I recall an episode of THE JETSONS in which robots played football; many were destroyed in the process. I remember that one. The "Statue of Liberty Play" was done literally, with a robot holding a flaming torch. Here it is http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xs75jj_the-jetsons-jetson-s-nite-out-season...
