I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Hey, Hammer does female voices when they want them to be particularly gimmicky : Dr Ms The Monarch's deep voice (which must be a strain on Hammer's voice by the way, considering his natural voice) or Billy's mom voice, which is meant to sound like her son's, so I don't really have a problem with it. But yeah, another female VA would be cool. Maybe they should just kill Brock and use the money to hire a lady to voice a new regular character?

Maybe Adult Swim should spend a fuckin' dollar

I imagine that Venture Bros. gets approximately zero new viewers every season. The people who love it love it, but it can't be all that profitable for the network and it's not exactly seen as some sort of prestige show by the world at large. I understand why they're so cheap with it.

But I also wouldn't mind living in a world where in 10 years it's just Doc and Jackson in a small office together animating it by hand and doing every single voice, then sending out each episode to 800 viewers. That's barely a step down from what it is now.

Doc and Jackson just abandon the animation part altogether and write megawords of official Venture Bros fiction. In order to read any of it, fans must get landline modems and spend hours attempting to get through to one of the four phone lines running into a BBS hosted on a wheezing, rickety old 486.

I would disagree. It is my understanding it is only growing in popularity, as I have meet more and more people just now picking up on the show. Lucky them, not having to wait 10 years for 5 seasons.

Getting On is pretty great. I used to love running to them. It was calming running listening to Doc Venture tell me a story on those muggy summer nights...trotting along the train yards of Raleigh...the city a glimmer in the mist.

I'm curious if Doc and Jackson would or could ever Kickstart extra funds for the seasons to be made slightly faster, or if that still wouldn't be ideal.

Doubtful. Pretty sure they've said a lot of the delays are due to their perfectionism.

At their last panel Doc basically said it's not about the money that takes them time to get episodes out but that basically they want the episodes to be really good so they take their time fleshing out the scripts. They promise that the extra effort going into season 6 and the buttloads of time until it airs will be worth it. They really haven't disappointed to this point. It is always a show worth the wait. My cousin was lucky as poo poo, being able to see all 5 seasons in one go without having to wait over 10 years to see it all.

The way I see it, I'm going to get all the Ventures Brothers there was ever going to be in my lifetime, having large breaks between seasons is pretty much the same as the length of time between movies, plus it keeps the good times rolling longer, so why even care about the hiatus? It's all the better for the polish anyway.

As I remember it, it was marked canceled for a while but then it reappeared. Then it reappeared on amazon. It's not clear right now if it's a mistake, or uncanceled.

Thinking of trying to get a friend hooked on the Venture Bros tonight. I've got limited time to hook them, so I want to pick a handful of early episode. Here's what I'm thinking:

- Actual episode of Johnny Quest for background
- Original pilot
- Park of Gary's recap from the start of season 4? Everything before the death of Hank and Dean?
- Dia de Los Dangerous!
- Eeney Meeney Miney Magic
- Ghosts of the Sargasso
- Return to Spider-Skull Island
- Powerless in the Face of Death

I'm conflicted. The original pilot and then the start of Dia de Los has a lot of really juvenile humor that might turn them off, but I feel like you can't skip over the introduction of the Monarch. I'd like to get to the clone revelation, just because it's a good hook. and Ghosts of the Sargasso is great. Maybe I should skip the original pilot? I feel like Dia is a bad intro to the series if you've never experienced Johnny Quest.

Thougths? Changes?

The pilot was very rough and I really wouldn't recommend it for someone new.

Honestly I would go with Tag Sale You're It. That introduces alot of characters and I honestly feel that is where the show gives it's strong points of what it's about.

edit: Hellz yeah three peeps saying the same thing!
