Start watching Venture Bros. because the world needs more TV like it

If you haven't heard of Venture Bros. shame on you, but you're not alone. It's an excellent show with new episodes every other year airing on Adult Swim. VBs is incredibly weird, funny and complicated. The premise is a story of a family living in a world full of heroes, super scientists, villains, and boy adventurers. Where Venture Bros. succeeds is making all of these characters real people. They have anxiety, problems remembering lines, acne issues, and they fail A LOT. Trying to organize it all are two groups: the OSI or Office of Secret Intelligence and the Guild of Calamitous Intent. There is plenty of infighting and a plethora of varied rivalries. I can't really explain it better than that. It's best just to watch.

The show takes a little getting into, and that, along with its insane production schedule and terrible time slot; has led to bad ratings. Cartoon Network has been close to canceling it several times, but they have a well-known soft spot for weirdness, so Venture Bros. has stayed on the air. However, that can't last forever.

I say we need it because, even with the ton of outstanding TV airing now, there's not enough strange out there. If everything becomes a gritty drama or smart comedy, that will stifle innovation. We want what many are calling the "golden age of TV" to continue right? If your answer is yes, watch this awesome summary the Venture Bros. producers cooked up last year and see if you're not hooked.
