Anyone that knows me knows that I really don't have a whole lot of time for TV. In fact, the only shows that I watch with any sort of regularity are 'Chappelle's Show' (season 3, where are you???), 'Justice League' (although it's starting to get crappy), 'Teen Titans' (hey, my lady likes it...I just happen to be there while it's on. Seriously.) , and just recently, 'The Batman'. Well, it's time to add one more show to that line-up: 'The Venture Brothers'.
Lemme tell ya, if you're an old-schooler like me, and you remember the old 'Johnny Quest' cartoon (the OLD one, not the crappy 90's update), then you MUST see TVB. Total comic goodness. Imagine if Johnny had a twin brother; if Dr. Quest was a bitter and balding inventer that didn't really care for his sons; if Race was voiced by Seinfeld's "Putty"; and if their neighbor was a Dr. Strange rip-off with a goth daughter. Oh yeah, and the brothers seem to be living in the 60's as far as clothing and dialog go, while the rest of the world is in present day. The adventures that this pack of whackos get into will have you laughing til you cry.
TVB can be found on the Cartoon Network during the Adult Swim block, and while it's mostly sophisticated humor that the young kiddies wouldn't understand anyway, you probably wouldn't want the youngsters watching it due to the halarious innuendos and occasional dirty humor.
This is funny stuff, man. Either watch it or TiVo it, but don't miss it!
