The series follows Detective Holmes and his new android partner Yoyo, on their adventures and misadventures, as Holmes teaches Yoyo what it is like to be human, while trying to keep his quirky partner's true nature a secret from criminals and fellow cops. PlotDetective Alexander Holmes is a down-on-his-luck cop who constantly injures his partners. The department gives him a new partner, Gregory "Yoyo" Yoyonovich. Yoyo, as he likes to be called, is clumsy and naive, but good-natured. And because of his mechanical origins, he is very strong. During one of their first cases together, Yoyo is shot, and Holmes discovers that his new partner is an android, a sophisticated new crime-fighting machine designed by the police department as their secret weapon on crime. "You're not a person!" is Holmes' stunned response. Cast
ProductionDevelopmentThe executive producer was Leonard Stern, a former staff writer for and executive producer of Get Smart, which featured an android character named Hymie who was, in most respects, a prototype for Yoyo. Several episodes of Holmes & Yoyo were directed by John Astin.[2] Joint series lead John Schuck also appeared as SFPD Detective SGT Charles Enright in the McMillan And Wife made-for-television films that starred Rock Hudson alongside Susan Saint James, of which Stern was also creator and executive producer. Yoyo's abilitiesBesides super-strength, Yoyo's other abilities include speed reading, and the ability to analyze clues at the scene. Yoyo had a built-in Polaroid camera: each time his nose was pressed, a Polaroid photograph of his view would be taken and ejected from his shirt pocket. Yoyo's control panel was built into his chest, which could be opened by pulling his tie. The level of Yoyo's batteries was critical, because if they ran down his memory and, effectively, his being would be erased. In one episode his batteries came very close to running down completely, and he was charged by being pushed against an electric fence with his arms extended. Yoyo weighed 427 pounds, and his heavy build could absorb the shock of a bomb. Much of the show's comedy was derived from Yoyo's constant malfunctions. Some of his common problems included:
Another running gag involved Yoyo's ability to read an entire book by simply fanning its pages; his invariable comment after doing so was, "Thanks for the book! I really enjoyed reading it." Episodes
ReceptionToday, Holmes & Yoyo is considered one of the worst television series ever made. It ranked number 33 on TV Guide's List of the 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time.[4] Although the series lasted only 13 episodes (undaunted by the failure of the series, ABC green-lighted a similar concept the same season called Future Cop with Ernest Borgnine alongside Michael Shannon; it had the same lack of success as Holmes & Yoyo), the influence of Holmes & Yoyo can be felt in other "robot cop" series and films that followed, most notably the RoboCop films and TV series{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} and the 1993 series Mann & Machine, which used the same premise as Holmes & Yoyo but had more serious storylines and a female robot instead of the stout Yoyonovich. The 2013 series Almost Human once again revisits the theme. Home mediaHolmes & Yoyo was released in France on Region 2 DVD on October 5, 2016 under the title "Holmes et Yoyo - Intégrale de la série". However, audio is French language only, with no English language option.{{Citation needed|date=December 2017}} References1. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074005/ | title="Holmes and Yo-Yo" (1976)}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/holmesandyoyo_7773405.shtml | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040523083752/http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/holmesandyoyo_7773405.shtml | title=BBC - Comedy Guide - Holmes And Yoyo | archivedate=2004-05-23}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tvparty.com/recholmes.html | title=Holmes and Yo-Yo}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.imdb.com/list/mDvV5MEpAeM/ | title = TV Guide's 50 Worst Shows of All Time}} External links
