It always takes forever, but finally, we will have new venture brothers tonight on adult swim (11:30 pm EST, cartoon network).

If you haven't heard of the shown, trust me, you should get the dvds or watch it somehow. It's a wonderful satire of the old johnny quest style of cartoons from our youths, and such an accurate representation of many of the dysfunctional personalities you find in science/fandom.

Also, remember to tune in live or to watch within the next week on adult swim website - creators said in interview with wired.com that they don't have a deal in place for a 5th season yet. So every bit helps.

Well, I managed to wrench my mood around for the most part yesterday. Or maybe it was just because I knew the weekend was coming. *shrugs* I was just happy I didn't have any sort of headache last night since my new neighbor was having a quietly loud party (not loud enough for me to complain, but if i'd had a headache, it would have been really bad).

OMG, if you've never watched Venture Bros before, you have to watch this week's episode. Go to adultswim.com and click on the "fix" link at the top of the page. Ben Edlund penned this episode and wow, it's different from when Doc Hammer and jason publick write it, but it is so delightfully dark and well, trust me. You don't want to miss it. I can't say anything else without spoiling it, but all of you Tick/Buffy/Firefly fans HAVE TO GO WATCH IT. Please!! Or tune into cartoon network for adult swim on sunday night. I think it airs around 11:30, check your local listings.

Okay, gotta run to work and then B and I are going to do something. Sadly, no movies that don't suck are out. I'm really in a movie watching mood.

The Venture Bros Season 1 is finally available for shipping from Amazon (or you can find it in a store near you assuming they aren't sold out). Trust me when i say that you MUST have this hilarious series if you have any amount of warped sense of humor at all. Like Southpark -- you'll love this. Like The Oblongs cartoon -- omg, you must must must have this. Like Robot Chicken -- you'll get hours of enjoyment from adding this to your collection as well. Like the Tick -- this series definitely has the same tone of humor as that show.

Trust me, you must must have this. It's 14 episodes and will introduce you to the series so that you are all prepped to watch season two this fall on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block.

For a brief summary of the premise, the Venture Bros are a satire version of the old time cartoon Johnny Quest. Dr. Venture (James Urbaniak from Henry Fool) is an inventor,while sons Hank and Dean's insatiably curiosity lands them in hot waterwith supervillains, robots, magicians, and the like. Brock Sampson(voiced by the very funny Patrick Warburton of The Tick) is the good doctor's right-hand man, who rescues the boys with good old-fashioned manpower. The twist in The Venture Bros.is that every single character, down to the supervillains' henchmen,are complete and utter dolts, and their adventures are inspired more byfoolishness, personal obsessions (for Brock, it's sex and violence, andfor Dr. V, it's diet pills and a daddy fixation), or just plain cosmicweirdness than any sense of post-Kennedy-era adventure and derring-do.

Trust me, buy or rent or whatever this series. You'll thank me one you manage to catch your breath from the laughter.

Seriously, if any of you ever wonder about the type of people I work with, check out the Venture Brothers cartoon on the adult swim website. Cartoon Network and Adult Swim have started offering an episode per week of VB through streaming video -- I encourage you all to check it out.

Just be sure you aren't drinking liquids near your computer when you do so. :)
