Not enlightening or uplifting, just good for a laugh

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has the funniest new show on Sundays at 11:30 p.m. Robot Chicken is hilarious stop-motion animation with off the shelf action figures and toys. Click here for a video clip of a beanie baby panda biting the head off a Geraldo Rivera-esque action figure. Did I mention that this is not for the small fry? Cartoon Network doesn't call it "Adult Swim" for nothing. Robot Chicken is a bit of twisted humor, much like a 16-car pileup on the freeway leaves a little dent in car #7. Let's just say the opening credits for Robot Chicken have a roadkill chicken being revived by a mad scientist who turns it into a cyborg hen and forcing it to watch TV.

Too bad they didn't post the clip of Captain Kirk getting an appendage slammed in the turbolift door. I laugh just thinking about that. Seriously. Watch the show. Without the kids.

I'll watch, but only if it's on directly preceding Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Now there's some entertainment!
Best in the 'hood, G!
