	Season 1 / Episode 4: - Day of the Robot Col. Steve Austin: You know, between your footcramp and this flat tire, we're never gonna make it.
	Season 1 / Episode 4: - Day of the Robot Col. Steve Austin: [the robot posting as Fred Sloan has driven a car off the road] Well, that was fun. Robot: I'm sorry Steve, I got a cramp in my foot.

CONT: The photograph that the robot's makers show the robot changes from shot to shot.
FAKE: After Steve drops the steel girder, it bounces and wiggles as if made of rubber.

First use of the trademark "zoom with reticle" effect for Steve's eye. Before this, the effect was a green or red filter on a film or video source, with no reticle or sound effect.
The robot sound effect is recycled from How to Frame a Figg (1971).
