I don't know why exactly, but it seems like every single cartoon, whether it's old or new, HAS TO HAVE an episode where:
1 - Character A meets/builds/finds a robot
2 - Character B (or more characters) react to it
3 - Character A claims that the robot will "make X easier" or "change our lives forever"
4 - Robot does whatever's claimed, but suddenly starts to go haywire and becomes evil
5 - The characters (mostly character A) have to either destroy the robot or do something else with it
6 - Episode ends
It's EXACTLY IN THAT ORDER
It's in EVERY. SINGLE. DARN. CARTOON!
It's even in cartoons I've already watched and came to love (like TMNT 2012 with the episode "Metalhead")
I have absolutely NO IDEA why it's a rule to do this (or even IF it's an actual rule), but there's normally no alterations to the whole episode concept, no matter the show.
I want to do my own cartoons in the future and I just hope the networks don't force me to do this kind of thing :D
