Cow and Chicken are sister and brother, a cow and a chicken, but who have human parents whose faces are never seen in any episode (although there are references where you can see their shadows of their upper halves). This is the complete list of Cow and Chicken episodes Pilot 1995 01-No Smoking This show is rateds TV-PG and on Teletoon Detour November The creators were faced with the question of whether and how to explain this scenario. Sometimes opening credits are cumbersome vehicles for an origin story. David Feiss approached this problem in the series' opening title sequence: Mama had a chicken/Mama had a cow/Dad was proud/He didn't care how. David Feiss (born April 16, 1959) is an American Animator. Feiss was born in Sacramento California. This is all that is ever offered in explanation, though there is one hint in the episode "The Day I Was Born" that Cow is adopted, while Chicken's paternity is unknown.
Cow and Chicken's extended family consists of various other types of animals, including Cousin Boneless, who is a boneless chicken (unable to walk or get up from the floor); Snail Boy, a snail; Cousin Black Sheep, a sheep; and Sow, an evil pig. The word snail is a Common name that can be used for almost all members of the Molluscan class Gastropoda which have coiled shells in the They also have an uncle Longhorn Steer, who appears in "Professor Longhorn Steer". The episode "Happy Meat" also showed the ghosts of a pair of Cow and Chicken's ancestors, a male farmer married to a female chicken.

The Protagonist or main character is the central figure of a story. Her weight is given at several points as 600 pounds. Usually viewed (at least by Chicken) as exceedingly infantile & stupid, she however occasionally displays uncanny talents.
Cow's alter ego is Super Cow, a powerful cow with the ability to fly. Super Cow's powers lie in a green blanket. Super Cow's costume is purple with a logo on the chest which slightly resembles that of Super Man, but with a C instead of a S.

(voiced by Charlie Adler) Cow's 11-year old brother. Charles Michael "Charlie" Adler (born October 2, 1956 in Boston) is an American Voice actor. At times, he can be quite mean to his younger sister, and even the rest of the family (as seen in "Chicken in the Bathroom", where he refuses to take a bath solely to prevent everyone else from using the toilet). He has a rather large ego. In spite of this, he has a powerful conscience, usually only displayed when Cow is in danger (and unable to become Supercow). He speaks with a "street" type of accent, often peppering his speech with malapropisms (as do the rest of the characters), and often using sarcasm. A malapropism (also called a Dogberryism) is the substitution of an incorrect word for a word with a similar sound usually to comic effect He often gets injured, sometimes quite brutally or almost killed. Sometimes Chicken uses Cow for his needs. In Sumo Cow, Chicken used Cow's size to get his money, then told her to get lost making her look like the bully. Despite being a male, he, in one episode, demonstrated being able to lay eggs, only to toss a dozen of them at the Red Guy, who was posing as Dead Ghost (a parody of Space Ghost). Chicken is very fond of ice skating. Like chickens, he can not fly, but is also very much afraid of flying.

C. High-knee etc. ). Sometimes more than one Red Guy is shown at a time, such as in the episode "Dirty Laundry", when the warden from an earlier episode has a conversation with another Red Guy. The Red Guy will usually make pants jokes and butt jokes. His catch phrases are, "Hello it's me (whoever he is)" , "Sue me", and "Is that a crime?" (Pronounced "cra-yim", like his "nine" is pronounced "na-yin"). Like the other characters on "Cow and Chicken" Red will refer everyone as ladies, girls, gals, or men.

Although he is a man, he once gave a clock to Cow and stated that his mother gave it to him and the clock was passed down to all the girls in the family. Dad does not seem to know about Cow's birth, as once in an episode, he told Cow that she was born in a cabbage. Not only that, but he is also very proud of it as he cried and said, That was the best cabbage we ever had. Like his wife, sometime he also seems to be insane, as he once woke up his kids at 3 o' clock at night only to tell them how he and Mom met.

The idea of Cow and Chicken first existed as a story that David Feiss had made for his daughter. David Feiss (born April 16, 1959) is an American Animator. Feiss was born in Sacramento California. [2] Feiss was a cartoonist who had worked with Hanna Barbera and related projects since 1978. [2]
Later, Feiss was called to submit any ideas he had for the series "What a Cartoon!", a series that was comprised of various cartoon shorts from various creators and writers. Feiss submitted three ideas for the series, one of which was Cow and Chicken. [3] Cow and Chicken premiered on the "What a Cartoon!" series in 1995. Although most cartoons in the series had never gone beyond one short, Hanna Barbera had decided to turn Cow and Chicken into full series, following many letters from fans asking for more Cow and Chicken Cartoons. [3]
The new Cow and Chicken series premiered on July 7, 1997, and ran until 1999. The series ran for 52 episodes, and ran in syndication from 2000 to 2004 spun-off the series "I am Weasel".

Cow and Chicken drew on several types of cartoon humor through its run. The series often made use of cartoon violence; Cow and Chicken were frequently placed in dangerous situations and the Red Guy was frequently pummelled and beaten (usually by Supercow). The series also made fun of the clichés of cartoons. For example, Cow has an alter-ego Supercow, who is a superhero with different characteristics to her normal character (such as flight, and the ability to speak Spanish); and the Red Guy tries in vain to discover Supercow's secret identity. An alter ego ( Latin, "the other I" is a second self, a second Personality or Persona within a Person A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a Fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do Flight is the process by which an object achieves sustained movement either through the Air (or movement beyond Earth's atmosphere, in the case of A secret identity is an element of fiction wherein a character develops a separate Persona (usually adopting a Pseudonym) while keeping their true identity Another cliché made fun of in the series is that the children's parents, who are called Mom and Dad, exist only from the waist down, and can be seen to stop at the waist (whenever their shadows appear, they are cut off at the waist). A picture even exists on the wall of the parents from the waist down. Also Cow disguises herself as Dad simply by wearing Dad's pants. This makes fun of the idea of partially unseen characters and cartoons in which adults are seen only from the waist down (e. Unseen characters are never directly observed by the audience but are only described by other characters g. Muppet Babies). Jim Henson's Muppet Babies was a popular American animated television series that aired from September 15, 1984 to December 29 Also, many jokes of the series use adolescent humor, which made the show somewhat controversial.
In some episodes, the missing upper bodies are used as a gag. For example in one episode ("No Smoking"), the cartoon "camera" accidentally zooms out too far, and shows Mom and Dad cut off at the waist. This is the complete list of Cow and Chicken episodes Pilot 1995 01-No Smoking This show is rateds TV-PG and on Teletoon Detour November In another episode ("Cow and Chicken Reclining"), Cow and Chicken search through a closet by throwing out everything inside, and for a small moment, the upper (human) bodies of Mom and Dad are visible as part of a discarded science project by Cow (however, considering the absurdist nature of the show's humor, this may be a throwaway gag). They are also occasionally seen driving a car with their feet, writing and grabbing on to things with their toes, and dialling a phone by kicking the numbers. Mom and Dad's shadows are also shown as being cut off at the waist in several episodes. Additionally, at the end of one episode, when Mom and Dad are driving, the camera backs up, showing that they indeed have no upper half. In one episode, Cow also "disguises" herself as Dad by wearing his pants, which nearly cover Cow's face.
When disguised, The Red Guy often is without pants or, if he is cross-dressed, in an impossibly short skirt, revealing his large red butt. The Red Guy's alter-egos names often reflect this in puns or more literal references, such as "Officer Pantsoffski," "Mrs. Bare Derierre," "Ben Panced," "Rear Admiral Floyd" and "Dr. Lax Slax"; Supercow will refer to the Red Guy's incarnations as "El Diablo sin pantalones" (literally, "the Devil without pants").
The show often breaks the fourth wall. The fourth wall is the imaginary wall at the front of the stage in a Proscenium Theater, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play I Am Weasel exists as a cartoon in the fictional world of Cow and Chicken, however this is contradicted in "I. R. In Wrong Cartoon" (a crossover between the two cartoons), when the Red Guy, disguised as a bearskin rug, says to Cow when she wants to take Weasel out of the TV to make him real, "He's just as real as you and I. " In "The Laughing Puddle", when the entire population of Folsom has gone into the titular puddle, Chicken states "Is anything in this cartoon ever going to make sense?" A few times throughout the series, some characters (usually the Red Guy) request for the cartoon to end.
