Differences from the book[]

  • Linda the tour guide and Russ Denver the director are absent.
  • In the book, Mr. Wright plans to fix the bugs on the robot kids, but in the episode, he replaces them with completely new ones.
  • The ending is extended. After they reveal that Erin and Marty are robots, they turn back on and gang up on him, saying even robots deserve to live.

  • In the book, Marty is turned off by going through Shockero's House of Shocks, which turns out to be him malfunctioning. In the episode, Mr. Wright turns him off.
