Robot Chicken S03E01

Robot Chicken is an Emmy-winning American stop motion animated television series distributed by Sony Pictures Digital and produced by Stoop!d Monkey, ShadowMachine Films and Williams Street, currently airing in the US as a part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up, in Britain as part of Bravo's Adult Swim line-up, and in Canada on Teletoon's Detour nightly adult programming. It premiered on Sunday, February 20, 2005. Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are the creators and executive producers of the show. They are also on the writing team, and have directed some episodes. Seth Green provides many voices for the show. The program is a sketch show that parodies a number of pop culture conventions using stop motion animation of toys, action figures, dolls, and claymation (usually for special effects) and various other objects, such as tongue depressors. The show's name was inspired by a dish on the menu at a Chinese restaurant, Kung Pao Bistro, where Green and Senreich had dined, although the series originally was intended to be titled "Junk in the Trunk" [1]

The series was renewed for a 20-episode third season, which started on August 12, 2007. The "Robot Chicken" season two DVD will be released September 4, 2007.
