I dunno. The entire Star Wars franchise has a realy squidgy take on droid sapience vs. enslavement. I'm uncomfortable with the entire thing. And it goes totally unaddressed. I think we're too ashamed to nominate the Star Wars droids.

The failed pilot (K-9 and Co., with Sarah Jane) aired on some (most?) PBS stations as a sort of extra Dr. Who episode. Never went beyond that one pilot episode. Sarah Jane got her own show in the 2000s for a while though! It… was OK.

Word up to Konky… also a toy.
Mentioning Gigantor & Power Rangers, unleashes too many Japanese manga & anime robots, but the first would be Astroboy / Mighty Atom… the weaponized “Pinocchio”…. also many toys…
A major one from late 60s Japan TV, Giant Robo… or the US’s quasi-racist title for the show, Johnny Socko & his Giant Robot… also a toy.
Dont b ridiculous, Westworld is filled w robots, that look like humans… like rogue historical “robots” from the Disney* Hall of Presidents…
Mentioning “robot limbs”… The Six Million Dollar Man vs. the Death Probe, a Russian space program Venus robot probe, gone rogue crash landing in the US made of a secret indestructible Russian metal alloy. This was late-70s Cold War… also a toy…
Another vehicle robot, 80s Knight Rider K.I.T.T. robot Trans Am… also a toy, ofc.
