  • Cree Summer makes this episode of "Robot Chicken" her own when "Inspector Gadget" goes psycho! (Scary Violin Music plays in background! :shock: )

    One of the more prolific voice performers working in T.V. today is Cree Summer. In the 1980's she got her start voicing Kim in "The Care Bear's Movie," and voicing both Dawn and Kristy in "The Care Bear's Movie II." But nothing helped break Cree Summer into the big time such as the celebrated series "Inspector Gadget." With the forces of Mad (and no, I don't mean the magazine of the same name,) always trying to bring chaos to the world, the Chief would always call on Inspector Gadget to stop the evil groups plans even though it would Always end up being Penny who solved the crimes. So it's only natural Mad would figure out the reason behind Inspector Gadget's success and target the real threat to their evil plans. Penny's finally forced to come out of under her Uncle's shadow in order to destroy what was once good that has now become a threat! Her victory is not without a loss of innocence though as she now has equipped one of her uncle's legs and her dog Brain can no longer speak English. There's no telling the kind of storm that's going to come from such an event! But it's brillant sketch ideas like this that make "Robot Chicken" such a great comedy/variety series! That's why I like this show! Enough said, true believers! ;)moreless

  • It's good to see that Robot Chicken hasn't lost its touch after the (too) long summer hiatus.

    After the summer hiatus, it's good to see that Robot Chicken hasn't lost its touch. This first episode since the summer pause is full of the crazy antics we're expecting from Green and Senreich.

    The episode opens with Robot Chicken itself 'selling-out', throwing in many old characters. Next, the Fanta-girls interupt a Middel-East peace treaty, E.T. gets home and appears to be a bullied retard named Cleborp, pumpkins having trouble with trick-or-treaters, a little girl who catches the legendary Pegasus and makes him her personal My Little Pony, and finally Inspector Gadget becomes one with Skynet in a hilarious Terminator parody. This all of course filled with crazy shorts.

    All in all, another great Robot Chicken for our viewing pleasure.moreless

  • NOTES (2)

    ADD NOTES

    • The Stoop!d Monkey is just a head on a wall mounting.

    • Cree Summer reprises her role as Penny in the Inspector Gadget skit. She was the original voice of Penny in the 80s classic. Frank Welker also returns to his roles of Dr. Claw and Brain from the original series.

  • ALLUSIONS (5)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Inspector Gadget: Terminator The last sketch featured characters and the Gadgetmobile from the infamous DiC Entertainment cartoon series, Inspector Gadget. However, the plot the characters are given is similar to the last scenes of the original Terminator movie. The sketch attempts to explain a fact of the cartoon series that was never addressed: why Dr. Claw never before targeted Penny and/or Brain as a threat to his criminal operations.

    • E.T.'s trip home The sketch featuring E.T., the Extra Terrestrial was a parody of the Steven Spielberg movie, giving the "continued" adventures of the beloved alien. Towards the end of the sketch, E.T. is sent to another planet where he greets another alien similar to the alien from the movie by the same name, Alien.

    • "Your name is Sugar Muffins!"

      The crazy little girl continuously whipping Pegasus into saying his "new name" Sugar Muffins is reminiscent of a scene from Roots, where a white taskmaster repeatedly whipping Kunta Kinte (played by LeVar Burton) into saying his slave name, Toby. (i.e.: "What's your name, boy?", "Kunta. Kunta Kinte.")

    • Fantanas The group of four girls who breakup the peace treaty agreements between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators parody the real-life dancers used to promote the soft drink, Fanta. They even sing rhyming lyrics that promote the drink as well.

    • Cyberdyne The company that is responsible for turning Inspector Gadget into a killing machine is coincidentally the same fictional company responsible for making the killer robots from the Terminator movies. "Skynet" was also the fictitious satellite company to turn on the terminator program on Cyberdyne robots.
