   The Cylons and Muffit, the robot Daggit in Battlestar Galactica (the   
   original, not Moore-Ron's crappy reboot version).   
      
   Possibly the Six Miliion Dollar Man and Bionic Woman (plus a bionic dog   
   in one episode), but even if cyborgs don't count, there was also a   
   couple of fully robot men, including a look-a-like one that replaced   
   Oscar Goldman.
