So far no one has actually talked about Handsome Ransom - which was a dandy of an episode and a real return (as Jackson said it would be) to "classic" Venture Bros. I love all the backstory and mythology prevalent in Season 3 but VB is at its best when its stripped down a bit and focusing on being a comedy show. That said, they still managed to throw in continuity and bits of mythology (the aforementioned Gargantua 2 ref. and Captain Sunshine's vendetta in general).
I don't really know why everyone hates on the Bud Manstrong episodes - Careers in Science is pretty dry when compared to almost any other VB ep but definitely has its moments and Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner is totally hilarious and way underrated (in my opinion). Also, why does everybody hate the Moppets? They're hilarious! Sure, they're creepy but that's so obviously the point. Venture Brothers is brimming with deplorable characters and it boggles my mind that in certain contexts this fact bothers people.

So I come out and say that the Manstrong eps are my least favorite, and now I hate them? So for everyone who keeps putting words in my mouth, allow me to explain---AGAIN!!

I do NOT hate CIS or GWCTSD. It's just that when I got mid-life chrysalis and ghosts of the Sargasso on the same disk as the former, and IKWTCBK or SACC1 and 2 on the same disk as the latter, can you blame me for skipping over those episodes?

Anyone who says they don't is a liar! A dirty rotten liar!!

Then I'm a dirty rotten liar. I might not put them in my top ten but they're solid and worth a watch for me when I'm VB DVDing.

(Disclaimer: I am not actually a dirty rotten liar.)

This was an awesome episode! Great they got "Batman" to do the voice of Captain Sunshine. Very well written, great gags . . . everything! Also get to see a truly evil The Monarch!

I loved Careers in Science. Guess Who's Coming tried too hard . . . just did not work.
