Ive liked this show for awhile, but i just bought The Venture Bros., Season One on dvd. 13 episodes, this is a highly pyschotic and hysterically funny cartoon homage to Johnny Quest with thousands of other pop culture references.
Unlike other Pop Culture cartoons, like Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, ect, where the references are bold, shiny and shoved on you ... the references in VB are usually there to enhance the story and are subtle and sometimes hidden from the average viewer. making the show that much more alive.
The entire series is an homage, but thats the obvious part. underneath, the entire show is about failure. No one in this show is successful and everyone is pathetic.
Patrick Warburton does the voice of Brock Samson (think Race Bannon, Doc Samson, James Bond, ect.... to the ridiculous degree) the body guard of Doctor Venture (think Doctor Quest, but without the success. in reality Dr Venture is really the Johnny Quest type but all grown and pathetic) and then add Dr Venture's twin sons (think johnny quest and hadji or peter parker and fred jones... but really pathetic)...... this is definitely must buy.

definitely one of my favorite shows. I've laughed harder watching this show probably more than Family Guy, Simpsons and Futurama combined. I LOVE this show and anyone that isn't watching it should be publically shamed. with rocks. If you EVER watched Johnny Quest, and I know I did, then this show is for you.
