I'm not sure what made me think of these guys today, but for some reason I did. Then I thought "There can't possibly be any of their stuff on the tube." What a suprise! I remember watching their show, and their prior performances on the Carol Burnet Show. I was about 12 yrs. old then, but I had such a (silent) crush on Robert Shields.
@freein2339 After their 14 year marriage, Robert moved to Arizona and Lorene moved to Norway. They reuinted a few times for some performances. Lorene Yarnell passed away this year at age 66.
The shows they appeared in were usually not that great and the jokes often hokey. But they practically defined the robot-act. A lot of robot breakdancers int the 80s used their techniques.
Were there OTHER robot acts from the 70s?

I'm always amazed at how Robert could keep his eyes open for so long without blinking. Not necessarily good for your eyes, but that blew me away!

I'm trying to remember what show they where regulars on, I was thinking Sonny and Char but no? What show?

there was so many variety shows in the 70s.. Shields and Yarnell had their own as I remember.
They were so great! I'm so glad they are not forgotten!!
