Robot Chicken Season One
Thoughts Before: Well, I'd seen first sketches through various internet sites and the idea intrigued me, Adam and Joe Show in Britain did a simlair thing using toys from our childhood to act out the scenes and it's a thing that will always appeal to me. And I seem to already have a lot of stuff with Seth Green in it.
Review: The show is very, very funny- the animated sketches never outstay their welcome (the show is only about 11 minutes long) and features an all host of celebrity voices (Macaulay Culkin, Scarlett Johansson, casts of That 70s Show and Scooby Doo), how can you not like it when Superman steals Catwoman's Hello Kitty underwear, or a Cannonball Run sketch (Dom DeLuise and Burt Reynolds are in it!!!), or a Smurfs sketch based on Seven, or many, many more funny sketches.
A good thing about the show he doesn't feel it needs to explain to the geeks out there- A Sleepaway Camp reference!- and occasionly just goes for insane humour in places.
Stand Out Moment: So many sketches to pick from, erm...George Bush in his office in the Armageddon sketch, (zoom zoom zoom!), it annoys my nephew when I do an impression of that.
Conclusion: Recommended to fans of animation, and it's another moden classic from the Adult Swim Channel- 20 episodes are on this set, so there is enough to enjoy and laugh at. (R1 only)
