Robot Chicken is an Emmy award-winning American stop motion animated television series created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, who are the executive producers. They are also on the writing team, and have directed some episodes and 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 and Game of Life pegs. The show's name was inspired by a dish on the menu at a West Hollywood Chinese restaurant, Kung Pao Bistro, where Green and Senreich had dined, although the series originally was intended to be titled "Junk in the Trunk".
The show is produced by Stoopid Monkey, ShadowMachine Films, Williams Street, and Sony Pictures Digital, and currently airs in the US as a part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, in the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of Bravo's Adult Swim block, in Canada on Teletoon's Detour block, and in Latin America on the Cartoon Network's block Adult Swim. It premiered on Sunday, February 20 2005.
The series was renewed for a 20-episode third season, which started on August 12, 2007. The Robot Chicken Season Two DVD was released September 4, 2007.

Old-school stop-motion animation and fast-paced satire are the hallmarks of this eclectic show created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. Action figures find new life as players in frenetic sketch-comedy vignettes that skewer TV, movies, music, and celebrities. It's television especially formulated for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation. Written by Civonos
