ok, you are correct. i'd forgotten that.
then, was Action Johnny a live action adventure show, where Johnny was himself in the recording of actual events in his life?
i realize i'm wandering into academic sophistry, but i'm wanting to sort out this universe-within-a-universe thing, where cartoons i grew up with are extended into cartoons i enjoy now.
tangentially, i'm usually annoyed how in most zombie movies, the characters exist in a universe where no one has invented zombie movies, so no one really knows what to do or expect. Aug. 13, 2008, 4:04am

You should read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. It's done mostly straight as if a real survival guide, but pokes fun at some of the movie and literature "stereotypical misconceptions" about them. Then read World War Z, also by Brooks, where the human race is nearly wiped out by a zombie plague.

I think of it like this:
"The Venture Bros." -- real, we are watching it as it happens
"The Rusty Venture Show" -- cartoon dramatization
"Jonny Quest" -- real, as it happened
"Action Johnny" -- cartoon dramatization
Poke holes in the theory all you want...trust me, it's easy. :-) But for now that's how I've been keeping it straight. Aug. 13, 2008, 5:36am

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
