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.

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!
