peccatrix Review of Cow and Chicken

Cow and Chicken (1997–1999)

I Want To Be The King And Queen Of Cheese!

[22 October 2005]

This is a masterpiece! It's a brilliant seven minute cartoon which achieves very satisfying amounts of filth and subversion, most of it totally under the radar. Each episode follows the adventures of sweet natured Cow, her moody older brother Chicken, and their nemesis The Red Guy, who's basically Satan and never wears pants. (He has a suitable alias every time, such as I. Ben Pantsed, Larry Lackslacks, and my favourite, Baron von Nein Lederhosen.) All three are voiced by Charlie Adler. It might not be to everyone's taste - Cow and Chicken's insane human "parents" manage to disturb even me sometimes - but I can't recommend it highly enough!
