AV Club's Top 30 TV Series' of the Aughts

Obviously I wouldn't be reporting on this if The Venture Bros. wasn't on this list, so let's just cut to the chase. It's in spot twenty-six:

If The Venture Bros. wasn't the best show of the 2000s, it was at least the most unexpected: Debuting on a network best known for funny-but-dust-thin stoner comedy, it quickly evolved into one of the most emotionally involving shows on television, showing real character growth, genuine depth of feeling, and a hefty thematic obsession with failure and disappointment.

You can also check out the full list instead of skipping directly to page three.

I was literally coming here just now to draw your attention to this. :P

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job also made the list. I do love that show (in its own way) but that was a true shocker to me.

Venture, of course, deserves to be there, and I would have raised hell in the comments section if I didn't see it listed.

Now if we could just get AV Club's episode reviews to quit bitching about how out-of-place Sgt Hatred feels...

I absolutely loath Tim & Eric.I have watched it and still don't see humor in it. How could this rate above VB?

Despite the numbering of the list, it's not in order of quality.

They do this often at the AV Club. They'll make a list of "10 Such-and-Such" and number the list, and then spend ages in the comments section reminding people not to get upset, as the numbers aren't rankings.

One would think they'd just STOP NUMBERING THE THINGS in order to avoid confusion, but there you go.

Tim and Eric is not better than Venture Bros., and you can rest assured that they didn't mean to imply that it was.

I adore me some Venture, but I have to say T&E is a close second the Venture's number 1 position on my list. Or maybe Dexter. But Awesome Show! is up there.

Decent list. I don't get T&E either but I've heard the next season is the last. Some good choices otherwise though.

Next is the last? Thank God, I aways thought they have pictures of Lazlow hacking a prostitute into small pieces in a bathtub with Ted Turner and that's how they're keeping the show on the air.

I love T&E, but your theory seems shockingly likely.

I'm glad that they separate VB from most of the rest of the crap that's on AS:

"Debuting on a network best known for funny-but-dust-thin stoner comedy..."

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!
