However, lurking in a secret base in the school air ducts, there are two evil brothers that wish to steal Robot's brain and use it to control the minds of everyone in the school. The show was ultimately Too Good to Last, since it had little network support and no kids understood many of the jokes. Aired from 2002 to 2003, with only 13 episodes. It should be noted it was one of the finalists in the the "Big Pick" event in 2002 where viewers were allowed to pick the next show. It lost out to The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy but got picked up anyway after some time. So yeah "Whatever Happened To..." indeed.
