Charles Adler Biography (1957-)
Cow and Chicken is an American animated series , created by David Feiss. The series shows the surreal adventures of a cow, named Cow, and her chicken brother, named Chicken. They are often antagonized by "The Red Guy", who poses as various characters to scam or hurt them. The series was nominated for an Emmy Award in and Like Dexter's Laboratory and some other Cartoon Network series from the s, the original pilot appeared as an episode of the series What a Cartoon!
The Cow and Chicken series first broadcast on Cartoon Network from to the year , with reruns airing prominently on the network until April Late into the series run, the characters I. Weasel and I. Baboon, who were part of the series recurring segment, I Am Weasel , were another counterpart into their own series.
Reruns are played on Boomerang , which are rated TV-Y7. Cow and Chicken are brother and sister, who have human parents whose faces are never seen in an episode.
In the pilot episode, " No Smoking ", their bodies have no upper halves. In the episode "Cow and Chicken Reclining," when Cow is digging in the closet and pulls out what would be their upper halves, she refers to them as her science project.
In the same episode, Mom's shadow appears with the upper half of her body cut off. The creators were faced with the question of whether and how to explain this scenario. This is all that is ever offered in explanation, though there is one hint in the episode "The Day I'm Born" that Cow is adopted, and Chicken's parentage has been told about in the episode, "Which Came First? 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 idea of Cow and Chicken first existed as a story that David Feiss had made for his daughter. Later, Feiss was called to submit any ideas he had for the series "What a Cartoon! Feiss submitted three ideas for the series to Larry Huber, the series' executive producer.
One of the ideas was Cow and Chicken. Although most cartoons in the series had never gone beyond one short, Hanna-Barbera had decided to turn Cow and Chicken into a full series possibly since the Emmy Award nomination of the original short , following many letters from fans asking for more Cow and Chicken cartoons.
The Cow and Chicken series premiered on July 15, , and ran for 52 episodes through Reruns continued to be shown on Cartoon Network until April 10, The show also included a cartoon called I Am Weasel as a supporting segment; this segment was spun off as an independent series late in the show's run. Typically, an episode would consist of two seven-minute Cow and Chicken shorts playing back-to-back, then followed by a seven-minute I Am Weasel short with separate theme song at the tail end, before the end credits.
The exception to this structure was episode "The Ugliest Weenie" , which had the Weasel short "I Are Big Star" play in-between the two Cow and Chicken shorts, possibly because said shorts were one storyline. Other actors provided supporting voices, including Dan Castellaneta the voice of Earl. David Feiss himself did the voice of a clown in an episode called "The Great Pantzini". Today, the series is often labeled a classic of the late s Cartoon Network cartoons the collective Cartoon Cartoons.
Cow, voiced by Charlie Alder who also voiced as Chicken and Red Guy , is Chicken's 7 year old sister, with a weight stated as pounds. Cow looks up to Chicken, who she refers to as "Big Brother". She is often viewed by Chicken as infantile and stupid, and is quickly prone to emotional outbursts. She is the only character to appear in every episode of the show. Cow has employed Blackmail to get Chicken to do what she wants and often attempts to get the other characters to do the right thing.
She also enjoys drinking her own milk. Her frequent quote is "Fairy Princess! Cow's alter ego is "Supercow", a superhero with the ability to fly.
Supercow's powers lie in a green blanket and her outfit is purple with a logo on the chest which resembles that of Superman. Cow first became Supercow in the pilot, "No Smoking. He can be mean to his younger sister, and even to the rest of the family. He has a powerful ego , but in spite of this, has a powerful conscience, usually only displayed when Cow is in danger, as well as being more intelligent and sane than most characters, and his selfish actions can actually come to others help.
An example of all these can be found in the episode "Comet! However, when a real deadly but small comet arrived, Chicken's protections actually worked and he was forgiven for his prank. His speech is riddled with malapropisms and sarcasm. Despite being a male, he demonstrated the ability to lay eggs. Chicken is very fond of ice skating. Like other chickens, he cannot fly, and is afraid of flying. Chicken is the only character in the show who knows that his sister and Supercow are the same person.
Chicken even once turned into his own alter ego, calling himself "Wonder Wattle" to save his sister. Whereas Supercow speaks fluent Spanish, Chicken required the help of a Spanish dictionary. He is also shown in the episode "The Bad News Plastic Surgeons" to have high skills in plastic surgery.
Despite his name, Chicken more resembles a rooster , including having a wattle. The Red Guy, voiced by Charlie Adler who also voiced as Cow and Chicken , serves as Cow and Chicken's incompetent arch-nemesis throughout the series whose trademark is his usual refusal to wear pants.
He was originally portrayed as the Devil in the pilot episode where he attempted to tempt Chicken into smoking and lure him down to Hell , although later episodes remove any outright connection between him and Satanism.
In later episodes, he spends his time trying to either scam, annoy, torment, humiliate, physically harm, or outright kill Cow and Chicken.
Later in the series, despite the long history of animosity between them, Cow, Chicken, and the Red Guy are portrayed as friends in some episodes. He displays odd mannerisms such as rolling around on the floor or walking on his buttocks to get around and uses very exaggerated tones in his speech. He seems prone to mood swings , often going from smooth and witty to loud and ranting in an instant. He often disguises himself as an authority figure principals, kings, queens, lunch ladies, police officers and other things and wears disguises such as small shirts, wigs and short skirts.
In some episodes, multiple and seemingly distinct Red Guys are present, usually working together, which raises the question of whether or not the Red Guy in each episode is a different one each time. Catch phrases include: "Hello, it's me, [whoever he is]," "I'm going to be rich ," "Fetching! A running gag throughout the series deals with the fact that The Red Guy does not wear pants or underwear , and seems to take pride in his buttocks and his nudity similar to a nudist.
In fact, he often goes to extreme lengths to avoid wearing pants. He often introduces himself with fake names emphasizing his lack of pants i. Jeans Begone, Lance Sackless, Mr. Cheeks, etc.
A lot of The Red Guy's explanations for why he pulled a certain scam involve something bad that happened to him when he was 9 years old. While in a therapy session, The Red Guy revealed he had no idea that wearing pants was required in school, stating he was too young to know such a complex fact. Flem, voiced by Howard Morris , is Chicken's best friend who has thick red lips. He and his father both wear glasses. Of the three Earl, Chicken, and himself , he is the one most often sent to perform tasks, because he is considered the ugliest or fattest.
Flem is named after one of David Feiss's friends in middle school who was not good looking but was very loyal. Earl, voiced by Dan Castellaneta using a higher pitched version of the slurred, drunken voice Castellaneta uses when he voices Simpsons character, Barney Gumble , is Chicken's other best friend who wears a red baseball cap and braces. He and Flem both have a secret crush on Cow. Earl lives with Flem and Flem's Dad. His brother is Professor Longhorn Steer.
On screen, only his legs and waist are shown. He is identified by green pants and brown loafers. He boasts his manliness, stating that even the most mundane of tasks such as driving in the snow "bring out the man in him".
Dad does not seem to know about Cow's birth and once stated she was born in a cabbage and claimed, "That was the best cabbage we ever had". Like his wife, sometimes he also seems to be insane. For example, he once woke up his kids at a. Sometimes he indirectly refers to himself as a woman when talking about a clock passed down to all the girls to his family, he said that his mother gave to him, when he was giving said clock to Cow or to Mom as a man "start your day off like a man, just like Momma".
Mom, voiced by Candi Milo , is Cow and Chicken's mother. Like Dad, only her legs and waist are shown on screen and is identified by a white dress with red polka-dots, a yellow apron and red flat shoes.
She is prone to giving her children advice that is strange: "Never go to the carnival naked" or "Never run around in a burning school auditorium".
She is sensitive, as shown in one episode, crying when Chicken asked what would happen if a guy goes in a girl's bathroom though it is hinted she might have been worried Chicken would commit voyeurism. In class Teacher will say "Shut your pork traps!
Also, she responds to Chicken's strange, even contradictory observations, such as realizing the Earth is cubic, with "That's why you go to school! Cow and Chicken has a total of 52 episodes in 4 seasons that were produced from November to April 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 pummeled and beaten usually by Supercow.
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 so he can "die happy". 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. Muppet Babies. Also, many jokes of the series use adolescent humor, which made the show somewhat controversial.

According to the recent "Spotlight On China" study by Ernst and Young, China is expected to be the world's largest movie market by Who'd have thunk? According to my talk with some Chinese delegates yesterday, TV is for children and housewives they said frankly and honestly. This past week, voice actor and director, Charlie Adler , and I had the pleasure of speaking to a number of animation students and professors from The Beijing Film Academy at Loyola Marymount University. With the help of our two student interpreters, Ming and Edwin from LMU, we talked to them about the creative processes we go through in order to produce animation here in America.
Able to create one distinctive character after another, Adler does it without makeup, without costumes, without props. All he needs is his talent and a microphone. So versatile is the year-old actor that he was recently named one of the 13 top voice actors by Animation Magazine. Sarah Baisley, editor-in-chief of the Agoura Hills-based industry trade magazine, says the major criterion for inclusion on the list was having created a large number of memorable, original animated characters. Mel Blanc notwithstanding, the people who excel at this are rarely household names, a situation that Baisley deplores. It irks her that big-name actors tend to garner most of the praise when they contribute to an animated series or film, overshadowing the professional voice actors.
