During their period in the service of Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, this series was described by C-3PO as "Artoo's favorite program." On Ingo, the program could be picked up on a standard .
It detailed the adventures of a group of blue and white R2-series astromech droids, who were distinguishable by their headgear. The apparent protagonist wore a broad-brimmed white hat, while the antagonist wore a similar black hat. A third character wore a colorful feathered headdress. The storyline of one episode involved the R2 unit with the white hat fighting the R2 unit with the black hat, and later smoking a pipe with the unit wearing the feathered headdress.
Though the program was R2-centric, it was also popular among non-astromechs. C-3PO once suggested watching the program with Kea Moll in order to relax. Vlix Oncard also enjoyed the program.
This "show within a show" was an obvious parody of 20th century Western serials.
