Where's The Love for "The Venture Brothers"?
How can you not love a show on the Cartoon network that works in a "Tom of Finland" reference?

9. last night was good
i watched every episode the first couple of seasons, then was without cable for a long while, and am now trying to get back into it...I fear I've lost the story of all that has happened up until now (not that there was much of a 'story' to begin with)

10. We watched it once and really didn't enjoy it.
I think it's for a decidedly younger generation (we are both 35).

11. I'm 37 and I love the show
there are a lot of references for us, from the basic "failed grown up Johnny Quest" setup, to a lot of the jokes.

I will say this - it took a second or third viewing to really enjoy it. I bought the DVDs for fairly cheap on Amazon, which is what hooked me.

12. I'm 44 and I Love It
The broad theme for the show is sad failure. Everyone, for one reason or another, is a sad failure in life, and they all have their own way to cope with it. That's an extremely bold point of view for any American television show, esp. an animated one.

13. It's one of my favorite shows on TV right now.
Lots of great stuff in every episode, but Brock *always* delivers a laugh or two.
