    Did Herc post this extra early or did I time travel again?

    I think that show comes on Sunday nights.

    by Shermdawg

    So he just tossed it up a day early. I could be wrong though, never seen it. Haven't landed it on the Cartoon Network since...god...since Space Ghost had a talk show on there. I dug that show back in the day.

    by Linguo_IS_Dead

    ...you said the word Twitter, then I lost interest completely. Besides, I'm more of a Metalocalypse fanboy.

    I like it, its Tartakovsky so I may be a bit of an apologist, the episodes are pretty formulaic, but they're still really good

    I miss the Venture Brothers episodes that were akin to Johnny Qu

    by SemenStains

    as opposed to all this same-suit organization crap... OSI, Sphinx, The Revenge Society etc etc etc Just get back into the X-1 and travel somewhere exotic to get harassed by the Monarch while Brock beats the shit out of someone PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE.

    by choonie

    Please Have contests where those of us who don't use that Twitter bullshit can enter please. Not all us of feel so self important that we have to pretend people care what we are doing every second of the day by typing it and posting it online.

    The four "IMPORTANT!!"s

    by AncientRomans

    I'm kind of with choonie on this one. I actually have a Twitter account but the fact is, I have a shitty job where they make, you know, be at a specific place at a specific time and do specific things and not be glued to my phone all day. Which is fine. You can't accomodate everyone. I get that. But the idea that I could win the contest and then NOT win it because I'm busy taking my pointless job seriously is irksome. But like I said, you can't accomodate everybody. So first I'll undermine my professionalism by leaving my phone on at work and then I'll further compromise my work ethic by answer silly trivia questions and then I'll realize that I forgot to address it @hercaicn or whatever and then I'll just turn off my phone and go back to selling people their Lil Wayne CDs. Sigh. Wish me luck!

    Not feeling the same Venture love this season

    by InActionMan

    I think Doc Hammer is holding too much sway over the writing this season. Doc's a good writer but, he never wants Ventures to go on any adventures. <P> So much genre stuff has come out that needs a Venture parody. BSG, Avatar, District 9 and on. <P> Also after 5 years of venture failure I think its time for just a little success.

    Yuck - that was terrible

    by Rex Carsalot

    Boring, and felt like it went nowhere and did nothing - and I'm as gay as Christmas and I couldn't be more bored with Shore Leave and the whole stupid Sphinx thing. I'm mostly on board with all of the show's changes, but it has really bogged down lately. And please, oh please, why the fuck can't Sergeant Hatred die horribly?

    I get that it's funnier if Rusty is a constant failure, but after so many years it stretches credibility, even for this show. The show seems to work best when calling people out on their bullshit ("You're a starfucker!"), and worst when they rely on Rusty to fail, Dean to be scared, Hank to blah blah blah. Or Sgt. Hatred to do anything - god damn that character is reaching Scrappy Doo levels of annoying lately.

    And yeah...Sphinx...they've explained it several times and it still makes no sense. Which I guess is the joke, but it's not much of a joke if you keep having to go over the punchline.

    fuck twitter

    by TheHumanBurrito

    Fuck it in its stupid ass. Why are you the only one using that irritating POS for things here, Herc? Between that and the one hour timer, you seem to forget that most of us don't sit in front of a television/computer screen all day.

    as it was explained in last night's episode

    by Bloo

    a nutcase wearing spandax pointing a laser at your head is a job for the OSI, a nutcase not wearing spandax pointing a laser at your head is a job for SPHINX. <P>but then they go out and look for "The Investors" who apperantly work for TGI, which doesn't make any sense.<P>I do like the idea of Sphinx though. <P>this season has had it's ups and downs but the Hank and Den entric eps were great as was last nights, I thought<P> and to the person above who was asking where Jonas Venture Jr was, he's in space

    Sphinx

    by sharpie

    Basically, the way I understand it, Sphinx is like a larger version of the A-Team. Hunter said if a person in regular clothes is holding a superpowered laser gun at your daughters head, you call sphinx.

    by ObiWanKenobi

    I was one of the lucky ones to win! I've never won anything before, so this was a treat because i'm a huge Venture Brothers fan and my birthday was last week! I was going to go buy it tomorrow anyway, but this just makes it even better! I tried to win the Star Trek Remastered DVDs a long time ago, and I lost out....glad I finally got a chance and won it! Thanks so much Herc!!!
