Edit

"ROBOT WARS is the hit U.K. entertainment series in which members of the public build mechanical fighting machines that take on the program's "house robots" in a gladiator-style competition. It's a mechanically-minded survival-of-the-fittest as teams and individuals compete for glory. Hosted by popular actor Craig Charles (Red Dwarf), with the assistance of Philippa Forrester, the program has been a sensation on BBC2 and now on American public television."
— Official program description from PBS affiliate WNED, September 29 2001[1]

PBS (the Public Broadcasting Service) is a public broadcaster and non-profit organization, operating several television networks across the United States of America. The organization is notable for its emphasis on distributing high-quality programming, particularly documentaries, cultural affairs, educational and children's shows.[2]

Between 2000 and 2002, various PBS-affiliated stations broadcast the original UK run of Robot Wars, marking the televised show's debut on US networks. This predated the commissioning of dedicated TNN and Nickelodeon versions during the same period, along with later broadcasts by TechTV which also left the UK-sourced episodes largely unaltered.

History[]

"The Public Broadcasting Service — created and owned by its Members, the nation's public television stations — exists to serve its Members with programming and services of the highest quality and the imaginative use of technology to advance education, culture and citizenship."
— PBS Mission, 2000[3]

PBS was founded on November 3 1969 as a successor to the similar National Educational Television network. Operations began on October 5 1970, focusing primarily on program distribution and establishing an 'interconnected' network of publicly-owned affiliate (or member) broadcasters. Ownership of the entire network is shared between the affiliate stations, each with their own distinctive identity and programming output. By 2000, a total of 348 non-commercial PBS affiliates were in operation, run by 171 licensees across all 50 states.[4][5]

While not producing any shows of their own, PBS distributes a mix of programming from independent US and international production companies, for broadcasting by affiliates. By the time of Robot Wars' addition, these included other UK-produced content from the BBC, notably drama and comedy series such as Doctor Who, Monty Python's Flying Circus[6] and Red Dwarf. Among the packages provided include the National Program Service, which encompasses 'television's best children's, cultural, educational, news, public affairs, science, nature and skills programs.' These are supplemented by non-commercial programming produced by the individual affiliates, examples of which include the long-running series Nature (WNET) and NOVA (WGBH).[3][7]

A weekly KTEH schedule for January 1-6 2001 confirms that the sister show Techno Games was also broadcast by the Californian affiliate during this time.[8]

Robot Wars[]

PBS broadcasts of Robot Wars began in January 2000, when Pennsylvania-based affiliate WHYY TV 12 commenced airings in the Philadelphia and Wilmington areas. Cable broadcasts also began on Channel 12 in New York and New Jersey around this time.[9][10]

Under the American Public Television (APT) label, PBS networks initially showed The Second Wars largely unaltered from the original BBC broadcasts. This ensured that the roles of Craig Charles, Philippa Forrester and Jonathan Pearce were all preserved for US audiences, the latter even recording a specially-used promotion for the Robot Wars website in place of the UK Robot Wars Club promo.[11][12][13] Episode numbers and multiple network listings suggest that the series was broadcast in its entire 18-episode run, including the Making of Robot Wars, Grudge Matches and Best of Robot Wars specials.[10][14][15]

By March 3 the same year, the official Robot Wars website stated that a total of 36 member stations had picked up the show, a slight increase from the 34 listed by Adam Clark in a January Tinweb discussion board.[16][9] The acquisition of the show by PBS networks was even mentioned in a BBC News article published that July, commenting on the success and toy lines being produced for the UK Series.[17]

In 2001, The Third Wars began airing across different PBS stations, though the exact number to have picked up the series is unclear. Schedules and listings from various affiliates (e.g. KUHT, WHYY TV 12 and WNED) confirm an unaltered 45-minute runtime and the retention of side events such as the Pinball and Robotic Soccer competitions. Intriguingly, some network descriptions of the series mention the canceled Sumo Basho tournament as one of the side competitions taking place.[18][19][1] According to some schedules from WNED and KTEH, Third Wars airings included a twentieth episode as the overall finale, likely to be the otherwise rarely-aired International League Championship.[20]

Though no other series is known to have been picked up by PBS affiliates, an official description released in a WNED schedule acknowledges both The First Wars and the 1994-1997 US competitions preceding it. The former was considered to be a 'pilot' series, with footage only being shown in existing competitor highlights from The Second Wars.[1]

The official TV Parental Guidelines rating for The Second Wars was listed as "TV G" on the Louisiana Public Broadcasting website.[21] However, multiple recordings - including those from Texas-based affiliate KERA - confirm that the majority of episodes received a "TV PG" rating.

Known Airings[]

KAET (Tempe, Arizona)[]

Listing Robot Wars as one of their 'Best Bets' for June 2000, KAET (currently branded Arizona PBS) premiered the show on Saturday 3 that month. Episodes of Series 2 aired in a 10pm primetime slot, though no further broadcasting information from this affiliate is available.[22]

KCET (Los Angeles, California)[]

A single reference to Robot Wars remains on an archived KCET website page from April 2001. The show is listed as airing on a regular Friday 12:30am slot, though no further information is given on which series was being broadcast at the time.[23]

KCTS-TV (Seattle, Washington)[]

Two KCTS listings for Robot Wars remain for Sunday August 20 and Sunday November 12 2000. Each confirms that Series 2 received a weekly 11pm primetime slot, with single episodes airing in a half-hour block.[24][25]

KERA-13/KERA (Dallas, Texas)[]

Broadcasting in the Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton regions, KERA-TV aired Series 2 through its primary KERA 13 channel. Archived VHS recordings - among the only examples currently available for PBS airings - include those from Heats C-D, H-L, both Semi-Finals and the Grand Final. The accompanying idents and onscreen graphic in these recordings suggest that airings continued into 2002, by which time KERA 13 had been rebranded onscreen to simply KERA.[11][12][13]

KERA 13's airings are known to have included two 'Super Bowl Pre-Game Marathons' dedicated to the show; the first airing on January 29-30 2000 to coincide with Super Bowl XXXVI.[16] The second aired on January 27-28 2001, coinciding with Super Bowl XXXV, and is confirmed to have been based around Series 3 (branded on the KERA website as Robot Wars III). The Sunday half of the 2001 marathon is billed as consisting of ten episodes.[26]

Other surviving archives of KERA 13 schedules indicate regular weeknight airings throughout spring and summer 2001. Robot Wars (also referred to by the network as Robot Wars U.K.) was typically scheduled in a 12:30am timeslot, following on from episodes of Red Dwarf. Though no specific series details are given, the half-hour runtime suggests that these were likely repeat airings of Series 2.[27][28][29][30][31]

One schedule from Saturday October 20 2000 suggests a period in which the show received midday airings on KERA 13 in a 12:44pm slot.[32]

KET/The Kentucky Network (Kentucky)[]

An August 2001 'A to Z' program list for KET (The Kentucky Network) specifies Robot Wars as airing in a regular 7:30pm (6:30pm Central Time) slot on Saturday evenings.[33] Episodes being broadcast through this period all originated from Series 2; after airing The Grudge Matches and The Best of Robot Wars on the 5th and 12th respectively, repeats of Heats A and B followed on the 19th and 26th. Episodes were simply referred to by their given numbers, in these instances #217-218 and #201-202. It can thus be assumed that The Making of Robot Wars was aired midway through the main series as has been the case with UK airings.[34][35][36][37]

KLRU (Austin, Texas)[]

Two archived listings exist for KLRU (presently branded onscreen as Austin PBS), dating from Saturday August 5 and 12 2000 respectively. Both indicate that single episodes were once again broadcast after Red Dwarf in an 11:30pm late evening slot.[38][39]

KRMA/Rocky Mountain PBS (Denver, Colorado)[]

According to a program schedule from January 6 2001, Rocky Mountain PBS aired Robot Wars in an 11:30pm timeslot, following Red Dwarf as with KERA and KLRU's airings.[40] The January 2000 Tinweb boards mention their flagship station, KRMA-TV, as having picked up the series, though this is not highlighted in the aforementioned schedule.[9]

KTCA/TPT (St. Paul, Minnesota)[]

"Robots, are you ready to rumble? This program concept, which originated in England, challenges amateur inventors to create technological fighting machines. Viewers see snippets of the creative process, and choose which mechanical marvel to root for when the robots test their mettle in the ring."
— Official TPT description for Robot Wars

The first documented KTCA airings of Series 2, under the TPT (Twin Cities Public Television) brand name, ran between Sunday March 19 and Sunday May 21 2000. Episodes were aired on the main TPT2 channel in a 7pm evening timeslot, the block itself lasting one hour. This suggests that two episodes were broadcast per evening as double bills. Ironically, TPT's description of Robot Wars does not mention the show's origin in the 1994-1997 US competitions of the same name.[41][42]

KTEH (San Jose & San Francisco, California)[]

Though confirmed to be one of the affiliates picking up Series 2 in January 2000, no footage, schedules or further details are available for KTEH's initial airings of this series.[9] However, a schedule from January 6 2002 suggests that the first ten episodes were later repeated in double bills on a Sunday midnight slot.[43] Following a protracted hiatus, the remaining eight were aired in quadruple bills on March 24[44] and March 30 respectively in the same timeslot.[15] The listings - along with individual episode numbers - likely confirm that the Making of Robot Wars, Grudge Matches and Best of Robot Wars specials were all aired alongside the main series episodes.

According to 2001 listings, Series 3 premiered on Sunday March 11, the first two episodes initially airing at 9pm and 10:05pm as a double bill. Repeat broadcasts followed on the early mornings of Saturday March 17 and Saturday March 24, with Heat B also receiving a further 4pm repeat on the latter day.[45][46] Regular airings in a 10pm slot commenced with Heat C on Sunday March 25,[47] with repeats in Friday 1:03am and Saturday 4pm slots, plus further variations thereafter. Documented 4pm repeats - including episodes up to Heat F - were aired immediately prior to the BBC World News bulletin.[48] By May, a 1am Friday slot was settled upon, with frequent repeats on Saturday nights at 10pm.[49][50]

Following a repeat broadcast of the Series 3 Grand Final (episode '#319') on Sunday July 22, the International League Championship (simply referred to as episode '#320') was shown at 10:45pm, with a repeat on July 28 at 1am.[20] This marked a rare occasion in which the special was aired internationally, following its UK premiere on BBC Two on September 15 2000.

KUED (Salt Lake City, Utah)[]

Various archived schedules for KUED (later KUED 7) confirm Robot Wars as consistently airing on Saturday nights throughout 2000 and 2001. A midnight half-hour timeslot for single episodes was adopted on August 5 2000, later changing to 11:30pm on subsequent airings with a repeat at 1am the following morning. The revised late night schedules placed Series 2 in between serials of Doctor Who and repeated episodes of Red Dwarf.[51][52][53]

In addition to these, the show was aired in a 3:30pm afternoon slot on December 17 and 31 2000, though this practice was likely to have been a seasonal variation for the winter holiday period.[54]

KUHT (Houston, Texas)[]

From as early as March 2000, KUHT (branded onscreen as Houston Public Television) aired Series 2 (Robot Wars II) in a Saturday afternoon timeslot. Episodes broadcast around this time are documented to have been shown at 1pm,[55] though the Grand Final and Grudge Matches special switched to a regular 2pm slot by the time of their airings on June 3 and June 10 respectively.[56] Listings for July 1 confirm that The Best of Robot Wars was aired as the series finale; repeats of the entire Second Wars began the following week in the same Saturday 2pm timeslot.[57]

"The hit U.K. entertainment series in which members of the public build mechanical gladiators is back for a brand-new season of tough competition. Series III features a number of new segments, including Pinball, a metal-mashing version of the famous arcade game, Robotic Soccer and Sumo, where tactics as much as brute strength can secure victory."
— KUHT progam description for The Third Wars[18]

On March 17 2001, Series 3 (again referred to as Robot Wars III) premiered on the channel, with Heat A airing at 11:20pm following a repeat broadcast of Blackadder: Back & Forth. Subsequent episodes would consistently be aired in a Saturday 11pm primetime slot, often alongside re-runs of Series 2 the same day which maintained their 2pm afternoon slot. While Series 3, Heat A is documented to have kept a 45-minute runtime, the block allocated to later episodes is suggested to have run for 60 minutes, though the extra contents of this are undetermined.[18][58]

Louisiana Public Broadcasting (Louisiana)[]

Louisiana Public Broadcasting (often shortened to LPB) premiered Series 2 on Saturday April 1 2000, with Heats A and B airing at 11pm and 11:30pm respectively as a double bill.[21]

WCET/WCET48 (Cincinnati, Ohio)[]

While very limited information is available concerning broadcasts by Ohio-based WCET48, a single clip of a Series 2 airing from this network exists. The clip itself - possibly dating from 2001 - features a short extract of the Semi-Final 2 credits, complete with the full Robot Wars website promo.[59]

WCNY (Syracuse, New York)[]

According to a set of WCNY schedules from June and July 2000, Robot Wars was aired both on the main channel and the sister WCNY II network. Episodes broadcast on WCNY took up a regular 11pm primetime slot on Saturday nights throughout those months, following double bills of Eastenders.[60][61] Airings on WCNY II are known to have occurred throughout June in a Sunday 8pm evening slot.[62]

WCVE-TV23 (Richmond, Virginia)[]

Archived listings for June 16-30 2000 suggest that WCVE-TV23 aired Series 2 as double bills on Tuesday nights at 11pm, with single episodes following on Thursdays at 11:30pm. It is unclear whether the Thursday broadcasts were repeats or a continuation of the Tuesday airings.[63]

WEAO & WNEO/PBS 45 & 49 (Youngstown/Akron, Ohio)[]

According to alphabetical program listings for PBS 45 & 49, two episodes per day aired on a Sunday afternoon slot at 4pm and 4:30pm respectively throughout summer 2000. These airings of Series 2 were expected to conclude on September 10, though no information is available on potential repeats or subsequent broadcasts of Series 3.[64][65]

WGBH-TV (Boston, Massachusetts)[]

Information on airings by 'GBH 2 (not to be confused with the Series 6 competitor) remains very limited. However, the official WGBH website lists two consecutive Saturday broadcasts by the channel in 2001; April 7 at 11pm,[66] and April 14 at 10:30am.[67] A full schedule page dating from Sunday July 1 confirms that a double bill of Series 2 aired on this date at 5-6am, in between Industry and Sesame Street.[68]

WGBY (Springfield, Massachusetts)[]

"Get ready to rumble - public-television style! This BBC cult favorite pits mechanical fighting machines built by the public, against the series' "house robots" in a "gladiator-style" competition. Craig Charles (Lister from Red Dwarf) hosts."
— WGBY's official description for Robot Wars[69]

WGBY's first documented airings of Robot Wars took place on Sunday May 21 2000, with two episodes of Series 2 initially being broadcast weekly in 5pm and 5:30pm early evening slots.[69][70] From June 4, only single episodes - beginning with Heat E - would air in an 11pm primetime slot, with the most recent listing available being for August 27.[71][72]

WHYY TV 12 (Pennsylvania, Delaware & New Jersey)[]

"This is the show that originated TV's mechanical gladiator genre. Long before Comedy Central presented the Americanized version, Robot Wars' "house robots" were kicking the aluminum out of challengers' specially-built fighting machines."
— Official WHYY TV 12 description[19]

According to a Tinweb discussion board, WHYY TV 12 was the first affiliate to pick up the UK Series, premiering the entire Series 2 in the Philadelphia/Wilmington area on Thursday January 13 2000. Episodes aired on Thursday nights, with repeats on Saturday and Sunday mornings.[10]

A specific airing in a 1am timeslot is documented for Saturday March 10 2001, as part of WHYY's 'March 2001 Membership Drive'.[73]

Series 3 premiered on April 4 2001, airing on Wednesday nights in an 11:10pm slot.[19]

WKAR-TV (East Lansing, Michigan)[]

One mention of Robot Wars remains in an April 2000 article of the WKAR-TV website, listing it as one of their 'highlights' of that month.[74]

WNED (Buffalo, New York)[]

The earliest available listing from WNED (broadcasting in the Buffalo-Toronto region) is for Saturday January 6 2001, with Series 2 episodes airing throughout winter in a midnight timeslot.[75][76] Unidentified episodes were later scheduled to be repeated on the same half-hour block throughout spring and summer.[77][78][79][80]

Robot Wars continued to be shown on WNED as late as autumn/winter 2001, with the timeslot being doubled from 30 to 60 minutes. An official description from the interim September 29 schedule suggests that Series 3 was due to begin airing throughout this period.[1][81][82]

WPTD 16 (Dayton, Ohio)[]

Part of the ThinkTV umbrella, WPTD (branded as WPTD 16 and ThinkTV 16) is confirmed to have aired Robot Wars in a Saturday 11pm slot according to a June 15 2000 page archive. Single episodes took up a half-hour timeslot, in between The Red Green Show and Red Dwarf.[83]

More substantial records can be found in archived schedules for Saturday August 19 and Saturday August 26 2000. In addition to the 11am primetime slot, WPTD 16 also aired single episodes in a 5:30pm slot, though it is unclear whether these or the 11pm airings were repeat broadcasts.[84][85]

WSBE-TV (Providence, Rhode Island)[]

Archived schedules for WSBE Channel 36 (currently branded Rhode Island PBS) confirm that Series 2 received a regular 10pm primetime slot on Saturday evenings throughout 2000.[86][87][88]

By February 2001, broadcasts of Robot Wars were moved to a 10:30pm slot, with the most recent listings available for the show being for Saturday September 1.[89][90][91][92]

WTTW (Chicago, Illinois)[]

One WTTW airing is confirmed for Sunday June 18 2000, with Robot Wars taking up a 10pm CDT primetime evening slot.[93]

WTVI 42 (Charlotte, North Carolina)[]

Four episodes of Series 2 are documented to have been aired on WTVI 42 on Saturday April 15 2000, in a quadruple bill between 9:30 and 11:30pm. Single episodes were also shown on April 22 and 29 of the same year at 11pm, though no further scheduling information is available.[94]

Unspecified[]

Four additional US recordings of Series 2 from an unidentified affiliate are known to exist. The full recordings include those for Heats A, E, G and C, each identified by the "TV PG" rating, and onscreen graphics indicating the availability of stereo sound.[95]
