I have the attention span of a Monarch butterfly, so 22-23 minute animated episodes are perfect for me. This double disc set is a great buy. It contains 13 episodes and special features that include: Show pilot, Christmas episode, Deleted scenes, Behind the movie(?) scenes and Cast & Creators commentary. The show is centered around inept super heroes and mad scientists (which are equally inept). Main characters, Dr. Venture, his two sons and bodyguard Brock seem to just fall into meaningless adventures wherever they go. The super heroes all seem to have something against Dr. Venture and are foiled at every corner by their own stupidity. The sidekicks are the only ones who display any brain power. I recommend this 1st season to anyone with a twisted sense of humor or who enjoy South Park and the first three seasons of the Simpsons. Oh, and Johnny Quest too.Read full review
When I was a little boy way back in the sixties, I watched Johnny Quest on saturday mornings. Talk about cool! Monsters, lasers, jetpacks! WOW! It was realistic. The characters smoked and frequently were killed in gruesome ways. Imagine a childrens cartoon with that today. It couldn't happen. But a cartoon for older children who never grew completely up did happen. The Venture Bros. Is a dead-on killer take off on my beloved childhood cartoon. The animation is great, The stories are filled with laugh out loud moments. The voices are spot on. Make no mistake, this baby is for grown ups. Take some time and check it out. You will love its skewed take on the old adventure cartoons. They even kill off major characters! Be aware that there is nudity, violence, adult themes and lots of bleeped cussing. If that doesn't make you want to see it then remember, that If you ever wondered how astronauts go to the bathroom in space, these guys have the guts to show you what a full bladder will do to a spacesuit. In other words... If you are a bit warped. A bit uh... not right. Than you will enjoy it. Although I'm normal in every way. I'm just talking about you. Not me. Check it out. What have you got to lose besides about twenty five bucks?Read full review
This is easily my new favorite show. Itsm's "Johnny Quest Meets the Marvel Universe by Way of Adult Swim". My roommate and I binge watched this in a weekend and I almost immediately bought Season 2. Go Team Venture!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Probably the best Adult Swim has to offer to date. Hilarious spoof of both cartoon adventure lore AND the superhero/villain genre. NOT a kids show...but if you like humor that will make adults occasionally cringe a little, this is for you!!

I became obsessed with the Venture Bros last summer. Hilarious show with many great characters you'll become attached to along the way. I bought season 1 for the commentaries.
