It's priceless to see Jackson and Doc try to keep a straight face as they field the "What about Hank and Dean's Mom?" question. Myra is their Mom. They already made that episode. WTF?

Yeah. All we got from that was she and Doc had sex. They never have confirmed or denied anything about it.

Than why did Dr. Henry Killinger attempt to reunify Dr. Venture + Hank + Dean with Myra, using his Oni as the means to?

He used the ONI to reunite Dr. Venture and Myra. Not the family as a collective. However this doesn't change the fact that Myra is their mother. Just because you don't like Myra doesn't mean she's not the character she seems to be.

No, no, no. You can't prove that. Doc and Jackson have been evading that for a while. Even this time, they said, (paraphrasing) "If we get interested in answerimg it, we'l answer it."

I didn't get that vibe at all from "Caged Bird". The tone of the conversation in the car at the end made it pretty obvious that the maternity question was being left entirely open. Dr. K. trying to reignite the fires between Doc and Myra probably has nothing to do with Doc's children.

The guy who asked the last question on the highlights "Is Orpheus bring 24 Back?" was sitting next to me for the entire panel and even asked me that question before he went up there.

He was insistent that Dr Orpheus would care enough to bring 24 back from the dead... some people just need to let go.

It's impossible for 24 to come back, I mean his voice isn't being imitated at every college and fast food shack across the u.s. because its so -hard- to copy. Sure guys..you gotta believe that one.

Open suggestion to fans at conventions: please, please, if you can't do the voice, don't ask questions in-character. 24 at ComicCon was kinda funny, White and Molotov here make me cringe a bit.

Doc seemed really exasperated by the stupider questions.

Wow, I didn't even realize that one of the people was using a Pete White voice. That doesn't bode well for them. (The Molotov voice was good, I thought! It's just that she seemed to keep pausing for breath or something which made it overly obvious that it wasn't natural.)

Interesting fact: My girlfriend is the first person either Doc or Jackson ever saw dressed as Pete. True story.

And nerds don't have girlfriends? Honestly I'd have thought that stereotype died out around 1992.

There was a delay on the Venture Industries shirt, so that probably is holding up production. They'll get here, I'm sure...you still have nothing to fear. :-)

Ha, I couldn't figure it out either.

Overall I wasn't hugely impressed with the pilot, but it definitely has potential. I'll check out a few more episodes when they air. I really do like David Wain in the main role though.

I really don't know. I think the guy with the ring, yeah, and I thought the Lettuce sounded a bit like an even-squeakier Tim-Tom (or is it Kevin?)

The pilot wasn't the best, but I like the Willy Wonka Prison idea, and the animation was the best I've seen in a production for television in a long time.

From JP's LJ:
I honestly can't remember which voices I did in the pilot, other than one effeminate inmate who comes back a few times over the course of the season, as do I. Most of the characters speak in grunts or single lines of dialogue.

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year. Go Team Venture! https://gizmodo.com/venture-bros-movie-adult-swim-warner-bros-animation-1850353234

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
