24 is definitely dead.

Yes.

But we weren't so sure back in the day. At least, we weren't sure he was dead-dead. At the time, the belief that he was an actual ghost and was present was a big deal, especially at the end of the first half of the fourth season where you see, quite briefly, a costumed arm and hand check the Venture brothers off of 21's list of people who were responsible for killing 24.

It only seemed less likely to be 24's ghost when the second half of the fourth season actually showed him. At least, that's where I started to question if another henchman was messing with him or if 24 was an actual ghost. Man... the big, accidental reveal in "Operation: P.R.O.M."... that actually choked me up a bit. (Like I said in an earlier post, this episode was amazing and could have been the series finale. For the eventual series finale, they'll have to top this one, and I am not sure they can.)

Speaking of essential episodes, and hook episodes... what does everyone think about maybe adding "The Doctor Is Sin" to the pile of essentials? I just love Killinger so much; I would put each of his episodes in that list.

Also the orphan from the joy can.

My headcanon for that was he had good intentions for the orphan(like with that Mexican kid who was his Hadji when he was a kid himself), but something screwy happened, kid died, and since Rusty is a practical sort, he decided to use what was left of him to finish the Joy Can

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

I always took it as he needed a corpse and orphans go unclaimed, not like he had a kid murdered.

I wasn't saying that either, just that he tried doing something nice and it ended badly

If any Ausgoons are thinking of getting the DVDs, there's a season 1-6 box set coming out 23rd of May for $47! And if you wait til JB has one of its regular 20% off DVD sales, it'll only be $37.60. For all the Venture Bros ever made.

Everything getting released on blu would be great, although physical media will likely be dead by the time the final episode has aired.

Hulu is indicating that seasons 1-5 are going away at the end of April, does anyone know if there's another service that's going to be picking up Venture Brothers? Seems really weird since the other Adult Swim content I looked at wasn't. VB was half the reason I signed up for Hulu.

It's funny someone thinks they are gonna be step brothers (mostly due to how Rusty's dad fooled around alot) but yeah looking at it now, it's totally because they used to be crime fighting pals.

Though I guess their stint was short (plane crash etc) as Blue Moprho was rarely around.

Not only will physical media be dead, but by the time the last episode comes out, mankind will have evolved into beings of pure thought and energy. There's won't be physical anything.

I’m having trouble figuring out what is or isn’t expiring from Hulu. I saw that at least part of Steven Universe was expiring and went and checked the Venture Bros and didn’t see anything about it from the expiring tab.

You can buy the seasons digitally on Amazon. But you also have to spend 5 dollars for the various specials. Which is dumb, because All This and Gargantua 2 technically is part of season 6.

Are you serious? That's pretty much one of the only reasons I signed up for Hulu too is when my old VB DVDs stopped working.

I might have to go with the YouTube purchase idea, at least the internet will never stop working. :downs:

I've preordered twice. Either I cancelled the first one or it was cancelled for me, back when the book was first delayed for like 2 years

Also I started the commentaries the other night :3: it's a shame they didn't do it in every episode on season 1.

Yeah, the original book is a different listing than the current one. The first one was just an art book, the new one is an art book and a retrospective.

I also preordered the old one and had to cancel it and re-preorder the new one (and they wouldn't honor the price), so I can just go to my order and find the book's Amazon page and get you the ISBN, which is

quote:

ISBN-10: 1506704875
ISBN-13: 978-1506704876

edit: note to self I'm gonna have to change the address on this order because I'm moving before it releases

Looks like Venture Brothers and most of the other Adult Swim and Cartoon Network shows that were going to be taken off Hulu are no longer set to expire*, guess it was just a temporary licensing thing they were sorting out

*although Dexter's Laboratory got removed
