Jackson's New Digs

Just when you thought there was nothing left to talk about Jackson comes along with a massive update about season 4.5. There's screenshots, there's news about what they've been up to, there's stuff about the upcoming episodes, there are chills and thrills and spills and a new theme for the place.

So we called the network and asked them if they'd give us the time and money to take the script back and turn it into a one-hour special. And they said yes. Which brings us to...

Also even Jackson doesn't know when the season will start up again, so the August date seems potentially likely. Maybe. Go check it out for more info.

Wow those screens look great, its amazing to see how far this show has come. Just look at any screen from season 1, and compare it to these, f*ckin amazing, and I cant think of any other show that deserves it more.

A Skittle of awesomeness to be sure! The second half of the season looks great already- KG, Professor Impossible, and possibly Journey To The Center of ... Dean maybe?

Also, I so called the DVD split.

One thing that stood out to me is that Jackson implied the head sculpts of the toys are probably going to change, amongst other things (obviously), where as Jason Lenzi has said in interviews past that the head sculpts are going to stay pretty much the same.

Curiouser and curiouser.

The head sculpts are staying pretty much the same. Except for Brock's. We didn't think he looked mean (or awake) enough so we had him re-sculpted.

Awe Jackson,
Don't screw us DVD guys by making us buy Both halves of the season seperately!
-Man I hope they hold off on releasing the season, and just do it all at once like they are the blueray, I Can't afford to dish out $40+ just for one season ov Venture....In fact I'm not even sure I'd be willing to if I could.

I'm nost sure how much they can control the DVD split, but I'd probably wait for the full set. And even if it was $40 all together, I'd pay for it.

I think we've all been waiting for this update for a looong time. F/X's "Archer" had started to replace VB in my heart of hearts.

Tremedously happy to hear that Jackson and Doc bumped the finale up to a full hour....gad what will I do with a full 45ish minutes of Venture awesomeness??

Love the screen grabs... SPHINX Hank...King Gorilla getting out of the pen...

Can't say I'm excited about Richard Impossible returning. After Colbert (or his douchebag people, whoever) gave our boys the brush-off, that character has left a bad taste with me.

I too have been using Archer through my Venture withdrawls.

As for Richard Impossible, he's sadly become a mere husk of what we all came to love. Colbert's voice brought such life into the character; without Colbert, Richard is dead.

You make a good point. Let's hope they get someone better if (hopefully when) Doctor Impossible digs himself out of his rut.

Going solely by his turn as Officer Slater in Superbad, along with his SNL material, Bill Hader>Stephen Colbert by far. How you can be anything but excited that he's making an appearance on the show, as Professor Impossible no less, astounds me.

Anyway, this entry pretty much got me excited about the show for the first time in a long time; think I'm going to go write that in-depth analysis I've always meant to get around to.

Awesome news for sure. Like others here, Archer had been filling my cartoony needs, but season 1 is now done and S2 won't be out until next year, I hear.
I apologize to AS for figuring to blame them for the big gap between 4.1 and 4.5. I assumed it was some scheme of theirs to get us to watch some of their other crappy shows. Despite hating the wait, I'd rather have JP and Doc be happy with what they're putting out than push out some mediocrity letdown.
Agree with NOT splitting the S4 DVD set up. I kinda saw that coming, but was hoping my Spidey sense was wrong. I'd rather wait until next spring and get the whole season in one set. I may even get a Blue Ray player by then if there's some price drop before Xmas. Who knows?
I'm still gonna wait until the final action figures are out. I did have the Mego DC and Marvel and Trek action figures when I was a kid (I'd be rich if I didn't lose or destroy them). I just remember them as looking better than what we've seen here so far. I'm sure the final version will be better than the protos, but I'll still wait and see.
Is......JP sniffing dog farts in that last pic? I'm a bit confused.

It's great to get the update! Super-excited for the 2nd half of season 4.

I'm concerned though: Is this the end of Venture Bros.?? Still no mention of Season 5, hour-long finale for season 4, Jackson+Hammer have mentioned before that they have a idea on how the series would end, etc..............

Anyone else concerned?

Someone commented on his journal that they were sad this was going to be the last season and Jackson responded with confusion. I don't think it's over yet.

Anyone else glad to hear they have "re-embraced the show's sci-fi/comic book/adventure roots"? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love their building of story and all, but I think if you stick to the roots of it, the show has almost limitless potential and could run for a long time. It seems to me that more in Season 3 and parts of 4 have been a little harder for casual viewers who haven't seen much previous to just drop in on. Back in Season 1 and most of 2, I had friends drop in on random episodes and they were enjoying it within seconds, as opposed to questioning who's what and what's going on.

I just looked through the pictures again and thought of something.

In the pic where its the back of Hatred's head facing 21 and a bunch of henchman, do you think that that's maybe an army of 24's, or just a generic henchman used over and over?

They look maybe like Teen 24's
They're realy short compared to 21 and they llok way to similar to be generics. Theres usually some kind of diversity right?

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.

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!
