Overview

The first season of Robot Chicken establishes the series’ main premise: a dead chicken is revived by a mad scientist who reanimates him as a half cyborg, half chicken hybrid. Strapped to a chair, the robot chicken is forced to watch an endless amount of sketches that make up the body of each episode. Consequently, the first season includes many TV, movie, TV commercial, and pop culture parodies and non-sequitur blackouts, all acted out by dolls and action figures, including parodies like Rachael Leigh Cook smashing more than eggs in her latest This Is Your Brain on Drugs public service announcement, Walt Disney's severed head with its giant robotic spider-body attacking Cuba, the animals Noah left behind trying to survive the flood in their very own ark, America sending Harrison Ford and Aerosmith into space to take out a killer asteroid, the world's most diabolical supervillains getting stuck in traffic, the Teen Titans strengthening their roster by adding Beavis and Butt-Head, a teenage girl getting a fashion makeover in "Pimp My Sister", icons from Star Trek and Tiger Beat alike uniting for canned sitcom laughs in "Two Kirks, a Khan and a Pizza Place", the last surviving member of 'N Sync, Joey Fatone, having to avenge his murdered bandmates in a deadly martial arts tournament in "Enter the Fat One", the Masters of the Universe being rocked by a Paris Hilton-style sex tape, William Shatner's toupee having adventures the action star can only dream of, a man in a public restroom encountering the terror known as "Dumplestiltskin", the world's most famous monkey bursting loose on Skull Island in "Ding Dong, King Kong", Sailor Moon encountering a bone-chilling villain, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen uniting to fight a rampaging dragon, JAWS getting a special edition DVD, a man running away from an Oriental masseuse looking for a "happy ending", Alien vs. Predator on the battleground of love in a special episode of "First Date", a crime-fighting monkey saving monkeys from a monkey supervillain, and the laughter being canned for the sketch comedy show "You Can't Do That on Robot Chicken".

DVD release

Title	Release date			Episodes
	Region 1	Region 2	Region 4
"Season One: Uncensored"	March 28, 2006	September 29, 2008	April 4, 2007	1–20
This two disc boxset includes all 20 episodes from Season 1 in production order. While it contains many sketches that were edited from the TV airings, several of the original Sony Screenblast webtoons, and the words "Jesus" and "Christ" as an oath unbleeped (though "fuck" and "shit" are still censored out), the episodes are not all uncut. One particular segment in the episode "Vegetable Fun Fest" that featured the Teen Titans meeting Beavis and Butt-Head was omitted from the DVD because of legal problems (the version shown on Hulu Plus has the sketch). The Voltron/You Got Served sketch in the episode "Nutcracker Sweet" shown on the DVD has a replacement song because of legal issues over the song that was used on TV (the Hulu Plus version has the original song). At a performance of Family Guy Live in Chicago, during the Q&A session that ends each performance, Seth Green was asked how they came up with the name Robot Chicken. He explained that the title of each episode was a name Adult Swim rejected for the name of the show. A Region 2 version of the set was released in the UK on September 29, 2008.
