‘robot chicken’ on dvd — No ‘Chicken Run,’ just puppet fun

Classic stop-motion animation returned to the airwaves in this show featured on Cartoon Network’s frenetic and bizarre late-night animation block Adult Swim. The brainchild of actor and co-creator Seth Green (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Family Guy), Robot Chicken is a non-stop slew of vignettes with talking action figures putting the stake to movies, television and every imaginable facet of pop culture.

The DVD set also features a gag reel, audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes clips and alternate audio takes. Consider yourself warned.
