Y’know, this reminds me of the utterly insane redemption of Darth Vader.

There is a tvtropes page containing plot summaries in this style, which turn out to be valid for two or more completely unrelated stories/books/movies/series.

That would be Twiki, voiced by Mel Blanc ("biddi-biddi-biddi"). Although for a couple of episodes in the second season the voice was provided by Bob Elyea.Thargoid wrote:OK, quick and easy one as I'm in a rush.
In the late 70's/early 80's TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, what was the name of the robot sidekick and who provided his voice?

I remember the ad Warner ran when Mel Blanc died - it was all the cartoon characters stood off to one side with an an empty mike on the other and a single word "Speechless" - very poignant.El Viejo wrote:... and did he have a list of voices on his CV, or what!Commander McLane wrote:voiced by Mel Blanc
