Magic Voice is a non-corporeal female voice that lives on the Satellite of Love. She alerts the members of the crew as to how long it will be before Commercial Sign or Movie Sign. She sometimes comments on the actions of the SoL crew.
Although Magic Voice does not appear to be a robot, she seems to be another creation of Joel (presumably some form of computer-based artificial intelligence). In Experiment #424 ("Manos" The Hands of Fate), Joel installs a chip in her that affects her personality, similar to chips that he had installed in the 'bots.
In Fire Maidens of Outer Space, she seemed to be concerned for Cambot's safety as he was menaced by Timmy. A host segment in The Atomic Brain presented her search for companionship from other narration voices.
At the end of Laserblast, she became pure energy along with the rest of the crew, despite being non-corporeal. She returned during the show's Sci-Fi Channel run and "appeared" in two episodes from season 8-9.
Her fate since the end of the original run of the show has yet to be revealed. The new SoL constructed by Kinga does not seem to include a Magic Voice.
Behind the Scenes
Magic Voice first "appeared" on the show in the first national season. Magic Voice was voiced longest by Mary Jo Pehl beginning in the middle of season 4.
