Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

Team Venture is Go.

Venture Bros. fans will be happy to know that Team Venture is Go.:

I have just returned home from the Adult Swim 'Upfronts' (and the ensuing bar crawls and requisite, hangover-preventing pizza parlor visit) and so it is official...The Venture Bros. has been picked up for another season of 13 episodes!​

Tasty.

"I don't even feel like taking a whizz on this! I used to DREAM about taking a whizz on this!"

Was watching the Venture Brothers last night the one where they are all tied up and hanging over the swamp, but Dean gets this pain and according to the Guild of Calamitous Events rules that means they have to let them go for 48 hrs to get the problem fixed (Before they are killed Naturally). After finally finding out what was wrong with Dean from The Boy Genieous and the Albino, Doc Venture said "I knew I should have worked that problem out in the prototype."

All I'm saying is that I want more Dr. Orpheus. He's the best friggin' part of that show.

"Pumpkin! You've changed out of your jam-jams into...the clothes you were wearing last night. How froogle of you."

GO, TEAM VENTURE!

Hope all the same voice actors are in it; wouldn't be the same without Brock Samson.

I'm surprised we don't see more Venture Brothers references around here, in sigs, etc.

In general, I'm surprised the show isn't more popular. I've gone to download episodes through P2P clients--the most accurate gauge of fandom currently known to man--and they're not terribly easy to find.

The show's a mix of action and comedy, so much so that it has bounced around Adult Swim's Saturday night action lineup and the Sunday night comedy lineup a few times at least. That's gotta make it hard to cultivate an audience.

And I have to agree with what others have said regarding the Venture Bros themselves as needing a bit of an overhaul. They aren't funny. Of course, the show's creators may have figured that out for themselves, which is why they're dead.

The action should not be underrated. Remember the fight between Samson and Molotov Cocktease? Very detailedl choreography in that little scrap.

Once you have a DVR, it's so easy to forget that normal people have to actively tune in to catch shows...

Well, that, and it comes on at FREAKING MIDNIGHT! I understand why, but you don't see more Venture Bros. References for the same reason you don't find that many Aqua Teen Hunger Force references, compared to, say, Family Guy or King of the Hill or Simpsons references - not a lot of exposure to anyone but the night owl crowd.

The DVR made this show possible for us to watch. I can't encourage people enough to tape it (or whatever they have to do) to make sure that they can catch this great show!

Venture Bros. is clever. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is...not.
