Robot Chicken is BACK BABY


Robot Chicken, one of the best things Adult Swim has green lighted since its original 4 shows, is coming back TONIGHT AT 11:30 pm on Cartoon Network.

Coincedentally, the DVD of season 1 is also available with all the original "Sweet J presents" skits that Seth Green and Matt Seinreich worked on , which was basically the same idea as Robot Chicken. Unfortunately, Sweet J was part of Sony's early foray into the world of Broadband, Screenblast, which basically meant it was impossible to view entire episodes due to buffering and poor streams.

For the uninitiated (of which there are many), Robot chicken is a skit show at heart. Except the stars are action figures of yesteryear (animated through stop motion) in outrageous situations e.g. Voltron facing off with a monster in a "you got served" style dance off, Optimus Prime falling not to decepticons but to prostate cancer, etc.

If you were born in the '80s, Robot Chicken will definitely entertain you, and its barely 15 minutes long made up of sketches that range from 5 seconds to 3 minutes. You cant be THAT busy can you?

last nights episode doesn't exactly have me excited about this season's prospects. Thank god the show is only 10 minutes long or they would have exhausted their good material in the first episode.

I thought last night's episode was excellent. From the superman II opening to the how we support terrorism skit all the way through to the classic six millian peso man.

I think you are in the minority here justin. An ugly stupid minority
