Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Storm Rider:
Supposedly, Adult Swim renewed TVB for seasons 3 and 4 at once, so they began production on Season 4 right after Season 3 wrapped. I read on Publick's blog that they're hoping to have Season 4 air by Fall 2009.
KvP:
So anybody else see the season finale? I won't post spoilers, but one of the great things about the Venture Brothers is that they like to reference throwaway lines from the past, way back into past seasons, and there were some fine examples of that tonight.
Ahem, getting non-spoily, I'm betting the ending twist is a fakeout, even with the T-shirts they're selling.
Storm Rider:
I saw it, and I like how they undermined that thing they built up all season. It'll probably end up a cop-out, sure, but I thought it was a great twist. I feel like less happened in this season than in Season 2, but the finale definitely gave them plenty of things to explore next season. I think that because Adult Swim renewed them for seasons 3 and 4 at the same time, Publick and Hammer wrote Season 3 mostly as setup. It fleshes out a lot of characters, and introduces quite a few new ones, but there isn't a whole lot of forward action to the plot. I'm guessing that they're preparing for a much more dramatic season 4 since they knew they had the liberty of a season in advance of it.
My only real complaint about Season 3 was that there just wasn't enough Dr. Orpheus.
Chesire Cat:
Theres some ups and down for the character fleshing out theyve been doing. Notably, they havent been toying with the multitude of villains that they made up and paraded in episodes like the one where Dr Venture has the yard sale. Sgt Hatred is a knob of a char, and the other goto villain seems to be Truckulese. Id like to see more used. Also, yeah I totally love Dr Orpheus, his the blackula hunting, and gay alchemist, not s much. I just always enjoyed the fact that he always seemed to be doing menial tasks, like using his powers to rake leaves, and generally never getting any respect. Even though it would take Brock to take him out with his powers.
Chesire Cat:
Wait what? Its done for the season? This isnt how its supposed to end. 24 was a rock, he cant be gone, and Brock?! What the fuck he cant go anywhere.
Not to mention H.E.L.P.E.R. not that he cant get rebuilt but seriously! I thought there was another epi to seal these gaps in how things are supposed to be. Thankfully it was as good of a season closer as season 1 I guess. But really, what about Orb, did nothing come of that.
