Teddybear Robot Might Murder You But Is Still Cute

When I was young, I had LOTS of toys that were robots. I had a classic robot, I had a Teddy Ruxpin, I had a dog that I could walk, and I had a barbie that was life-sized that I could walk with that wasn’t mechanical at all but that was pretty close to a robot. Et cetera. And they were all, at one point or another, completely terrifying. Like for some reason they’d all turn on sometimes at night randomly? Especially the actual robot. One time I brought it to school and it wouldn’t turn off because it was possessed and terrifying, so my teacher had to take the batteries out. TRAUMA-RAMA™! That one had a “tickle spot” — a button you could press to make it laugh a robot laugh. Man alive. That was a scary thing. Robots are not for children. Until they can make robots turn off and STAY OFF, they should be kept far away from all humans. But instead they are moving in the exact opposite direction, making them artificially intelligent and able to greet you when you walk in the door. Yeah great. Please, more things to scare me when I walk into a room.

What is NCIS? I have no idea, but yesterday I saw this promo on TV, and now I’m planning to watch NCIS, on whatever channel it’s on, at whatever time it’s on, tonight, so I can see how they fit in a demonic talking teddy bear:

I’m hoping for a “The Monkey Is In The Basketball“-type transcendent procedural drama moment. (It’s at 8 on CBS, btw.)
