    by el-gorko

    If Herc bothered reading Publick's blog, he'd know that this is just a picture showing characters from the season in unusual garb. No one is wearing their standard wardrobe, save Hank, but he's also got a giant laser strapped to his chest. Dean isn't included because he didn't have any special wardrobes that they've animated thus far.

    Go Team Venture!

    On the right, that's got to be Crime-o-dile! I've wanted to see him in an episode since he was mentioned in the henchmen encounter group in 202 (or 201).

    by brandloyalist

    Spotting them was part of a two question X-mas contest there on Publick's blog. The other question was, which of the characters, if any, does this room belong to? Damned if I know either answer. As for Dean - could that be a mutant version of him all the way on the right?

    Sucks about no Colbert though...

    by audiokaratekid

    Anyone happen to read Jackson Publick's site where it states at Stephen Colbert will not be returning this year as Professor Impossible? That is just not cool on so many levels. Regardless though, this is the best non Anime show on Adult wim and pretty much the only reason to watch the comedy block (besides Robot Chicken) now that Futurama is on Comedy Central. Can't wait to see it back.

    Venture Bros. Returns in.......

    by blakes7

    JUNE 2008. Production on season 4 (thank god) has already begun, so season 4 should start not much longer after season 3.

    Also, if you look carefully, you will find Dean; he's right behind Hank. More specifically he looks to be "FutureDean." One can assume that the big gun Hank is strapped to is possibly a "FutureRay." :) I am amazed Herc actually reported on the Venture Bros. He actually is starting to report on genre shows people actually watch, and not just covering the latest release of the newest Buffy (COMIC) in the what is supposed to be the TV section.

    This sort of makes up for his total and utter lack of any real Dexter coverage.

    I like the show but I don't find much repeat value in it. I say Birdman is the best show to come out of the AS universe. Pretty sure thats not the consensus here though.

    OMG! Needed This Update!

    by cheif brody

    Thanks for reporting on what is THE best Adult Swim show. Who's the new chick in the silver space suit with the pink hair? Can't wait to find out!
    Yes...I jerk to Triana...but...I also jerk it to Erin from the E-surance commercials, so take that for what it's worth!
    Colbert really let me down by not returning...perhaps they should pay him in pesos ("You know...all these zeros are meaningless")...but Professor Impossible looked to be in pretty bad shape at the end of "Twenty Years to Midnight"...Maybe he died? I think the season should open with the Venture's at his funeral talking about what an ASS he was. And Impossible has to be buried in a casket 140 feet long...but only 2 feet wide...as his body didn't contract after expiring.
    And, yes, gimik...you should be watching this show. Go over to the YouTube and punch in Venture Bros and watch a few episodes. And Series 7, I think they're actually better upon the second viewing. I miss so many things laughing at shit the first time through.
    Others missing from the cast photo...H.E.L.P.E.R, Baron Underbiet...and Dr. Henry Killinger. I miss Phantom Limb, Dr. Girlfriend & The Monarch, too! Bring on the Ghost Pirates...and GO TEAM VENTURE!

    Triana's friend

    by scratcher

    Probably the most disappointing absence is Triana's friend and potential Dr. Wife's henchgirl. Don't they realize she was the character we most wanted back?
    I disagree about replay value on this show. I just recently rewatched the 2nd season and it was just as hilarious. We need more episodes, more often.

    maybe a misunderstanding

    by necgray

    Colbert doesn't strike me as the type to pull a dick move like that. Either his assistant took what he said the wrong way (as in Colbert meant it "in character" and the assistant didn't realize it) or Publick took it the wrong way. OR Publick and Colbert don't want SAG to find out that he's doing voice work. Some shows, particularly Aqua Teen, will use pseudonyms for their guest stars. OR maybe Colbert really is a dick. But I doubt it.
