AV Club's Top 30 TV Series' of the Aughts
Obviously I wouldn't be reporting on this if The Venture Bros. wasn't on this list, so let's just cut to the chase. It's in spot twenty-six:
If The Venture Bros. wasn't the best show of the 2000s, it was at least the most unexpected: Debuting on a network best known for funny-but-dust-thin stoner comedy, it quickly evolved into one of the most emotionally involving shows on television, showing real character growth, genuine depth of feeling, and a hefty thematic obsession with failure and disappointment.

For those of you who missed it when it aired on TV here it is:

As the little crest thingy at the top left of the site indicates, this site is five years old today! Five years old in conception anyway. The actual five year mark is December 7th since that's when I launched the site waaay back in 2004. It's entirely ridiculous to think about the last five years of my life and realize one of the few consistent things was this site, but there you go. Also the fact that I actually had enough of an attention span to keep it up for so long is impressive.
I don't have much more to say about it for now, but over the next month or two I'll be attempting to celebrate this exercise in back-pattery as much as much as possible with awesomely interesting historical info, giveaways and maybe even special guest appearances. Maybe. Stay tuned! Season four is currently stealing my thunder, so there's also that.

Return to Malice: Sunday at Midnight
As if any more reminders were needed, the next
episode of Venture Bros., Return
to Malice, is on tomorrow night at midnight,
the usual time. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel and
all that.
And my pilot's license is only rated for a single engine craft.
What's up, dingus? The capsule for Perchance to Dean is up, and not a
moment to soon, I say. Feel free to make any
corrections/additions in the comments here, or via
email if you're into that sort of thing. I also
finally updated the Handsome
Ransom notes with a bunch of stuff people
pointed out.

Exciting Accoutrements
If you've been paying attention to Adult Swim's
store this week you may have noticed a pretty big
influx of Venture-related merchandise. Granted
they said they were going to do this on Adult Swim
during a bump, but maybe you missed that or are
absent minded or something. Either way here's a
list of some of the most recent Venture Bros.
related items:
- Pair of Black Hearts Shot Glasses
($15.00) - Ceramic and sporting the same logo from
the shirt last season.
- iPod and iPhone Skins ($10.00) -
Comes in iPhone/iPod Touch and iPod Classic/iPod
Video flavors and sports the logo from the
soundtrack.
- Magnet Set ($15.00) - Kind of
similar to the set of patches, you get four
magnets, soundtrack skull logo, Monarch logo, Team
Venture logo (the new one, not the classic) and
one of a portion of DVD art from season
one.
- Sgt. Hatred Water Bottle ($15.00) - Fancy black bottle with Sgt. Hatred's logo. Potentially made out of either plastic or possibly steel. Hard to tell!
Return to Malice Clip: Rocket and Sun Choke
Seems like it's going to be something of a trend
this season, but on AOL Videos you can find a clip from
the upcoming episode called Return to
Malice. Many thanks to Red Menace in the
comments for pointing that out.
