The Venture Bros.
Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny
Season: 3
Episode: 1
Air date: 2008-06-01

The wait is over. The truths and half-truths about Dr. Venture's former arch nemeses, Dr. Girlfriend and The Monarch, are finally revealed (albeit obliquely) in an episode spanning twenty years.

A HD 16:9 upgrade of the show, plus we finally get to see the origin of Dr. Girlfriend and her romantic past with The Monarch, whose pre-Monarch past is also showcased here.

The Doctor Is Sin
Season: 3
Episode: 2
Air date: 2008-06-08

Guest stars: Paul Boocock,Steven Rattazzi,Lisa Hammer
Dr. Venture learns that a life with no arch enemy is not nearly so sweet when he finds himself besieged by C-list pretenders to the Monarch's throne, and his super-science business once again on the rocks.

I enjoy it whenever a character in a comedy comes close to having character development, even if "comes close" is carrying a lot of weight.

I honestly thought that Killinger pegged Rusty as a Nazi (instead of an archvillain) when he had Rusty arching Jonas Venture, Jr. His shock at what he had to sign kinda befuddled me for a sec. The fact that Rusty looked at his costume when he said that didn't help.

The Invisible Hand of Fate
Season: 3
Episode: 3
Air date: 2008-06-15

At long last, The Venture Bros. peels away the onion-like shrouds of time for a look back into the troubled past of America's most beloved hydrocephalic former boy genius.

It's kinda cool to finally see Billy's backstory as a quizboy and his past with Pete White, along with Fantomas' storyline here (and an early Dr. Girlfriend). The G.I Joe parody is hilarious too.

Home Is Where The Hate Is
Season: 3
Episode: 4
Air date: 2008-06-22

As The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch settle into their new home and a new, no-more-arching-Dr.-Venture anymore life, Dr. Venture receives an unorthodox introduction to his new Guild-assigned nemesis.

The Monarch going back to his old ways is a bit disappointing, but given his history with Rusty, it makes sense. Just hope Monarch's relationship with Dr. Girlfriend doesn't go back to that "will they/won't they" status again because it's an exhausting trope that's not much fun. I never get the appeal of it. Either build up the relationship or don't.

Other than that, this episode is mostly a series of gags and references. The Moppet subplot is fine, the standard henchmen shenanigans. Sergeant Hatred's pedophilia towards the Venture boys has been touched on before (pun unintended), but it's still as shocking as the first time that this was greenlit (even if it's played for laughs), continuing showing the series' audacity (or perhaps irreverence). I initially thought it was kinda brilliant that a villain named Sgt. Hatred is all friendly and amicable but nope, just a pedo.

The Buddy System
Season: 3
Episode: 5
Air date: 2008-06-29

Guest stars: Dana Snyder,Brendon Small,Steven Rattazzi,Lisa Hammer
Dr. Venture, in a bid to make some much-needed money, opens up the compound as "Rusty's Day Camp for Boy Adventurers." But while the children are kept busy with activities.

Hank: Hey, Pop, can I show my new friend my bedroom? I’ve never had a friend in there. Ya know, Pop, I’ve never even had a friend.
Rusty: Hank! Stop calling me "Pop"! If these kids find out that their hero has had sex… their heads will explode.
Hank: But I want to show my new--
Rusty: This isn’t all about you, Hank. These kids want to see Rusty Venture. Maybe when there’s a cartoon called The Venture Brothers… it’ll be different.

This was a pretty packed episode full of hilarious gags, but not much in plot development. Just a run of the mill episode where Rusty runs an adventure camp, but also have the usual Venture Bros. cast do their gimmicks, from Action Jonny still losing his shit to Brock wanting to strangle a teenage bully.

Triana and Dean are cute together. Always neat to see the usually spineless Dean stand up for himself.

Sgt. Hatred's gag is getting old, but at least it's short.
