‘The Venture Bros’ Saved? HBO Max Chief Says ‘We’re Working on It’

‘The Venture Bros’ Saved? HBO Max Chief Says ‘We’re Working on It’
A ton of shows have fallen victim to tightened budgets amid the infuriatingly still-ongoing, disastrously managed Covid-19 pandemic, but of all the canceled shows of 2020, the one that hurt us perhaps the most was “The Venture Bros.” The Adult Swim series, which had run for 7 seasons over 17 years, got the axe in September despite having been renewed for an 8th and final season back in 2018.

But in an exciting plot twist, it looks like the show may get that finale in some form or another after all on HBO Max, and apparently it’s due in part to the cult show’s extremely polite fans. And lest you think this is just a rumor, the happy news came straight from the mouth of HBO Max general manager himself, Andy Forssell.

“The Venture Bros fans are passionate, but incredibly civil. I’ve received tons of emails, all of which are short very well written notes,

HBO Max is Working to Save ‘The Venture Bros.’ After Its Recent Cancelation by Adult Swim
These days, there’s always the hope of a second life for a canceled TV show. Especially if one has as long a run and as passionate a fanbase as The Venture Bros., which was recently canceled by Adult Swim after 17 years (but just 7 seasons) on the air. And it seems that the #SaveTheVentureBros. campaign […]

How The Venture Bros. Helped Comic Book Tropes Evolve

How The Venture Bros. Helped Comic Book Tropes Evolve
There’s nothing new about comic book and superhero parodies. Many films within the current superhero cinema system like Deadpool even turn a self-aware eye to the source material, while shows like The Tick poke fun at the medium with exaggerated character types. A lot of the material that pokes fun at comics, however, does so for the simple joys of parody or to highlight the intrinsic silliness of superheroes. Adult Swim’s classic and now sadly-concluded animated series The Venture Bros. goes about things a bit differently.

The Venture Bros. didn’t begin as a direct analysis of the form and genre, but it gradually started to tell a story that used comic book tropes to show how dangerous and destructive superheroes can be and how they perpetuate a dysfunctional world. The Venture Bros. will gleefully indulge in parody, but it does so to highlight what’s wrong with

A Venture Bros. Season 8 May Very Well Happen on HBO Max

A Venture Bros. Season 8 May Very Well Happen on HBO Max
Anyone that’s watched Johnny Quest can probably take a look at Venture Bros. and assume that the story takes after the model without having to be told. What isn’t similar however is how the titular brothers tend to die so often only to be replaced by clones with no recollection of ever dying. It’s definitely been a show that has been meant to be on Adult Swim along with many other shows that share the macabre nature of those that attract so many interesting fans. But while it might still hold a lot of interest for people the announcement that

Venture Bros. Canceled While Season 8 Was Being Written

Venture Bros. Canceled While Season 8 Was Being Written
Seventeen years and seven seasons, it seems like we may have seen the last of Hank, Dean, and Doc Venture. Word broke on Twitter over the weekend that beloved cult animation series The Venture Bros. has been canceled.

There are very few details at this time, but The Venture Bros. co-creator Jackson Publick did offer a brief statement on Twitter confirming the news.

“Unfortunately, it’s true: #VentureBros has been canceled. We got the highly disappointing news a few months ago, while we were writing what would have been season 8. We thank you, our amazing fans, for 17 years of your kind (and patient) attention. And, as always, We Love You.”

The thought of there being no The Venture Bros. Season 8 is almost too much to bear, especially considering how the most recent two seasons were perhaps the best in the show’s history.

‘The Venture Bros': Yup, That Clown’s Voice Was Exactly Who You Thought It Was

(Note: This post contains spoilers for the Sept. 16 episode of “The Venture Bros.”)

Adult Swim’s “The Venture Bros.” loves to slip in extended gags and references to beloved cartoons and movies — and sometimes they’re even the butt of their own jokes.

Viewers watching “The Unicorn in Captivity,” the seventh episode in Season 7 of “The Venture Bros.,” you likely heard a familiar voice in one of the new supervillain characters introduced: Presto Chango, a shapeshifting clown who can stretch his body into all kinds of shapes. Of course, if you’ve got an evil cartoon clown in your comedy about superheroes and villains, there’s really only one choice for casting.

9 of the Best Marvel Comics Jokes in ‘The Venture Bros’

  • 15 August 2018
  • by Phil Hornshaw and Ross A. Lincoln
  • The Wrap
Few shows have the depth of pop culture knowledge — and ruthless willingness to parody it — that “The Venture Bros.” does. This is especially true for comic books generally, and in particular the Marvel Comics universe.

“The Venture Bros.” is full of references, parodies and straight up jokes about the House of Ideas. There’s even a two-episode joke about the very first Marvel Comics issue from 1939. Here are nine of our favorite Marvel references from the seven seasons of “The Venture Bros.” so far.

Crusaders Action League — The Avengers, but Jerks

The Ventures wind up in New York in Season 6, and there they find the superhero game is a little higher-class than they’re used to. On their first day, they encounter the Crusaders Action League — a group of characters that’s essentially the Avengers with a splash of Justice League. It consists of Stars & Garters, a Captain America analogue

First Trailer For DC Animation's Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay Looks Brilliant

The first trailer for Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay has arrived, and it looks promising. That used to be something you wouldn't have to say about DC Animated Features, but they've been spotty as of late in my personal opinion so all I can say here is the trailer looks pretty damn good. The lineup of heroes is better than the live-action film, Tara Strong is voicing Harley, and the violence doesn't appear to be limited as Quinn just smacked the head off that frozen guy! Let's just hope Vandal Savage is more interesting this time around than he was in Legends of Tomorrow. Christian Slater also stars in the film as Deadshot!

Go Team Venture! The Venture Bros. season 7 coming next year!

  • 22 September 2017
  • by Damion Damaske
  • JoBlo
The Venture Bros. is an amazing show. One of the things that makes it a great show is that the show is pretty much made solely by two dudes, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer (Christopher McCulloch and Eric A. Hammer, respectively). This is great, because it keeps things consistent and keeps a distinct personality running throughout the show. The issue is that episodes take Forever to produce. For instance, the last episode...

The Venture Bros. Won't Return For Season 7 Until the End of 2018

I've got some good news and some bad news for all of you fans of The Venture Bros. The good news is the series will return to Adult Swim for a seventh season! The bad news is we won't see it until November 11th, 2018! Yikes!

The return of the series was announced on Adult Swim with a bump that was uploaded onto YouTube by a fan, which you can watch below. The bump aired on Friday and discouragingly points out that it's been 543 days since The Venture Bros. Season 6 ended and that we have to wait 422 days for Season 7 to premiere. 

That means by the time Season 7 airs, two years, seven months, and 22 days will have passed without any new episodes of The Venture Bros. That's a long ass time to wait! Hopefully, the world hasn't ended in a nuclear holocaust by the time it's supposed to air!

The Tick review: a laugh-out-loud superhero satire

Ron Hogan Aug 25, 2017

The Tick, out now on Amazon Prime Video, is huge fun. Here's how the show achieves what its creator envisioned 21 years ago...

In 1994, I was about to be a freshman in high school. Despite being “too old” for cartoons, there wasn’t really anything else on television on Saturday mornings while I was waiting for wrestling to show up on my television screen. I remember most of the cartoons I saw only in the vaguest terms: the creepy face of Louie Anderson’s gargoyle animated child or a screaming purple cat. I know the name of both shows because I looked them up prior to writing this article, but I couldn’t tell you anything about them. However, one show I watched regularly in the mid to late 90s stuck with me well into adulthood, and that’s the 1994-96 animated version of The Tick.
