Go Team Venture!

Not that I'm going to make any observations that 100 other people haven't already made, but it's been a good season so far. I thought originally it might be too heavy on the back story stuff, but that was only the first few episodes. Certainly season 2's first few episodes were amazing, and it's taken this season a little bit to warm up to that level, but I think it's pretty much there now.

thursday night at comic-con:

5:30-6:15 [adult swim]’s The Venture Brothers— Jackson Publick (creator and voices of
Hank Venture, The Monarch, Henchman 24, Pete White and Sgt. Hatred) and Mike
Sinterniklaas (voice of Dean Venture) speak about [adult swim]’s original series, The Venture
Brothers. Now in its third season, the show picked up after the explosive wedding of The
Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend from the season two cliffhanger. Room 6B

this would be the first time adult swim's ever given a panel to one specific show - doc hammer and jackson publick always go to the adult swim panels, but they only usually get 7-10 minutes to talk about their show and then play a video. this is going to be really cool to get to see them discuss it for so long.

[yumitree]

oddly, the panel you posted had no mention of doc hammer.

According to Jackson' Publick's blog, production has officially begun on season four! Hopefully this means we won't have to wait another 18 months between seasons.

Yeah, that's great! Venture Brothers is definitely the best show on Adult Swim now. (Shin Chan's a close second)

(I wonder what this year's cliffhanger would be, if there is one)

[heatherm]

i know doc's not on the lineup for the panel i posted, but he's been at all the previous adult swim panels. who knows if he'll show up for this one. it's going to be really good either way though.

Hank's the best.

"Maybe it's...all a dream?"

I enjoyed all the VH1 Classic references in the latest episode, but to be fair, I had to use the Mantis Eye website commenters to understand the majority of them.

I've been enjoying the amount of backstory that this season has been giving us, but it's nice to have a few stand-alones such as those in the past few weeks to keep the show moving forward.

Holy crap! Astrobase Go! is offering a new t-shirt design based on the Venture Bros. for each new episode they release this season! Unfortunately each design is only available to order during the week of its episode, so we've missed some awesome ones.

I can't wait to get my Order of the Triad t-shirt, I'm going to wear that thing so hard!

Best episode of the season! This and last week's episode is what I'd been waitin for the whooole time.

"We're like those guys on TV that never get shot. Like main characters!"
"Don't jinx it."

Yeah, I was laughing out loud through most of this one for the first time this season.

[nadsat droog]

I don't know, it seemed like this week's show was like half an idea stretched out over one episode. It was good, but it felt empty. Until the very end that is, what a tease!

[tockxie]

Good lord... the Monarch and Dean interaction in this episode was everything this series is supposed to be.

[jon]

One thing I do like is that the last few episodes have focused more on Hank and Dean that the first few, and certainly more than a lot of season 2. Plus, I love the casual familiarity between the twins and 21 and 24. "Okay, now I believe you're Hank's friend."

I am kind of sad that the Manatee (or whatever his name was) is gone already. I would have loved for the Monarch to spend more time with him. But, I'm certainly not disappointed with how it was resolved. I can't help but wonder, though, if the Monarch will be overwhelmed now. Not just because there are more scientists/heroes for him to fight, but because they're actually, you know, competent. The Monarch and Rusty seemed a good match because one's subpar organization (old musty gadgets) counterbalanced the other's (henchmen like, well, 21 and 24).

Also, "...like so much butterfly-themed Romulus and Remus."

Did anyone else hate the fact that Dermott said "Would you believe Brock's long lost son?"

[JayRunner]

That didn't bother me because Dermott was already told by his mom that's who Brock is. And the exchange between him and 24 that followed was pretty funny.

[mezmorized]

Monarch having sex with the robot in spite of Dr. Venture made me smile all day.

Now Museum, Now You Don't

Featuring the most shocking return of the year!

[jon]

So what did people thing? I thought it was...okay. A little ragged, and JJ's new voice still distracts me a little, but I like the way they left things with the Monarch.
