The Venture Bros.
I haven't really heard anyone else in this forum talking about this show which makes me curious as to how many members of MB watch it? If you haven't it's the warped adventures of a former "Boy Adventurer" (similar to Johnny Quest) turned "super scientist" who is constantly living in the shadow of his deceased father. The show has an eclectic cast that is extremely close knit and well rounded. The characters are all explored in episodes and given good characterization. The best part of the show is the continuity. Many animated shows don't bother to follow any (Family Guy, The Simpsons, ATHF, etc.) but this is one of the few that actually does which I think is important as it gives long time viewers some inside jokes that other viewers wouldn't understand. Anyhow the show is one of the most twisted and yet charming TV show's around and if you haven't seen an episode before, do yourself a favour and start!
