Like a strange, action-figure version of Amazon Women on the Moon

I heard about robot Chicken from a classmate of mine, and decided to watch it. There really isn't any way to describe the show to someone who hasn't seen it. Except maybe if they're familiar with Amazon Women on the Moon.

Amazon Women on the Moon is a movie in which you are introduced to a movie, and sometime through the person watching it on TV decides to watch something else, and starts channel surfing. The TV comes back to the movie after some more of the plot has come about. This repeats a few times.

Robot Chicken, I think, based on the opening sequence, is about a chicken who is forced to watch TV, and the channel is changing throughout.

Utterly hilarious. Watch it Sundays on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network), at (I think) 11:15.
