Johnny Sokko and His Flying’Giant’ Robot
I am at present narrating the adventurous encounters of Giant Robot to my 6 year old niece and 5 year old nephew. This is like going back to my childhood, during 1980s, where the only TV entertainment was our great Doordarshan. After the Krishi Darshan I used to wait for Giant Robot’s “saving-the-earth-from-many-monsters“ action . I believe this was the first sci-fi series on Doordarshan.
After almost 25 years, thanks to youtube, am again enjoying this great series “ Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot”( originaly made in Japanese, Jaianto Robo) along with my niece and nephew. And the best part is that they have become great fans of Giant Robot and Johnny Sokko. Even after half a dozen, 24 hours kids channels with enumerable characters, Johnny Sokko and his Giant robot could excite them.
Most thrilling moment of the episode, when Johnny Sokko opens his watch and say ” C ‘ mon Giant Robot”!
There is one website created for Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot fans http://www.johnnysokko.com/

Giant Robot was so much fun! I’m desperately trying to find an action figure to keep on my desk!
Very true Dhruv
I was in 7th standard when they used to show this on doordarshan in the evening.Me and all the other kids were crazy about the show. Now when i saw giant robot on veoh ( there are may be about 18 or so episodes available on veoh ) i found it very funny and childish. Kids today won’t even see this show but for us when we were young it was a cool show.
Dhruv, hope you will get your super hero soon
Yeah Kishore, even I used to wait for this show, thanks for the comment
