Cow and Chicken is an American animated comedy television series created by David Feiss for Cartoon Network. The series follows 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 them. Late into the series run, the characters I.M. Weasel and I.R. Baboon, who were part of the series' recurring segment, I Am Weasel, were given their own half-hour series of the same name. Like Dexter's Laboratory and some other Cartoon Network series from the 1990s, the original pilot appeared as an episode of the animated shorts showcase project What a Cartoon!, the brainchild of Fred Seibert, then-president of Hanna-Barbera. The Cow and Chicken series first broadcast on Cartoon Network from July 15, 1997, to July 24, 1999, with reruns airing prominently on the network until April 2006. Reruns are played on Boomerang, which are rated TV-Y7. The series was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1996 and 1998.

The first Cow and Chicken short had rougher animation than the series that followed, and featured much darker themes. In the first cartoon, Chicken goes to Hell for smoking cigarettes, and is tortured by The Devil while he's there. After this harsh episode, the content of the series was toned down, the animation was brightened up, and The Devil's name was changed to "The Red Guy".
When making the second season, Cartoon Network wanted David Feiss to keep on making "I. M. Weasel" shorts. David Feiss didn't want to make any more, but agreed he would only if he could start using the Red Guy in the "I. M. Weasel" shorts. Since then, the Red Guy was a regular character in Weasel.
The episode "Buffalo Gals" was banned after its first airing, due to sexual references and lesbian stereotypes. The episode involved a pack of biker girls who wore buffalo hats (hence the name) busting into Cow and Chicken's house and tearing up the place. The leader takes a liking to Cow and they kidnap her, which means Chicken must go to her rescue.
It was David Feiss' ex-wife Pilar Menendez's idea to have Cow's alter-ego, Supercow speak only in Spanish.
A banned episode depicts lesbians. This was the first time to show a same gender relationship in a kids show. It was never looked at again until an episode of the show Clarence (2013), when it was depicted that Jeff had two moms. Strangely, only two weeks after that episode premiered, The Legend of Korra: The Last Stand (2014) became the first show to have a main character fall in love with someone of the same gender in a kids show, as the characters Korra and Asmi begin a relationship.
"Chicken: Is this cartoon ever gonna make sense?"
"Chicken: [trying to cheer up Cow] I know you hate being ugly, but someone has to make everbody else look good."
