"Actor Seth Green ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Matthew Senreich created this off-the-wall comedy hit, a series of pop culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character had been an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode."
I think I may have seen a nanosecond of this while I've been flicking through channels late at night when Law & Order: SVU isn't on. I obviously dismissed it in my mind as being uninteresting, but I just read the above description of it and, actually, it looks like something I might like! It may be stupid, but I like some types of stupid stuff! I hope it's warped and demented. Now, I just can't help comparing Robot Chicken's TV show torture with that of Alex De Large's (Malcom McDowell) eyes-propped open, movie torture/rehabilitation in Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange". It just CAN'T be that good, can it??

SVU rules! New episodes start April 15th! I've seen a few minutes here and there of "Robot Chicken". It's hit or miss, but it can be very funny. I think there are some DVD's available.
