As a child back in the mid-nineties, I can recall seeing an episode of a TV Show originally on the air (I believe either 80s or early 90s) about a robot that resembled an average human. The robot in question was played by an adolescent man (so no, this isn't Small Wonders). I can recall one moment in the episode in which the robot was trying to go through a metal detector, but obviously being made of metal, he kept making it go off. The robot even went down to his boxers and set it off and by that point the security guards assumed something was wrong with the metal detector and let him go.
Anyone know the title of the show?
