GOOD! The more time this show spends on Brock Sampson and secondary characters, the better it is. Episodes that are Hank/Dean centric are BORING! The only ones that I really enjoyed were the one where they're on a double date in the restaurant and where Baron Underbite is marrying Princess Leia. And those are mainly good IN SPITE of Hank/Dean. Sorry, but the namesakes of this show are the weakest point.

whether he's outright homaging, parodying, or just coming up with some new little ditty, his score is a constant delight - the last two episodes have featured some of his better creations to date.

WTF!
I should hold seminars on how to piss people off or something. I haven't watched the episode yet. I'll let you know if it pleases me or not. Quick question... does it come with like a free blow job or something? I could see that pleasing me quite a bit. Or at least some Dr. Girlfriend nudity or something?

And did you see that new costume? Yes, that's what I call an upgrade.
All that being said, I liked last week's episode better, but this one was ten times better than the first episode.

Great ep though, it is turning out to be a stellar series.
MonkeyM666 wrote:It's must just be you.... I actually thought that this was one of the better looking eps of the whole series. Really nice and clean, and very similar to some of the jungle cutaways that were used in ep 1 of season two's opening sequence.
5:30-6:15 [adult swim]’s The Venture Brothers— Jackson Publick (creator and voices of Hank Venture, The Monarch, Henchman 24, Pete White and Sgt. Hatred) and Mike Sinterniklaas (voice of Dean Venture) speak about [adult swim]’s original series, The Venture Brothers. Now in its third season, the show picked up after the explosive wedding of The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend from the season two cliffhanger. Room 6B

That's because when Venture Brothers or South Park do it, it is smart. They actually manage to build three-dimensional characters and situations around their reference points, creating something new in the process.
When Family Guy does it, they expect you to just automatically laugh because you recognize the reference. "Hey, they've recreated the opening credits from The Great Space Coaster! I remember that show! Haw haw!"

Well, I wouldn't call South Park-episodes like "Make Love, not Warcraft" or "Imaginationland", which basically only consists of geek-approved, copyrighted material, smart. Neither would I say Venture-episodes like "Ice Station Impossible" a.k.a. "Look, Mr Fantastic is an ass and The Thing is mentally disabled" or the episode where the Scooby Doo characters all act like famous serial killers, smart.
But I pretty much agree about the three-dimensional characters. Like I already mentioned: "Unlike so many other cartoons for "adults" they just don't rely on sex, violence and popculture, but write interesting stories and make you really care for the characters." That's pretty much the only reason why I didn't gave up on the show.
I remember watching season 1, because it seriously made me laugh most of the time, but suddenly, when the end credits for the finally episode rolled, the Monarch was in jail and Dean & Hank were roadkill, I realized that I really wanted to know what happens next and how much I care for everybody on that show!
You will probably here me from time to time complain about the popculture references on that show, because it just make me cringe, everytime they do stuff like "Look, Johnny Quest is a drug addict now!" or "Look, it's Voltron with an Ice cream cone!", but everything else is so great in that show, that I can't be mad at its flaws for too long.
