A Look Back At "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay"

A Look Back At
As I previously mentioned, the pilot episode "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay", first aired ten years ago yesterday. In celebration of this ten year milestone for the series I've written an article looking back on the pilot and how it differs from the series, how it set up some things and what it allows us to speculate about the show based on all the episodes we have now. If you have the season one DVD I also recommend popping it in and watching the episode before (or after) you read the article, as it's good to have it fresh in your mind. There's some pretty interesting stuff in there, and the commentary track also provides a good amount of insight.

Very nicely done. Who could have imagined 10 years ago how different things would be in, and how expanded would be, the world of the Venture Bros.? Or that we'd still be talking about it?

A great homage to the show! I couldn't agree more, the show is definitely a huge success. It seems like we're in for even more character development and artistic growth in the upcoming seasons. I can't wait to see what's in store for us this May!

A great write-up! I loved the Monarch's plan of the henchmen-filled meteor, wonderfully absurd for real life but very comic-book diabolical.

I like to think that Secret of the Turtle Bay actually happens a few years before Season 1. So Hank and Dean are younger and more naive, and The Monarch and his henchmen have some older suit designs.
