simply isn't complete without including the T-1000 from Terminator 2. The T-1000 is constructed of mimetic poly-alloy, or liquid metal, and can shape shift into almost any form. It can transform its hands into blades (also the "Jaws of Life"), absorb shotgun blasts, and even mimic fat security guards... plus, it looks hella cool when it runs!
- YouTube: Terminator 2 (Time: 8:05)
- IMDb: T-1000 (Character)
- Wikipedia: T-1000
Bicentennial Man
- Submitted By:
C.k.
- I defy anyone to watch the trailer for Bicentennial Man without feeling your soul in peril. Not only is Bicentennial Man singlehandedly responsible for destroying Robin Williams' career, but it's just plain evil through and through. Director Chris Columbus must be a sick, depraved individual to have thought: "Hey, I think I'll follow up on Mrs. Doubtfire with a sequel of sorts. Except instead of a cross-dressing man invading the privacy of his ex-wife's life, I'll have a robot, played by the same actor, infiltrate a family! Over the course of 200 years, he can trick everyone into acknowledging him as a sentient being, all the while waiting and biding his time, trying to marry the youngest daughter of the family! Then when that doesn't work out, I'll have him fall in love with her daughter!" Creepy! Meanwhile, as we all know from The Terminator franchise, sentient robots = doomsday.

Lore
- Submitted By:
Nicole gustas:
- On Star Trek: The Next Generation, kindly, loving android Data (played by Brent Spiner) had an evil twin. Don't they all? Lore (also conveniently played by Brent Spiner) was, unlike Data, merciless, amoral, and lacking an off switch. He wiped out an entire planet, killed his creator, Noonien Soong (also conveniently played by Brent Spiner...notice a trend?), and, oh yeah, created a personal army of Borg to kill everyone in the universe for his own personal amusement while brainwashing Data to assist him in galactic domination. Yes, he's so evil he makes Data bad and the Borg even more evil than they were in the first place! And he would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that darn Picard!
- YouTube: Datalore preview
- Memory Alpha: Lore
Sentinels
- Submitted By:
Lon
- Three-story-tall killing machines primarily concerned with wiping out X-Men, The Sentinels are despised even by their creator, Dr. Bolivar Trask. Originally designed to protect humanity from the threat of mutants, the Sentinels (as all fictitious robots do) soon turned on their master, deciding that...wait for it...the only way to save humanity was to rule over it. This seems to happen all the time. Perhaps robot inventors should just create a little bit of code reminding their creations that humanity is better served by being free than imprisoned, even if a firm robot hand is the most efficient way of keeping us all in line. These guys are so evil, they're bent on world domination without even being self-aware! Beat that, Cyberdyne Systems!
- YouTube: X-Men: The Animated Series: Night of the Sentinels, Part 1 (Time: 10:00)
- Wikipedia: Sentinel (comics)
RepliCarter
- Submitted By:
Nicole gustas:
- The show Stargate SG-1 never met a Star Trek trope it didn't take to the next level. Much like Lore, RepliCarter is an evil duplicate of the show's super-brainy scientist-soldier (Sam Carter). She kills her creator, makes a murderous cybernetic army follow her, and starts an intergalactic war to remake the universe in her own image. Sound familiar? But Lore wishes he had her power. Multitasking like some evil cybernetic soccer mom, she sends spidery robots around the galaxy to do her evil bidding and destroy everyone while sticking a free hand into Daniel Jackson's brain to get all his knowledge. She's so evil, she gets the humans and the Goa'uld to stop hatin' on each other and join together to fight her. And she kills Daniel Jackson along the way - but doesn't everyone?
- YouTube: Stargate SG-1: Reckoning trailer
- The Stargate Omnipedia: Replicator Carter
Pimpbot 5000
- Submitted By:
Lon
- A long-time guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Pimpbot 5000 proves that it really is hard out here for a pimp, even one with an automated switchblade and advanced wiring. Though his penchant for physical violence and rampant misogyny is entirely evil, Pimpbot's hardly the most effectual robot villain on this list...no matter how many rhymed threats he dispensed, he never did collect all that money Conan apparently owed him. You've got to admit, though, he embodies the flair of a 1970's street pimp expertly.
- Motto: "Got a brand new high speed modem and a silver-plated scrotum."

- Wikipedia: Late Night with Conan O'Brien
The Robot from "We're In Business"
- Submitted By:
Markf
- This music video by Andrew Thompson is proof that you should never, never fool yourself into thinking it is okay to love or befriend a robot. If you let them into your life, they will only cause ruin. This video is a warning...
- YouTube: Andrew Thompson's We're In Business Music Video
Megatron
- Submitted By:
Andy
- If all of the evil robots in the universe were to get together for one final no-holds-barred cage match, I'd have to put my money on the megalomaniacal, gun-wielding mechanoid known as Megatron. As the leader of the super-evil Decepticons, Megatron is known throughout the universe for his brutal wit and ruthless devotion to the eradication of all nice robots. Add to that the fact that he can transform himself into a Walther P38 (the service pistol used by Nazis in WW2) and you have one evil robot.
- Motto: "Peace Through Tyranny!"
- YouTube: Transformers: Megatron Kicking Ass
- Wikipedia: Megatron
SID 6.7
- Submitted By:
Travis
- "Just because I'm carrying the joy of killing your family inside me doesn't mean we can't be friends." What happens when you take 183 personalities consisting of serial killers, terrorist and tyrants and place them into an android? You get SID 6.7 - Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous. Designed to test and train the Los Angeles police in a virtual reality world, SID jumps into the real world so he can have fun by say, conducting the screams of hostages like an orchestra. Hey, whoever said an artificially intelligent psychopathic killer can't be cultured?

Chopping Mall Robots
- Submitted By:
Kenbothe:
- It sounds like a fun enough idea: break into the local shopping mall for an after-hours, alcohol fueled teen sex party. But instead of your typical rent-a-cop security guards patrolling the mall, you have little killer robots. That'll turn any party sour. These little buggers shoot to kill (with lasers!) without warning. Don't even think about trying to swipe pennies from the fountain.
- YouTube: Chopping Mall Trailer
- Wikipedia: Chopping Mall
- IMDb: Chopping Mall
Science Officer Ash
- Submitted By:
Jonathan h
- Not only was Alien ahead of its time in terms of the science fiction macabre, but it also foreshadowed a frequent villain that would pop up during the '80s: The Evil Corporate Tool. Ash (portrayed by Ian Holm), was untrustworthy right from the start, but only Ellen Ripley had the foresight and instinctual distrust of medical officers to suspect that he was really a white-blooded android programmed by Weyland-Yutani to bring back discovered alien life forms at all costs. At all costs, in this case, meant the lives of seven crew members (plus Jones, but who cares about the cat?)
- "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. I admire its purity. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."
- Wikipedia: Ash from Alien
ED-209
- Submitted By:
Lon
- Robocop's greatest adversary, ED-209, was designed to protect people. Instead, first chance he gets, he malfunctions and starts murdering greedy corporate executives. Actually, on second thought, ED might not be evil at all. Perhaps he just got a bit confused. It'd be an easy enough mistake to make.
- Warning: This video is extremely violent.
- YouTube: Robocop: ED-209 (Time: 3:03)

IG-88
- Submitted By:
Jonathan h
- Despite Star Wars' complete alteration of the science fiction landscape, the series has relatively few evil robots (General Grievous is too new to appear on this list, and Darth Vader is still technically human.) Thank goodness for IG-88, the softspoken bounty hunter robot whose head looks like a cotton candy machine. It may have looked as though Darth Vader was bellowing "No Disintegrations" only to Boba Fett, but IG-88's ears (err...chrome mic phalanges?) were certainly wide open. According to post-saga literature, IG-88 followed Boba Fett to Cloud City, where the more experienced bounty hunter destroyed him. They should have listened to Admiral Piett when he said "Bounty Hunters, we don't need their scum."
