Venture Bros. On Netflix Streaming Starting March 30th
It's not quite season 5, but for those of you who are Netflix subscribers you have yet another way to watch Venture Bros. as it (along with various other Adult Swim and Cartoon Network series, you may remember the original announcement back in January) will appear on your Netflix-enabled devices for streaming starting March 30th. Right now it looks like only season one is on the site, but perhaps the others will follow. You can of course always rent the show on DVD the old fashioned way, but who has time for that?

So it was announced today that "Green Lantern" was canceled by CN b/c they couldn't get toys made to sell in stores.
See how important merch. sales are now????
So please go buy "the Venture Bros" dvd's/blu-rays and toys today.
Buy them a second time if you already have them, and give V Bros. stuff as gifts.
It's time to get VENTURE with it.

If you want to get technical, a lot of animated shows with guaranteed toy sale tie-ins (such as anything with super heroes) will animate the show at a loss because they can make up the difference (and then some) with merchandise sales. That's why a lot of shows on Cartoon Network have pretty high budgets compared to Adult Swim shows.
Something like Venture Bros. traditionally had to make back its money based on advertising and DVD sales, which is why Adult Swim shows often have very small budgets. I think that's less of the case now, but merchandising is still likely a pretty small portion of what the show can take in. The most important stuff is to get people watching it and buying DVDs/Blu-Rays. Buying action figures will cause more action figures to exist, but it probably won't cause the show to go away.

CN had a Green Lantern series? You wouldn't have known that from their advertising. It seemed like all they ever promoted was Gumball. Regular Show and the dreadful Adventure Time. They threw away the first half of the second season of Scooby Do Mystery Incorporated by running it early afternoons with no advertising. CN advertising is the worst.
