My Brother the Robot is about a father, daughter and a robot son. It is set in the future. The dad is an inventor, and he is trying to perfect his new robot, the R4. He wants to make it more human-like than any robot ever invented, so he makes it like a child.

He trusts his daughter, Bobby, to help the robot learn. Bobby has always wanted a younger brother, just like her online friends. She wants someone to play with and keep her company as her dad is always busy and after a while she gets lonely playing on her net goggles all by herself.

Bobby and the robot get on very well—they have lots of fun as the robot learns all about the world around him and he's often naughty—just like a real little brother.

There's lots of singing and dancing. I liked this show because it had good actors, good lyrics and it was a really good story. The costumes were really awesome.
