Love Never Blows Up and Gets Killed

One of my favorite TV programs out on the cablewaves right now is Adult Swim’s “The Venture Brothers“. It’s a great satire that spoofs the old “Johnny Quest” series from my youth, replacing the super scientist father with a neurotic painkiller addicted dad that’s constantly milking his inheritance for all it’s worth, while his two sons find their way into mayhem that only their Swedish super body-guard can free them from. Throw in a suite of totally ridiculous villains and you’ve got a perfect take on old action shows with modern humor.

Behold the might of Brock Sampson, and the menace of evil butterfly henchmen!

Season 2 of The Venture Brothers dropped in April, and it even includes commentary for each episode.

Go team venture!
