Cartoon Network, [adult swim] sunday nights. It's a 15-20 minute show using action figures, pretty damn funny. It's a great laugh for anyone into late 80's and early 90's tv series they also bust on a ton of new shows as well. Stars action figures like HE-Man, skelator, cobra commander, william shatner, gumby, etc...

Check it out it's just the type of humor some of you guys here are into.

Some info and links

Everything is great a few notes that they don't make people aware of, but are known issues, confirmed by tech support.

Simple Center Software (required for syncing and streaming)
  • upon startup eats 70MB of system memory and could spike to 180MB
  • cannot handle over 10,000 songs
  • computer is useless when synchronizing Car's drive over USB
    -system specs AMD 2400+ 1.5gig of ram


Streaming to the home uint causes no noticable lag on the pc and can stream for hours with no issues, just don't try to stream while it is wirelessly syncing the car. I get random BSODs, so I set my sync time to 12:00am (when I am not streaming)


The car unit kicks ass, it stays active for about 10 minutes after you shut the car off so within that time you do not have to wait for the 20 second boot time. It will remember where you were in a song or playlist until you sync, then it seems to start back at the main screen.

output on the DMP1 (car unit) is around 3V most FM modulators and some radios only take 500mv signals so you need to lover the input to avoid massive distortion. I rigged a volume control from a gaming headset to adjust the output levels.

I have been getting a temperature out of range message for about 10 seconds when the outside air is below 50F, then it goes away and works as normal. I hope thi isnt an issue in the winter :/

The first episode was the best....the medley of robots falling down....then the rest of the episodes went downhill so I stopped watching it.

It's all about south park anyways...

yeah Robot Chicken is good stuff, mostly. They do have their moments where their stuff is incredibly unfunny(Like that one with Walt Disney and Elian Gonzalez). The ones with classic 80's toys are almost always gold. Up until this show I thought Seth Green had no talent.

Gotta give Seth some credit for landing a gig on Family Guy

robot chicken has its moments.... pretty hit or miss, some bits are retardedly funny, others are just retarded.
not a bad show though... light years better than the aforementioned aqua teen hunger force.... god that show is horrible.
