Space Chicken Game
Bubba Lual
"Space Chicken" is the 1st episode, initially a pilot, of the first season and the 1st episode overall of Big City Greens. Canonically however, it is the second episode in chronological, and production order.
Then Cricket came up with the supplies to use as to catapult the chicken, as he used a cinderblock and a wooden plank and try jumping on one end to launch, but only a little to launch it. Cricket decides they need more man power, and he asks a boy walking along the sidewalk in front of their yard if he would like to help them launch a chicken into space. The boy says his parents wouldn't approve, but Cricket says his parents aren't here, so the boy decides to skip his violin lessons and join in. As Cricket introduces himself and Tilly, the boy introduces himself as Remy.
Cricket and Remy sneak into Gramma's room to look for an old piece of clothing to use as a slingshot. Remy accidentally knocks over Gramma's wooden leg and thinks he broke it, but Cricket assures him it's been broken off for years. As they get the old clothing they need for the slingshot, they accidentally wake up Gramma. Gramma gets mad at the two boys for trespassing and says they're gonna have to pay the "ultimate price", which is kisses, which annoys Cricket. But Gramma angrily insists the two of them each give her a kiss. They reluctantly do so, and then she tells them to get out, which they do.
As Cricket is about to launch the chicken off the roof, Tilly says to tell the chicken he believes in her. Cricket says that's silly and he won't do it, but he does, and he attempts to launch her into space, but he slips and accidentally launches the chicken into a local cafe, which infuriates the barista, Gloria, and her customers. Cricket realizes he's in big trouble as Gloria confronts Bill about Cricket thinking "it would be fun to launch a wild animal into [their] cafe", and one of the customers claimed there was a chicken in his chicken salad, and it ate some of it, which disgusts Gloria. She then asks Bill to "keep the animals on [his] side of the fence", including "little what's-his-name". As Gloria nervously left, Cricket introduced himself to her, and called out to her, "I'm your new neighbor!"
A frustrated Bill tells Cricket that this is exactly what he's talking about. For not taking his advice properly, he sends him to his room for the rest of the day. Cricket thinks he's joking, but Bill assures him he isn't, and firmly gestures Cricket to his room, which he angrily does. Remy asks if he should go into Cricket's room too, so Bill scowls at him too, which scares Remy into Cricket's room. As he does, Bill wonders "who the heck was that?" While in Cricket's room, he and Remy notice a rocket and decide that will have enough power to launch the chicken into space. When Cricket catches Tilly in her bed he tells her two things: To stop "daysleeping" and to help them launch the chicken into space with the rocket. Remy asks Cricket how they can get out without his dad noticing them, so Cricket points out a secret exit - through the bottom drawer of his dresser. As they escape, Remy asks Cricket if his room gets cold at night, and Cricket replies "very much so."
As they are about to fire the rocket, Cricket speaks through a traffic cone for all of Big City to come and watch him launch a chicken into space. As they fire the rocket, Cricket is excited, and the chicken is nervous. But when the line reaches the end, instead of the rocket blasting off, all that happens is fireworks and a small American flag popping up. Everybody leaves, which panics Cricket, and he starts launching all of the hens into space, each attempt failing, as he only managed to launch them onto people's faces, and one on the windshield of a guy's car, which makes him crash into a telephone pole, which cuts the power in the Greens' house, which makes Bill realize that Cricket is back to his shenanigans. After they run out of chickens, Cricket decides to launch the one they tried to launch from the beginning - the one who is still wearing the tiny helmet. Cricket launches the chicken the farthest he's ever launched, and whispers that he still believes in her. As he releases the chicken, he successfully launches her into the sky.
As Bill and Gramma come outside, Bill wonders what just happened, so Cricket explains he just managed to impress their new neighbors. As a couple of kids stop by and tell the Greens they're awesome, Bill is impressed himself. As the four of them engage in a friendly wrestle, Remy asks if he could join in on the roughhousing as well, so they allow him to do so. The episode ends as the camera shows the final chicken made it safely back to earth, landing atop a building.
Cricket Green and Tilly Green, two children, are introduced to their new neighbors. A jogger who listens to music via an earpiece hears a strange sound and takes his earpiece out. The tractor catches fire, and Cricket and Tilly are mowing the lawn with the tractor. Bill, Cricket's father, notices the fire and tries to put it out. Cricket explains that he has seen danger before and loves it. Bill tries to impress their neighbors by introducing them to Mrs. Lewis, a grumpy old woman who lives next door to the Greens. Cricket tries to impress the neighbors by launching a chicken into space, but some are hesitant. The story highlights the challenges faced by children in adjusting to city life and the importance of making a good impression on their new neighbors.

My kids love the egg noodles in this soup! If you plan to finish the soup in one sitting, cook the noodles in the soup. Cooking in the soup would lead to more flavorful noodles, but the noodles will continue to soak up the liquid when stored for later. Once the soup is fully cooked, remove the chicken to make some room, briefly turn off the machine, then turn it back on by pressing the saute function. Add a bit more water and egg noodles and cook per package directions.
I believe the add-ins totally elevate this dish, and my favorites are a squeeze of lemon juice, freshly ground peppers, a splash of half n half (heavy cream works too), and red pepper flakes for my husband and me. I also love to add radish slices to mine for some crunch. My kids prefer chopped avocado.
Cook the noodles separately if you plan to store leftovers when making chicken noodle soup. Store the soup and noodles separately and combine right before serving. This way, you prevent the noodles from absorbing all the juice. I typically heat leftover soup in a pot over the stove and add the noodles once the soup is simmering
Alternatively, take out the chicken to make some room and add more water if needed. Turn on saute function. Once the soup is boiling, add noodles and cook per package direction. Add more salt to taste.
This makes me so happy. My hubs and kids all love this soup too. I recently learned that if you want to store leftovers, cook the noodle separately and only add the amount you will eat to the soup. Store the extra noodles separately from the soup for later!
After the chicken is cooked, I transfer it to a large bowl and remove the bones. The chicken gets so tender that it falls apart as I take it out of the Instant Pot. I usually wear a disposable glove and simply use my fingers to pull the meat apart.
Space ChickenAlso known asThe Chicken From Outer SpaceVoiced byHoward HoffmanSpeciesAlien ChickenGenderMaleFamilyHis wife
3-Headed sonsEnemiesCourageColor(s)WhiteFirst appearanceThe Chicken from Outer SpaceThe Space Chicken is an alien chicken that first appeared in the What-a-Cartoon short dubbed "The Chicken from Outer Space," and returned with his last appearance in "The Revenge of the Chicken from Outer Space" (though he does make a few cameos throughout the series). He was also the first antagonist that victimized Eustace and Muriel Bagge, as well as the first antagonist that Courage faces in the series.
The Space Chicken greatly resembles an Earth chicken. He is a large, fat, white-feathered bird with skinny black legs and an orange beak bigger than his head. He has a blue wattle that ranges from a light blue to a darker looking blue. He also has a pair of glowing red eyes with no pupils.
In the Revenge of the Chicken from Outer Space, he is seen again in his headless roasted appearance with his red booties now changed to blue. He later gains the head of Eustace (and with it, his voice).
Space Chicken has two well-known known weapons: his laser gun and a toilet plunger. Neither of them worked well for him, though. His laser gun is first seen in the What-a-Cartoon short; after Courage bested him at every challenge he threw at him and then told him to leave Earth, he got angry and tried to shoot Courage with it. Sadly for him, it backfired and he ended up roasted. Courage then used the same weapon to zap a fully transformed Eustace.
The gun does change designs in the series. In the short, it was large and in very light shades of green. It also had rings on the front and had a small satellite and light bulb. Later in the series, it shrunk in size and was made a darker green. It also has a blue "shark fin" and purple frills on the sides. He never uses it in his return episode, but his son did. He did, however, use a toilet plunger to remove the heads off of various objects...including Eustace.
