The bar for adult animated comedy will probably be set permanently at The Venture Bros.

It's unquestionably the most cleverly-written Adult Swim show, with the best looking production quality on top of that.

I just watched the episode where the Triad is trying to draw some guy's spirit out of hell by talking about the worst things that have ever happened to them. I don't think I can go into detail here without being modded, but I had to pause Hulu to catch my breath.

I'm also just getting around to watching it. Nearly through the first season and enjoying it so far since I grew up on Johnny Quest.

I heard the show becomes amazing in the later seasons.

Definitely. If you're enjoying it now, you're going to love it later on. Its really amazing how much the show and its characters grow and change throughout the years. Even minor and joke characters from the early seasons can become major characters with meaningful arcs and development.

No kidding. Dean and Hank are aging and I was not expecting such a silly show to have such deep plotlines. My favorite character is Henchman 21, though.

I just started rewatching this again the other week! I remember loving the early seasons back when they first aired, but they definitely felt clunkier and kinda under-cooked compared to the later ones on this rewatch. Not that the earlier ones aren't still good, but the later seasons are so good.

I think the show only really figured out its identity in the second season, and then hit its stride in the third season, and just kept improving from there.

I'm really happy to hear that it just keeps getting better. That's hardly ever the case with most shows.

Chief among the mountains of praise I could heap upon my all-time favorite animated show is how well it rewards you for being an attentive fan. Not just in the sense of fan service, but actually paying off seeds they planted many seasons earlier; one of the most noteworthy of these being (BIG spoilers) Season 7 paying off Orpheus' seemingly-comical prediction in Season 1 that the Action Man would suffer a stroke.

One of the creators (Jackson Publick, I think) was a writer for The Tick (90's cartoon version), so in hindsight it's not surprising that what they really wanted to do with VB was focus on deconstructing the superhero mystique and treat it like an everyday job, complete with unions, arbitrary rules, and assloads of paperwork. The more basic Jonny Quest parody probably helped them pitch the show in the beginning, and then they were able to move further away from that once they got renewed for a second season.

You will love what the show does with him and clamor for more, then realize there shall be none ever more. Shit is weak, but hopefully well see it again on air.

season 8 wasn't even necessarily the end. it could have been renewed again. but to renew it for two, and then unrenew it instead of just saying "this is it, write a good ending" is really fucking low.

HBOMax? Time to be Batman.
