Seth Green And Friends To Star In Adult Swim Giant-Robot Stop-Motion ROBOT CHICKEN Spin-Off TITAN MAXIMUM!!

Doesn't Sound..THAT Bad by The_Dreaded_Rear_Admiral	May 7th, 2009 02:30:19 AM
Actually, sounds pretty good! Voltron, Orbots, and however many other conjoining robot shows need this treatment. Oh, yeah...FIRST!
I Know A Girl Who Works With Green by Media Messiah	May 7th, 2009 04:15:03 AM
It has been years, but I am happy for her that her career is doing well. She deserves it.
It's all in the execution by FrodoFraggins	May 7th, 2009 07:05:13 AM
Robot Chicken rarely turns the interesting sketch ideas into laughs for me. I doubt I'll bother with the new show unless there's great word of mouth.
I thought RoboChick had already done this.. by 2for2true	May 7th, 2009 07:38:58 AM
Haven't they?
Does Tartakovsky know about this? by grimjon	May 7th, 2009 07:41:08 AM
Didn't CN announce ANOTHER "teenagers piloting Giant Robots series," from Genndy Tartakovsky, with a remarkably similar name? Are they now parodying shows in realtime?
Could be funny by manicfanatic	May 7th, 2009 07:59:32 AM
I think robot chicken has jumped the shark by now, but I genuinely like the team behind it even if Entourage wants me to think Seth Green is the biggest asshole in the business.
Liked it better when it was called MEGAS XLR by Squashua	May 7th, 2009 08:45:02 AM
That was a fun show.
Robot Chicken hasn't been funny in year. by rbatty024	May 7th, 2009 08:49:37 AM
They had about a year and a half of goo material, but since then it has been pretty mediocre. It's a shame too since there were a lot of possibilities.
RUT CHICKEN by ThusSpakeSpymunk	May 7th, 2009 09:02:04 AM
The problem with the show is that they do ONE gag now - "What if that one cartoon charaacter pooped and then killed EVERYBODY in the supporting cast?" No cleverness.
Seth Green sucks at life by Jor-El23	May 7th, 2009 09:17:36 AM

Awesome idea for a series by Darkartist	May 7th, 2009 09:59:58 AM
My only gripe about the premise with the show is that it's stop motion animation. I would love to see stupid teenagers in charge of a giant death machine in live action, and given the intentional no-budget style that Matt Holness & Richard Ayoade brought to Garth Marenghi's Dark Place.
Remember when Robot Chicken was funny? by SmokingRobot	May 7th, 2009 10:45:09 AM
That was a long time ago. Will this show have lots of anal sex jokes? Seth Green just loves those. They are the epitomoy of humor to him.
How about making Robot Chicken half an hour long first, by Iron-kong	May 7th, 2009 11:20:21 AM
then we can talk about spin-offs.
Megas XLR by Bouncy X	May 7th, 2009 11:33:23 AM
oh yes...i remember that one, i didnt follow it but saw a handful of episodes and it was pretty cool. it bugged me that the robot's head was just their car but otherwise...très cool.
Are you sure it's ALL stop motion? by Domi'sInnerChild	May 7th, 2009 12:51:30 PM
Seems like it would be more cost effective to just do the wacky special effects stop motion and the rest live action.
Thunderbirds/Team America style marionettes? by CENOBITE	May 7th, 2009 01:29:29 PM
that would be a quicker solution than stop animation.
First episode by Charles Calthrop	May 7th, 2009 04:34:06 PM
In the first episode they search for Rachael Leigh Cook's career which was stolen by Anne Hathaway.
Hopefully... by maelstrom_ZERO	May 7th, 2009 09:19:01 PM
...they answer the question of who actually pays for all that property damage. I mean, think about it--every week, these random giant monsters show up and pretty much level an entire city, amidst hot-steel sparks. Sure, the Power Rangers kill the monster, but who's going to pay for all the ensuing property damage?
Robot Chicken formula in 3 easy steps by Darth Pants	May 8th, 2009 12:08:22 AM
• Take film/cartoon characters from the 70s or 80s • Have said characters kill/fuck/take a shit • Sandwich show between Family Guy reruns and two Awesome talentless hacks doing shit in front of a green screen for 15 minutes.
As bad idea as a Cleveland spin off from Family Guy by finky089	May 8th, 2009 12:29:33 AM
Either just concentrate ondoing one show really well (I haven't watched fresh "Robot" in a year or more) or do a second show that is differnt. but this is just dilution of brand. And it's territory that has been covered enough and decently well already.
Bad idea. As bad as... by JethroBodine	May 8th, 2009 07:08:21 AM
You know how Saturday Night Live has an idea, or a character that's funny for one or two skits, but then SNL makes them into a whole movie that really really really sucks, so much so that you end up hating the original skit that you liked so well because the movie was THAT bad, well this is one of those ideas. This should be a skit on Robot Chicken, a recurring skit that when it comes on is really really good. Like how The Carol Burnett had a "Momma's Family" skit that they occasionally did. It used to have teeth and real humor. But a series was made and it was 100% vomit. But I digress check out these titles if you think that I'm mistaken, The Ladies Man, A Night at the Roxbury, It's Pat!, Coneheads, Superstar, Stuart Saves His Family. There, I've said my piece.
More excited about Sym-Bionic Titan by OGoncho	May 8th, 2009 01:45:49 PM
I wish he'd finish Samurai Jack instead, but whatever. My beef there is with the CN, not the man.
They confuse quirky with quality by Reno	May 8th, 2009 05:51:47 PM
Again.
Actually by LouisCedar	May 9th, 2009 12:14:26 AM
This sounds fairly interesting, the reality of a "power rangers" type of situation has ltos of potential for hilarity. Oh wait, I'm sorry, this talkback hasn't reached it's quota of meganerd bitch-rants; here I'll contribute: What a bad idea blah blah blah, Robot Chicken is stale yada yada yada derivative bullshit and so on and so forth.
Seth Green gets root beer with no ice by JasonGrey	May 9th, 2009 02:35:04 AM
No joke folks.... probably one of the most down to earth chillest mofos in the business from what I've seen.
