I am back again to pontificate and spout off without shame about the entertainment I think you need to be wasting your time with.
Today's lesson: The Venture Brothers.
It can be seen on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Cartoons for adults, insomniacs and anyone with a sense of humor. Season three will be starting in June.
It follows the adventures of Dr. "Rusty" Venture and his two sons, Hank and Dean and of course the family body guard, Brock Sampson. Rusty is living in the shadow of his Bond like father and struggles with things like dating, science and parenting. Villains and adventures are behind every corner. Thankfully Brock has a license to kill and the villains beyond being funny, just plain suck.
The show is from the writers and creators of the super hero cult classic, The Tick. It features a few things that many adult cartoons lack these days: complex characters, a story line, and some sense of continuity. Not to mention cool animation.
However it is in no sense serious. Each half hour show features more crazy villains, sick humor and violence than the eye can handle.
