Go Team Venture!

It's Venture Brothers!

Season Three is scheduled to start in June, but it's never too early to have a big fat Venture Brothers circle jerk.

Yesterday Jackson Publick posted this cast photo:

0004b702.jpg

He also posted some sad news :(
GRINCH!...
One sour note from the past month (aside from my car getting hit yet again) is that Mr. Stephen Colbert has decided not to reprise his role as Professor Impossible this season, for reasons which probably have something to do with him being all super-famous, super-busy, and no longer in need of a few hundred bucks here and there. We figured this would happen eventually, considering his monumental success in the years since our first season, but we held out hope that the WGA strike would leave him with enough bored free time on his hands that he'd have a go at it. But after getting shuffled around from his assistant to his assistant's assistant to his agent to his manager, one of them finally shot us an email saying: "Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project."

Was the "nor the interest" really necessary? I would have bought the "time" part without question, but man...you gotta kick a guy when he's down like that? Well maybe I'm not interested in your ice cream, mister! Or your book. Unless someone buys it for me for Christmas.

Social Entropy++, let's talk about or favorite show!

    This IS my favorite show. Season 2 blew Season 1 out of the water, let's hope the trend continues.

    Also: let's all get pissed at Colbert, that lousy fucker!

    I'm actually hoping that it's just his managers trying to hide it from him so they can have a monopoly on his time.



    EDIT: At least my favorite PhD. Doctor Byron Orpheus is still around.

    Don't worry, Dean's still in the show, of course. I just didn't have any particularly exciting variants on his design handy when I was going through the sixty or so characters for the collage. Hell, Hank's only there because he's got a big laser strapped to his chest.

    Well, movies, tv shows, speaking engagements, book deals
    All of which pay more than the show
    Don't get me wrong I love the show but I don't expect all of the cast to do it purely out of love

    I suppose their absence is related to last seasons cliff-hanger

    They should bring Dr. Impossible back, and give him a voice actor that sounds nothing like Colbert.

    Dr. Impossible: Now gentlemen, if you'll allow me to show you the way--

    Dr. Venture: Hold on a minute. What the hell happened to your voice?

    Dr. Impossible: I don't know what you're talking about.

    Dr. Venture: You sound completely--

    Dr. Impossible: NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS IS MY VOICE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY VOICE.

    ( fake subliminal message appears on screen for about half a second: COLBERT SUCKS)

    Dr. Venture: ...Okay. Whatever.

    Sucks about Colbert, but the fact these guys told straight up what happened instead of splashing some PR bullshit that makes everyone look good is definite points for them. Can't wait for season 3.

    you listen to the commentary

    they were all "we actually tried to get bowie to do the voice, but we sent the inquiry and the DAY after news breaks out that he's doing a voice for spongebob"

    maybe bowie instead of colbert!

    but in all reality bowie probably won't be there very much or if at all third season

    2: Someone should totally buy me the Venture Bros. DVD's.

    I wish the DVDs would come out over here, from what little I've seen on Adult Swim (on the very rare ocassions that I am A) watching it and B) Venture Brothers is actually on) I really want to see more of it.
