This one was ok. I guess after last week's home run, anything would look a bit weak by comparison. That's not to say this is a bad episode- not at all. It's just not as good as I thought it'd be. The congresswoman thing felt really forced, as well as the returning Helper to his original body. I did like Hank as The Bat, with his jungle-made attire. He's really growing into a fine leader. I also liked most of the mutants/lab made creatures, but not the cheetah guy. Venturestein's new voice didn't do anything for me. I think my favorite line was Rusty telling Dean to tell Ted he'll call him back in a few days. That was a great callback.

I thought the cheetah guy sounded like other characters voiced by Jackson, too. I would love it if the guys had the budget to hire other voice actors for small-ish parts like that one. In a strange way, though, the similar voices connects the show to the Saturday morning cartoons it satirizes. The cartoons I grew up on were all voiced by some combination of, like, five guys!
The situation has improved somewhat, but the cartoons my son watches (e.g., "Teen Titans, "The Legion of Superheroes, "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien," etc.) have characters that sound remarkably similar. He's starting to ask why Cyborg from one show sounds like Manny from another.
Anyway, this is a wordy way to say that I try to content myself with the thought that voice problems connect "The Venture Bros." to "real" action-adventure shows.

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
