"Me i'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest, honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly stupid" -- Capt Jack Sparrow
An inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoons such as "Johnny Quest," The Venture Bros. follows the bizarre misadventures of Hank and Dean, who believe themselves to be an unusually gifted team of "brains" and "brawn" 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. They rely instead on their body-guard/undercover government agent Brock Sampson, voiced by Patrick Warburton of "The Tick" and "Seinfeld" fame, to save them.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Venture Bros. But in season 2, they seemed to fall into a pattern with the way thier episodes are structured.
It seems like they tend to create new pairings of different characters each week and separate them out to follow their own hijinks. Like one week will have Brock and Hank over here, meanwhile Rusty and Dr. Orpheus will be off doing something else. Cut to Dean and the Monarch doing their own thing. Then cut to those two Monarch henchmen, then cut to another pair, and another, and another...
These segmented groups never really interact with each other, and for me it tended to create some discombobulation in the stories. I know this sort of thing happened somewhat in the first season too, but in the second season it was much more evident. Even still, I'm not sure I really hate it, just that it's different, and I'm not sure it it's good or bad.
OK, great, but where's my The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy on DVD?HMMM? Getting annoyed because the only time I can find it on all week anymore is 1:30am on Saturday morning... and I needs my fix.
World of Warcraft: Delissandra - Blood Elf Rogue (retired) - Feathermoon

I don't know about all that. All I know is season 2 made me laugh way harder than season 1.
