Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and animation lovers. If you loved Family Guy or South Park, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 11 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 12 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.

A series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character was 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.
