About Test Pattern Guy
Expertise
I`m a pop culture freak who loves TV, old and new... ask me about classic TV, new TV, commercials, jingles, cartoons, Saturday morning shows, you name it. If I don`t know it, I can find it out... Believe it or not, I even know some of the infomercials by heart.. "Set it and forget it!"

Experience
Lots of time reading the TV Guide, and way too many nights of insomnia...

Television Trivia - Live-action Japanese Robot show


Expert: Test Pattern Guy - 9/15/2006

Question
Hi again,

It was just the one robot. I've seen pictures from the Space Giants, and that definitely was a different show. I remember that the giant robot in the show I'm thinking of was kept in a Cape Kennedy type launch facility, and he would usually take off like a rocket. I saw this show in the early 70's, so I'm guessing it was from the 60's.

Thanks again!

Hi, I'm trying to find out the name of a live-action 60's era Japanese show that I watched as a kid. It had a kid that could call on a giant robot (this was NOT Ultraman, at least not the familiar one). The robot looked like a silver metallic Egyptian Pharaoh, with a Pharoahs' headdress. The kid could fly around with a jet-pack or something, and wore a white suit and helmet. The white suit had some kind of red emblem on it. The giant robots' fingers were missiles, and I believe the robot also flew by virtue of jets or rockets in his back. I've asked friends over the years if they ever saw this show, and they usually say "oh, wasn't that Ultraman?", but it wasn't! Thanks!

Answer -
Hi, T...

I think you're looking for a show that had the American title of "Space Giants." Were there three robots or just the one? Let me know... if not, we'll find it... I can tell you, though, it definitely is NOT Ultraman... I was and still am a die-hard Ultraman fan...

Let me know!

Answer
Hi, T...

Do you know if there's any other design that Ultra Man had? This question is driving me NUTS! I KNOW I have seen this robot somewhere.... but I cannot find it, either in my head or in my resources....

Lemme know if you remember ANYthing else.... I WANT the answer to this, and we'll find it...

Later,

TPG
