Reception
Today, Holmes & Yoyo is considered one of the worst television series ever made. it ranked number 33 on TV Guide's List of the 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time. Although the series lasted only 13 episodes (undaunted by the failure of the series, ABC green-lighted a similar concept the same season called Future Cop with Ernest Borgnine; it had the same success as Holmes & Yoyo), the influence of Holmes & Yoyo can be felt in other "robot cop" series and films that followed, most notably the RoboCop films and TV series, and the 1993 series, Mann & Machine which used the same premise as Holmes & Yoyo, only with more serious storylines and a sexy female robot instead of the stout Yoyonovich.
