'The Venture Bros. - Season One'
(James Urbaniak, Christopher McCulloch, et al / 2-Disc DVD / NR / (2004) 2006 / Warner Bros.)

Overview: Once a child prodigy, Dr. Venture now fails as both a scientist and father. Luckily, his twins, Hank and Dean are too stupid to care. And they've got their vicious, macho bodyguard, Brock, looking out for them. Together they'll get in all sorts of situations involving wild alligators, street ruffians, and booby traps. Brock really likes the booby traps.

DVD Verdict: 'The Venture Bros.' is quality television in a way that mankind rarely sees these days. While most cartoons rely on a consistent formula of the same jokes and storytelling, Venture Bros. evolves and unfolds much like a great novel that you just can't put down. It helps answer questions such as "What would it be like to live nextdoor to a professional necromancer?", "What's the everyday life of a butterfly-winged villain when he's not being evil?", and mostly importantly, "What would happen if I were to throw a yard sale and invite all my arch nemeses?" Watch it and be hilariously hooked on every character's unique persona. You'll find yourself praying for your favorites to make an appearance while a Johnny Quest-esque overdramatized theme catapults you into a hysterical and witty universe. Once you watch a few episodes, you'll have to see the rest; once you reach the season finale, you'll be clawing at your television for more! Brock makes this series way funnier than you'd expect because of his brutal tactics of guarding a Venture and his facial features while beating enemies up are hilarious. Things get better with Team Venture as they come to meet their arch nemesis that stinks at the job nobody gave him. Again, after the first few episodes you won't be able to get enough of Venture and you'll be stalking Adult Swim for new episodes! This is a Full Screen Presentation (1.33:1) and comes with the Special Features of:

13 episodes on two discs

Show pilot: The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay
