I love robot chicken. There's tons of short skits in a short episodes, so you get some hilarious ones and you get some not funny at all ones. I had to go with a 4 star rating since I only enjoy about half of the skits. A skit may only be a few minutes long, so you don't have to wait long to get to a skit that appeals to you. In other words, the formula just works man! There's lots of replay value in these as well and some skits just grow on ya. I have all four seasons now. This being the first one I bought just a few weeks ago. I also picked up the star wars episodes, which rock!
Why did the chicken cross the road…? To become an experiment for an evil mad scientist who brings him back to life and forces him to watch a 15-minute long stop-motion-animation show involving…action figures! If that doesn’t sound zany enough for you, then wait until you see “Robot Chicken”! Created by Seth Green, this original and extremely popular Cartoon Network/Adult Swim television series’ first season comes to DVD in a special 2-disc collection. Full of over 5 hours of insanely hilarious and outrageous sketches using various action figures and dolls to make a truly unique pop-culture phenomenon. This DVD collection includes all 20 Episodes of season one and includes Behind the Scenes Footage, Deleted Scenes, Original Skits, Episode Commentaries and much more! Don’t forget Season Two (recently released) it’s even better and be sure to catch Season 3 now on Adult Swim on Sunday nights as the madness continues!

Got season 3 first, which is very well done, hilarious. After that got seasons 1&2. Season 1 is not as close to as well done, many sketches make no sense & not funny. They obviously got much better over time.

I was happy to see Ebay had many sellers offering Season 1. And I was lucky enough to get a great deal-about $15 less than it would have cost at a store. Since Robot Chicken's premise is spoofing current celebrity mishaps, movies and television, and Season 1 is a little out of date,you'll have to strain to remember some of the parallels. I got them, but my teen daughter was too young at the time some of the episodes were based on. Still, they are funny. The humor can tend to be obscure, and you definately need to be somewhat intelligent to 'get it'. I also have a short attention span so this really appeals to me. The episodes are short and to the point. If you are the type of person (like me) who says things inappropriately, finds humour in the weirdest of things and tends to offend, this is for you. I definately recommend purchasing this on Ebay, and I look forward to collecting Season 2 and 3.Read full review
Robot Chicken is the last bastion of TV worth anything, pending that one watching this gets the jokes. Its great clay-mation parodies of TV for those too bored and annoyed with the real thing, because Seth Green and friends do eons more justice to the crap on TV than anyone else through their method of televised deconstruction. So much bad TV is lambasted through this sketch comedy of sorts that when first taken in, the viewer is put on edge with excitement and hilarious suspense. Like Mr. Show, Robot pushes the edge of the envelope with the concept of that which woud be considered humorous. Enjoy.
