a5c7b9f00b This followup to the theatrical films &quot;Westworld&quot; and &quot;Futureworld&quot; features John Moore, Security Chief of the Delos Corporation, the company that created the killer robots seen in the films. Now Moore must deal with an evil scientist named Quaid, who has taken control of the lifelike Delos robots, and plans to use them in his plot to conquer the world. The security chief of an android manufacturing company must stop a mad scientist, who&#39;s sending the failed theme park&#39;s androids to infiltrate society for his own ends. Largely forgotten TV series spun-off from the two successful films &quot;Westworld&quot; and &quot;Futureworld&quot; is a total dud unfortunately. Premise of rogue scientist Simon Quaid(James Wainwright) hijacking the androids of Delos to infiltrate and conquer the world, and the attempts of it&#39;s security chief John Moore(Jim McMullan) to stop him makes little sense, either within the continuity of the two films, or even within the constraints of logic, since Moore always seems to go it alone(with the help of fellow agent Pam Williams, played by Connie Selleca) when a threat of this magnitude should be handled by the FBI or other agencies right? Apparently not… Plots of the 5 episodes are dismayingly trite and mundane, failing to involve the viewer in any way, and it all ends inconclusively, making this series a waste of time.<br/><br/>Now on DVD from Warner Archive, so people can judge for themselves. A lot of people don&#39;t know this show exists because it came and went so quickly. This obscure TV program had the premise of at least one character being a robot in disguise who was up to no good. For this reason I call it the &quot;Guess Who is a Robot?&quot; show. For early 80&#39;s TV it is watchable but compared to the movies WESTWORLD and FUTUREWORLD it is pretty lame. The ratings must have really been in the toilet for the network to cancel the show after only 5 episodes! It was interesting to see the cast list of guest stars which include Robert Alda, Rene Auberjonois, Ronee Blakely, Christopher Connelly, Monte Markham, Michael Pataki and George Takei amongst others.
