\n \u201cRobot Chicken,\u201d which premiered in 2005, is nearing its milestone 200th on Adult Swim.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a stop-motion animated series<\/a> that began life as \u201cSweet J Presents\u201d in 2001 on the now-defunct screenblast.com and was even rejected by Cartoon Network \u2014 which ultimately reversed course and added \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d it to its nascent Adult Swim lineup.<\/p>\n

But Seth Green, who co-created \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d with Matthew Senreich, says \u201cit was just a matter of timing\u201d regarding the show\u2019s 15-year, Emmy-winning run \u2014 with no end in sight as it barrels along in Season 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no sense of \u2018I told you so,’\u201d Green, 46, tells The Post. \u201cWhen we started our Webisodes in 2000 the internet was still dial-up, and we didn\u2019t have this mass public acceptance of reflecting nostalgically on pop culture. When we first tried to sell the show there really wasn\u2019t a network like Adult Swim. Then, when we were potentially making a deal with Comedy Central, 9\/11 happ<\/a>ened and that effectively killed comedy across any network for a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like we felt like we were ahead of our time,\u201d he says. \u201cIt just seemed that this kind of content couldn\u2019t get a large audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim was very low.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green is being modest, since \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d struck an immedia<\/a>te nerve with its quick-hit vignettes and sketches skewering pop culture; a recent episode featured \u201cMr. Robo Rogers Neighborhood,\u201d Popeye, Bluto and Olive Oyl being made over for the Gen-Z crowd and takeoffs on \u201cThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale\u201d and fixer-upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines renovating \u201cPee-Wee\u2019s Playhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Johnny Carson would say, \u201cThat\u2019s weird, weird stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green says that his professional relationship with another Seth \u2014 MacFarlane \u2014 also played a role in launching \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d into the animation stratosphere. McFarlane hired Green to voice awkward teen Chris Griffin on \u201cFamily Guy\u201d (he\u2019s played the character since 1999) and they discovered they had a lot in common.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really bonded over our shared interest in filmmaking, animation and pop culture,\u201d Green says. \u201cWe even lived on the same block for a couple of years. When Seth sold the reruns of \u2018Family Guy\u2019 to Adult Swim, they were still a fledgling network dabbling in original content. He told us it \u2018could be a good place for that thing,\u2019 which is how he described our show. He\u2019s been an incredible factor in all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRobot Chicken\u201d is known for its timely pop culture references. But unlike its animated colleague \u201cSouth Park\u201d \u2014 which can produce a topical episode the week following a headline-grabbing event \u2014 the \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d production schedule means that Green, Senreich and the show\u2019s writing team don\u2019t have that luxury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main thing we do is try not to mention something we can\u2019t guarantee will be relevant or recognized in a year\u2019s time,\u201d Green says. \u201cWe try to focus on the stickiest stuff in pop culture. There\u2019s a documentary about \u2018South Park\u2019 called \u2018Six Days to Air\u2019 about how they write an episode so quickly, but we absolutely do not have that ability. \u2018Robot Chicken\u2019 is far more involved and labor-intensive and it\u2019s also exactly not our lane \u2014 we stay away from romantic relationships or the current pop of the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series will, however, make a big deal about its 200th episode, airing July 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole episode is about the concept of it being the 200th episode, from start to finish,\u201d Green says. \u201cWhile it\u2019s still very much an episode of \u2018Robot Chicken\u2019 that is true to all of the things we believe are self-evident about the show, it\u2019s focused on the celebration, the acknowledgment and the milestone.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
