Stick Around was an unsold 1977 television pilot for ABC, starring Andy Kaufman. Only one pilot episode was ever made.
Kaufman portrayed Andy the robot, a run down servant robot in the future. He used the same voice of his Foreign Man character that would one day become the signature voice of Latka Gravas on Taxi.
The pilot also starred Nancy New as Elaine Keefer, a futuristic house wife, and Fred McCarren as Vance Keefer, her nerdy and some what crumugend husband. Andy is their robot and plot of the episode revolves around his inadequacies as an older model and whether or not they should replace him. Vance owns an antique store, and there are a lot of jokes that revolve around his misconceptions about the antiques he has, all of which are common household appliances of the 1970s. Vance is very frustrated by Andy's incompetence but eventually he and Elaine decide to keep him.
Andy would revive the robot character to some degree in the 1981 film Heartbeeps.
