The new Hulu comedy Crossing Swords isn’t your typical family-friendly stop-motion animation series. In fact, it’s not family-friendly at all — but you would know that already if you have seen anything on Robot Chicken. Created and written by Robot Chicken executive producers John Harvatine IV and Tom Root, Crossing Swords takes us to the time of royals, peasants, knights and mythical — and things get hilariously lewd and quite graphic. If anything, it will make us look at toy peg people in a completely different light. Seth Green , who lends a voice to the series and also serves as EP was more than excited to reteam with his Robot Chicken cohorts to tell this very fun — and R-rated — story. “John [Harvatine] and [Tom Root] came up with this concept and all I had to do was say it was awesome and then help get it to air,” Green told Deadline. “I’ve really let them do the bulk of the heavy lifting with the development and the production of the show — but I am …

But after last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys and Sunday night’s ceremony, the 15-time Emmy winner came out zero for 21, setting a record for most Emmy losses in a single year. 73rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: Deadline’s Full Coverage The Handmaid’s Tale bested AMC’s Mad Men , which earned 17 Emmy nominations in 2012, winning none. Northern Exposure and The Larry Sanders Show also came up empty in previous years, going zero for 16 in 1993 and 1997, respectively.
