I would have to think there are some fans of the Venture Brothers cartoon on here? I had seen a few episodes over the years and always wanted to watch the whole thing and for a long time could never find it streaming. Been working through the whole series on Hulu over the past few months.
I've got to say I am a pretty big fan of the show. There are easter eggs galore across the series, it's pretty much a love letter to a whole lot of stuff. And like many shows, I really have come to love some of the supporting cast characters more than the main ones.
Favorite characters:
Gary #21 Dr. Girlfriend/Dr. Mrs. The Monarch Billy Quizboy Brock Samson

I've got another season or so to go, but I know I am going to be sad when I get to the end as I would want more.

I’m a huge fan. It’s very close to my favorite animated show of all time. Time to go fight some Blaculas.

I heart Venture Brothers sooooo much! Like I told my nephew back when he first introduced Rob Allen and I to the show: "venture Brothers mocks everything I loved as a child... and makes me like it!"
Cei-U!
I summon the 24-frames-a-second iconoclasm!

I go all the way back to the first season. My first episode was the one where they are dressed up as Princess Leia, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca ... and the Bat!
I have never rewatched the whole thing, but I do go back and check out particular episodes. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Victor. Echo. November.

Big fan, right down to the premise of a mock Hardy Boys/Jonny Quest adventure series, but with seriously messed up characters. I have a Guild of Calamitous Intent t-shirt that I wear, occasionally. Love the name.
I'm a big fan of mid-century modern and Space Age Modern design; so, I always enjoy the backgrounds in the Venture Compound (before they moved into the skyscraper). Love the failed technology. My wife isn't much for those kind of things; but, she is a huge Prog Rock fan and I had to show her the scenes of Dr Venture teaching Hank about Yes and other Prog bands.
I enjoyed quite a lot of the material that got introduced on Adult Swim: Home Movies (well, it predated Adult Swim, but that is where I first saw it), The Brak Show, Sealab 2021 (and I was a fan of the original Sealab 202, when I was little), Harvey Birdman, The Venture Brothers, Comboy Beebop....not so much Aqua Teen Hunger Force, though.
Jackson Publick, aka Chris McCulloch, wrote Tick: Karma Tornado and was a writer for The Tick animated series, when they extended the episode order. Edlund returned the favor on a Venture episode or two.
Love the retro music, too.
The SPHINX vs OSI battle was the SHIELD movie or tv series that I wanted, as it felt more like Steranko-meets-GI JOE-meets lunacy.

The Doom Factory episode with the villains based off the Warhol Factory crowd was fantastic.
I love this show and probably will have to re-watch it again once I get through the whole series.

We have a trailer for the Venture Bros. movie. I honestly wasn't sure we'd see this in my lifetime. It's supposed to release this year, direct-to-video and will then follow 90 days later streaming on HBO Max.
