   Review by drmorbius79 ★★★ 5. This film (written and directed by Arch Oboler) is quite bonkers and really lifted my spirits tonight. Character actor Hans Conried, the voice of Disney's Captain Hook, takes on a fascist robot from the future disguised as a walking TV set. It helps him shave and cures hangovers but it also wants to stamp out ...

   Here the Twonky is a little TV set that interferes with his life. It stumbles around the house, manipulated by stagehands you can almost see from time to time. It lights his cigarettes, cleans his dishes, answers his phone with a monotone, robot voice. And it sobers him up instantly with a zap ray, and when anyone else threatens it, it zaps ...

   The robot-like set (the Twonky) uses rays to do helpful things (it lights his cigarettes, creates counterfeit $5 notes, empties the dishwasher, shaves him, vacuums the house), but it also walks around awkwardly, uses the phone and makes unwanted value judgements (like breaking his classical records – because the Twonky wants to listen to marching music).

   Reviews of the movie were unkind. Variety merely wrote, "Briefly, it's unbelievably bad," while the writer for the Hollywood Reporter said, "There's a cute idea behind The Twonky, but the basic premise is so smothered by a flood of dull dialogue that it becomes completely lost. Arch Oboler produced, directed and scripted, scoring a clean miss ...

   Does Twonky work on a PC?

   • There is a work around if you have a twonky server; I tried both my NAS and PC versions of twonky and they seemed to work. If you set up the Twonky server to "aggregate" the panasonic boxes; you also need to set the "media receiver" to advanced view; the media receiver is the PC you are running SoftDMA 2 on.

   Story about a man and his Twonky. A robot TV that lights his cigarettes, vacuums his floor, and uses mind control on anyone who tries to destroy it. About this movie, "I have no complaints". It was whacky, bizarre, nuttiest movie I have ever seen. It scares kids who watch this movie. Some give it a bad review, but just enjoy it for what it is ...
