Titan Maximum: Season One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Titan Maximum is from the same creative team that does Robot Chicken. It's DEFINITELY not for kids, and is filled with references and jokes to various geek staples (sic-fi, anime, giant robots, action, etc.). It's appeal isn't for everyone, but I personally loved it. I have all 9 episodes from iTunes and for me the show definitely had a high rewatch value. I've read that the DVD set will (like iTunes) be the "censored" version (beeps for profanity). Best described as "Voltron for adults", with the Robot Chicken humor and stop-motion animation style.

One hundred years in the future, our solar system is protected by Titan Force Five, a squadron of crack pilots whose spaceships combine to form the giant robot Titan Maximum. After years of peace, the inactive team must hastily reassemble to square off against the biggest threat humanity has ever faced - but before they save the day, this new version of Titan Force Five must overcome their astounding incompetence.

Robot Chicken - Season Two (Uncensored) (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The second season of Robot Chicken, created by geek-god Seth Green, continues the stop motion, action figure starring insanity that made the groundbreaking first season of the show so entertaining. If you enjoyed the first season of the show, you should know what to expect here: skits ranging from Star Wars to classic TV shows and cartoons, to politically charged moments, celebrity-aimed knocks, to just plain blink and you miss it insanity. However, there are some misses to this season, including a segment starring both Corey Haim and Corey Feldman as themselves, which is almost painful to watch. The good however, greatly outweighs the bad, as we see a crazed Ted Turner (not voiced by himself) masquerade around as Captain Planet, Barney the purple dinosaur looking for love, Castro playing "Dance, Dance, Revolution", a fantastic Highlander spoof starring the current day teen queens, and plenty, plenty more to boot. Also like the first season of the show, there is a horde of voice talent to be found with the second season of Robot Chicken, including Green, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Scarlet Johansson, Charlize Theron, Paul Rudd, David Hasselhoff, Seth MacFarlane, Christian Slater, Phyllis Diller, Breckin Meyer, Miguel Ferrer, Dana "Master Shake" Snyder, Dan Milano, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Michelle Trachtenberg, Ginnifer Goodwin, Macaulay Culkin, Bruce Campbell, Peter Gallagher, Emma Caulfield, Melanie Griffith, Gene Simmons, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Weird Al, Kelly Hu, Roddy Piper, and Hulk Hogan. There's a great selection of special features to be found on this two disc set, and yes, like it says on the cover, season two of Robot Chicken is uncensored, and even funnier than you may think it would be without the bleeps. All in all, even for casual Adult Swim viewers, season two of Robot Chicken is a must own.

Robot Chicken, Season 1 (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The topics and humor in this show come fast and in a highly random manner, which may not appeal to everyone, but if you like the old 1-minute "blackout" type of sketches done years ago on many variety shows, then Robot Chicken will appeal to you. If a gag misses the mark for you it will be over fast and the next one will be rolling by moments later, a gag that may be very different and a lot funnier to you. There's something for everyone, as pop-culture, politics and more are skewered using action figures and other models in a rapid parade of stop-motion comedy sketches. My personal favorites are those that use action figures from some popular cartoon, comic book or movie, placing them in character in situations where they are forced to deal with everyday frustrations and problems. It's bust-a-gutt funny when you see Lex Luthor and Skeletor stuck in traffic, Transformers suffering from severe chronic illnesses, and more. There's also a hilarious bit where a stop-motion Mark Hamill (who voices himself) walks off the set of Star Wars after Darth Vader spouts a string of the most improbable explanations of how things work in Star Wars mythology. Many other actors and well-known personalities provide guest voices on the show, often poking fun at themselves or work they have done in the past.
Robot Chicken Vol. 1 is funny enough to warrant repeated viewing and I'm looking forward both to buying this DVD set and to seeing the second season of the show which begins in April 2006.

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 celebrity. It's television especially formulated for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars - Episode II (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Second verse, same as the first!"
Yes, it's the return of the "Robot Chicken: Star Wars"! It's full of thrill, spills, chills, and maybe a little bit of love. (aw)
SEE: AT-AT races on Hoth!
SEE: A stormtrooper's version of Take Your Daughter to Work Day!
SEE: Jar Jar Binks pitching insurance!
SEE: Boba Fett being a total jerk!
SEE: The Emperor getting a haircut!
NOW with extra footage not seen on TV!
SEE: The notorious Q-wing!
SEE: Yoda and Obi-Wan's long-lost musical number!
SEE: The Endor holocaust brought to life on your screen!
SEE: Dengar's customized spaceship!
In every way surpassing the original "Robot Chicken: Star Wars", this one brings you everything you've come to expect from one of the most hilarious and bizarre programs on TV! Yes, it's the kind of hyperbolic insanity you can find only here, on this DVD! Well, and on [Adult Swim].
In addition to the program itself, there's a whole raft of extra features, including multiple commentary tracks, deleted scenes, trailers, bumps and oodles of other nonsense!
It's one heck of a show, and only someone with a midicolorian count in the negative numbers would... would...
Ah, hell, I can't keep this up. It's a good disc. If you liked the first, you'll like this. Buy and enjoy! I certainly did. :)

Robot Chicken: Season Four (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The fourth season of Robot Chicken finds Seth Green and co. changing things up a bit...okay, that's a flat-out lie, but be glad that it is because Robot Chicken is still as demented and hilarious as it always has been in its fourth season. Included in the chaos to be found here for this season are the revelation that Tila Tequila is really a cyborg, PaRappa the Rapper (anyone else remember him?) finds himself in court, a woman wanting her husband to role play being Jack Sparrow gets more than she bargained for, another Terminator comes back in time in a very different form, the spirits from Raiders of the Lost Ark try to get Indy to open his eyes, Jazz is still alive at the end of Transformers, Stephen King and Dean Koontz have a face off, and there's a fantastic Yellow Submarine spoof as well. There's also the usual skits involving G.I. Joe, Batman, Iron Man, and more besides; and there's so much perverse comedy to be found that it's just hard not to love Robot Chicken for all that it is. There's another slew of voice talent to be found in the fourth season as well, including Seth MacFarlane, Battlestar Galactica head honcho Ronald D. Moore, Joss Whedon, Katee Sackhoff, Breckin Meyer, Milo Ventimiglia, Tila Tequila, Sebastian Bach, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Zac Efron, Ron Perlman, Donald Faison, Joey Fatone, Amy Smart, Billy Dee Williams, Christian Slater, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lee Majors, Jon Favreau, Hulk Hogan, Mark Hamil, Stuart Townsend, Nathan Fillion, Triple H, Jean-Claude Van Damme, David Hasselhoff, Neil Patrick Harris, Simon Pegg, Rachel Leigh Cook, Sandra Oh, and James Marsden among others. All in all, four seasons in and Robot Chicken is still one of the best things to ever grace Adult Swim's lineup, and here's hoping that Seth Green's brainchild never, ever goes off into the sunset.

Robot Chicken: Season Three (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband and I love Robot Chicken. The first time he saw the show he laughed so hard our neighbors in the next apartment woke up and started banging on the wall. Our only gripe with this third season is that it is uncensored. I never would have thought this was a problem, as it is an adult show, but dropping the F-bomb more times in a 15 minutes show than most R-rated films do makes the show less funny. It makes it seem like it's trying too hard. It's excessive and distracting. It was way funnier when all of the swear words were beeps. All of the nudity is also uncensored. This mostly consists of Barbie boobs which aren't erotic in the least. It was funnier when they were blurred out because it made it seem like it was something inappropriate, instead of a child's plaything.
Some people might think we are just prudes that are offended by the language, but if that were the case, we wouldn't watch the show at all. My point is Robot Chicken was funnier when they didn't need so much uncensored language. The show can carry itself without it.

Robot Chicken: Seasons 1-4 (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This boxed set has the original first pieces for the pitch to adult swim, as well as seasons 1,2,3,4 as indicated. Each CD has great extras. You can see how each piece is created and animated in astonishing detail! Plus extra sesons that werecut to make time or to change sequence. i watch is slow to enjoy TV , as the programming in the networks has really gone down hill. reality shows are scripted. Amercian idol is only good for the first one, with kooks and the latter one, with the real talent. without paula A it isnt the sme anyway. The survivor is stale etc. So you watch House, Foc news and then a few episode of Robot chicken, greta TV.
Robot chicken is like south park except way way more edgey. IF you are sensitive to offensive lanagaue situation and thin skinned, this will offend you. if you are literate on current events and pop culture from 70's 80' 90' and 2000, they weave that with current events to creat outrageously funny material.
The box set canbe purchased new via amazon (as I did) or used from folks whom have bought it and perhaps want to recycle it. I think I'll keep mine as there is not anything like this show on TV! You will laugh and be amazed!

Robot Chicken: Star Wars (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I watched this DVD today and laughed as much or more as the first time I saw this show on Adult Swim. This DVD has a number of features to recommend it:
- Two hours of extra features, including deleted scenes, commentary, animation meeting, panel presentations, alternate audio and more.
- Terrific presentation of the original show. It even sounds as though the music to dialogue level has been adjusted on the "Empire On Ice" sketch so that the hilarious lyrics to the songs are much more audible and clear than they were when originally shown on TV.
At less than $10, this DVD is absolutely worth it. A great entertainment value for the price. Even the blurbs on the back of the DVD case are entertaining.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This hilarious 44-minute show first aired on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network in December 2010. The entire show is included here on this modestly priced DVD with the addition of 4 hilarious commentary tracks with different groups of actors, producers and production staff. It's worth the buy just to hear Billy Dee Williams say he hates Jar Jar Binks in front of Ahmed Best!
If that wasn't enough, the deleted scenes and animatics are great additional material. A lot of sketches got cut for time, not because they weren't funny, and several high-quality pieces of material made it into this featurette. There are also great featurettes showing the most recent San Diego Comic-Con panel, a meeting with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch, entertaining footage from the Skate Tour promoting the show, and much, much more. This DVD will provide many hours of enjoyment with high repeat viewing value. It's a winner!
