Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

[Henry]

I love the show, and fervently hope it gets another season. I've written Cartoon Network, and the rest is up to them.

Brock Samson, the "Swedish Murder Machine", is by far the most entertainingly written character, and my personal favorite episode was where they are caught by pirates.

What no love for Steve Austin and his Domestic Partner Sasquatch? Doesn't anyone remember those episodes from the 6 Million Dollar Man?

Love the show, think it's hilarious.

Favorite characters are Brock (arrives at the UN, kills an alligator wth a knife, then gets the eye twitch when the guard says he can't go inside the building with his knife: "Go ahead. Take it from me.")

and Dr. Orpheus. Emerging from bathroom at the courthouse, he proclaims, "I wouldn't be too quick to venture in there. I had Taco Bell for lunch!" Totally dramatic, over-the-top, hilarious.

There's more, too much to list. Great stuff, much laughter.

The first time I saw it, I though it was the dumbest thing I'd seen on CN. I gave it another chance, though, and it's really grown on me.

One of the best shows on TV right now.

The Monarch is absolutely amazing. He's a lot like Dr. Venture from his voice to the fact that he's so narcissistic. Love his interactions with Dr. Girlfriend. Absolutely love her, from her appearance (the 60s outfits) to her butch voice.

Dr. Orpheus is hilarious. He never speaks, but shouts, screams, pontificates, and howls like a preacher. Except when he refers to his daughter. What's he call her...? Pumpkin? Precious?

I like the Venture Brothers. It's great to see that they're friends rather than polar opposites that can't get along. They have distinct personalities and seem utterly unaware that they're father is an extremely abusive, neglecting jerk. They're just good kids.

Brock Sampson! Mullethead with the great voice of Wharburton. Love when he wigs out and goes nuts before he starts killing people off. The delivery of his lines is nothing less than spectacular. As well as his infatuation with getting it on with a rival spy.

The whole show's a riot. From the clearly adult situations (handled in a mature fashion) to the spoofs on old Johnny Quest and other Hanna-Barbara cartoons, to the Fantastic Four (Barun Underbite -- I know there's another way to spell this-- is a hoot when he shows up) and other comic book characters, this is one of the best shows in Cartoon Network. I heard that they were renewing it...

Dr. Orpheous is great, infact I like all the characters... All in all Venture Brothers is one of the better showes on TV today (which seems strangly sad).

They [The Venture Brothers] have distinct personalities and seem utterly unaware that they're father is an extremely abusive, neglecting jerk.

That's sort of what bugs me about them. They're clueless and not in a terribly funny way.

What no love for Steve Austin and his Domestic Partner Sasquatch? Doesn't anyone remember those episodes from the 6 Million Dollar Man?

I loved the henchmen interaction, especially the guy who recites the "Before I met Monarch, I was hooked on crack cocaine. Monarch turned my life around" speech.

Speaking of Johnny Quest parodies, what was the name of that other one? I think it was on an episode of Freekazoid. It was the one where "Race" yelled at a bunch of people in a casino, "Heads up, you heathen monkeys!" and then threw a barrel at them. That was his solution to everything ("If only I had a barrel!").

 

[Mad Mac]

I think it's overall a pretty entertaining show, but I have to agree that the Ventures themselves are the weakest part of the cast, and by a large margin. I realize that their cluelessness/general worthlessness is part of the parody, but as it is, they very rarely succeed in being entertaining. Hank has some potential in him though, if they develop it more. All Dean has going for him is his crush on the Necromancer's daughter...he needs more.

Dr. Friggin' Orpheus. I love him. "Who wants...PIZZA ROLLS!!!"

If AS don't renew this show they're nuts. It's got a great balance between their completely WTF 15-minute comedies (Aqua Teens and Tom Goes to the Mayor, especially), and the more plot-driven half-hour network castoffs like Family Guy and Futurama that they rerun.
