First of all, let me correct Fernando Gonzales by saying that this show IS still hand-drawn ... only the coloring and inking are digitally done. That's one of the reasons it's a favorite of mine, really.
Now, on to the review. It's not that I didn't think Jackson and Doc would be able to top Season One. It's that I knew they could ... and they STILL blew me away. If you've seen Season One of The Venture Brothers, you -need- to see this one. It's got everything the first had, and more ... the character development, in particular, is absolutely stupendous. The boys at Astrobase Go really know their characters, and they've started to show us just how much.
If you like your cartoons smart, funny, strange, and full of more clever pop culture references than you can shake a shrink ray at, check this one out. I did, at the urging of a friend, while the first season was still out, and I was hardly disappointed. VB is one of the few shows on television I actually care about missing, these days. I'm looking forward to seeing what the special features and commentary have in store, too - the ones on The Venture Bros. - Season One were phenomenal.
So, in the words of Dr. Byron Orpheus... "Yes! GO, Team Venture!"

Season Two outdid Season One on all levels, and Season One was no slouch. But the creators of the show figured out who their characters were, who was the most interesting, and became more confident in what they could do with them in the second season.
In other words, Dude, Season Two schools Season One! The aging "Scooby Doo" spoof with a domineering "Fred," angry lesbian "Velma" and Son of Sam "Shaggy and Scooby" alone was amazing, not just because it was clever but because it was well integrated into the whole Venture Brothers story line.

I love this show, simply said, I love it, and this season was a level above the last bringing even more excellence. The jokes are amazingly funny, the plots are amazingly funny, the characters are amazingly funny, it's just great. And one of the great strengths of the show is that you actually love the characters. Brock, although he is a Swedish murder-machine is a great guy when it comes to the kids. The kids although they are emotionally stunted freaks are intensely lovable. And although Dr. Venture is an immoral loser he's lovable in a George Costanza sort of way. All around excellent show, one that will go down for the ages as a classic.

I have seen all of season 2 and it is even better than season 1. I didn't think that it was possible to better the first dvd set but I was wrong! Quite possibly the best thing ever on television.

It's a classic that everyone in this planet ought to check out. Although I'm not fond of the computerized graphics (I'm a penciler fan, mind you) that lacks detail, I must say I'm quite fond of the plots and hilarious episodes and thus ignore the art. It's very comical and serves right to be watched by everyone.
