The opening sequence, in which Robot Jones is factory assembled and inserted into a school bus, is an homage to that of 1980s children's show "You Can't Do That on Television". When the title of the show is spoken, a group of young children voice the "Whatever Happened to..." part in unison while the "Robot Jones?" part is done by a Macintosh Macintalk voice known as Trinoids. The first season has children speaking out episode titles while season 2 episode titles are spoken by voices of the characters.
