Summary: Venture Bros. Season Two
Comment: Product was received a few days after I placed the order. Packaging and condition of the pproduct were excellent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: All I can say is this is the best cartoon series I've ever seen. I bought the dvds for my boyfriend's birthday and we have thoroughly enjoyed them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Love it, love it, love it!
Comment: I have to admit that I was wondering how the 2nd season could trump the first. It's a common problem with great series where all of the good ideas are used in the first season, or they fold to pressure & create ridiculous triangles or use cliche plot devices. Not so with the Venture Bros. Any plot cliches or triangles are used as either a parody device or something to actually further the plot along rather than something to spin wheels with.
This season sees the fleshing out of the Monarch & Dr. Girlfriend's relationship, as well as showing a little more of all the characters you've grown to love.
The DVD set is pretty nice, and I love the feel of the cover art. Since most of the jokes are brought from old series & movies, it's highly suitable to make the poster for the cover have an aged feel to it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Insanely hilarious
Comment: Prepare for an even more hilarious season of the greatest cartoon on TV - better than 'Aqua Teen' because it's more intelligent, otherwise that would be the sentimental favorite - as the episodes follow a season-long story arc involving the Monarch's attempts to win back Dr. Girlfriend.
As Dr. Venture, Brock and the boys continue their misadventures, they manage to parody Scooby Doo, 'Oz,' 'The Manchurian Candidate' and even Henry Kissinger. Add to that Dr. Orpheus trying to get his old super-hero team back together (hint: one's a homosexual monk, and the other is a 50-something version of Wesley Snipes' Blade character with a crackhead-like addiction to Nik-L-Nips... you remember, the syrup in a wax bottle?). If you DON'T remember, the Venture Brothers may be lost on you. Constant pop-culture and old-school cartoon references keep quick heads laughing the entire season long.
As always, Hank and Dean Venture's complete lack of any practical knowledge provides much of the humor, but the interaction between each of the neurotic characters and how they all deal with the fact that they're basically running around playing superhero continues to delight.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's Venture Bros. Nuff said.
Comment: The second season of the Adult Swim show, The Venture Bros., is a purchase you'll thank yourself for making. My wife and I watch an episode nearly every day, and we find a new reason to laugh ourselves silly each time.
This is what a cartoon should be.

An inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoons such as "Johnny Quest" The Venture Bros. follows the bizarre mis-adventures of Hank and Dean who believe themselves to be an unusually gifted team of "brains" and "braun" while actually possessing very little of either. The boys travel the world with their renowned scientist-father Doctor Venture -- and treat even the most mundane situation as a bold new adventure. As a result they often find themselves in danger with a host of oddball villains -- but rarely find their way out. The rely instead on their body-guard/undercover government agent Brock Sampson voiced by Patrick Warburton of "The Tick" and "Seinfeld" fame to save them.Running Time: 295 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM UPC: 053939781625 Manufacturer No: T7816
