The Omnipotent Voice first appears in the second episode and is partly responsible for bringing the eight people together in the neighborhood. The voice orders the other characters around. The Voice is part of a very high-tech system, with itself being a modulator to disguise Scientist Sam's voice. The Omnipotent Voice can project itself with a television or computer and controls the images on the television screen or computer monitor when it does this. The voice seems at times to want to befriend the cast ("Ha ha. Good one, Wade!"), while at other times, seeks only to boss them around for fun ("Silence, assorted stereotypes!"). In Episode 11, the voice is revealed to be behind the conspiracy that Griggs often rants on about. In Episode 16, Scientist Sam reveals this was all part of an elaborate scheme by future-world TV execs to run an experiment to get new TV show ideas. During the last episodes he continually states that he "just works there". Ironically, the ending of episode 17 states that he is now unemployed.

Famous quotes containing the words omnipotent and/or voice:
“We are compelled by the theory of God’s already achieved perfection to make Him a devil as well as a god, because of the existence of evil. The god of love, if omnipotent and omniscient, must be the god of cancer and epilepsy as well.... Whoever admits that anything living is evil must either believe that God is malignantly capable of creating evil, or else believe that God has made many mistakes in His attempts to make a perfect being.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
