EW's Top 25 Cult Shows
Entertainment Weekly put out a list of the 25 greatest 'cult shows' of all time. There are of course some obvious mainstays like Buffy, The X-Files and Freaks & Geeks, but guess which show is 23rd on the list? Go on, guess! No, it's not Ewoks. I swear to god.

News From Dragon*Con
A website called gaijINside (which I have never heard of until today, sorry guys) has posted some thoughts and such from the Dragon*Con panel. 12 minutes of Handsome Ransom (the first episode written for the new season, but not the premiere) were shown, as well as a Q&A.
Patrick Warburton is signed on for this season, some back story including who or what Dr. Orpheus was married to, and some focus on the villain Monstroso.
If you do decide to read the rest of the article note that it contains spoilers pertaining to Handsome Ransom, so if you want to be surprised you might want to skip reading it. Suffice to say it sounds pretty good.Season Four: Starting October 18th
Adult Swim updated their long-term schedule (many thanks to Henchman #17 in the comments and Kuiosikle on Twitter for pointing that out before I did my daily check) with the premiere of season four which will occur at midnight on October 18th (okay, technically that's the 19th, but only by like a minute). That's the night of Sunday if this after midnight malarkey still confounds you. So mark your calenders and get ready. No word on which episode will be airing yet, nor any names, but I'm sure in time all will be revealed.
Jackson & Doc Panel at Dragon*Con '09
As is the trend, there will be a Jackson and Doc themed Venture Bros. panel at Dragon*Con this year. According to Adult Swims's DC page the panel will be at 1pm on Saturday, Sept. 5th followed by a signing 90 minutes later (that's 2:30pm for those of you not so good at math). No word on if Jackson and Doc will be the only panel members or if they'll have friends such as the esteemed James Urbaniak and/or Michael Sinterniklaas. Dragon*Con takes place from September 4th until the 7th in Atlanta.
Coming to a YouTube Near You
While this may or may not affect Venture Bros., it's worth noting that Time Warner has signed a deal with Google to start showing (among other things) Adult Swim clips and shows on YouTube. Sadly it will be for US viewers only, the same deal as Adult Swim Video, but you can't win them all I guess. It's notable that this would potentially be a place to catch the HD version of Venture Bros., something AS Video currently lacks.
Official Season Four Trailer
Adult Swim has finally posted the Venture Bros. Season 4 preview from Comic-Con. Hooray! You can watch it below, and enjoy the insanity!
Official Comic-Con Video
After much waiting you can finally view an official version of the San Diego Comic-Con panel from last month. AS.com has put up almost 12 minutes of footage for your viewing pleasure. Sadly it doesn't include the season four preview, but that will probably follow shortly. You can watch it below:
Brock's New Job
Is apparently Cheese & Burger Society narrator. Okay not quite, it's really just Patrick Warburton, but I'll be damned if he's not doing his Brock voice. I also really want a burger now. Yes, it's a slow news day.
Quick Toonzone Interview
Toonzone put up a Comic-Con interview with Jackson and Doc with nothing too in-depth, though there's some nuggety goodness in there:
Toonzone: So has some time passed?
Jackson Publick: Yeah. I think the premiere is 9 months out of the last episode of last season. But how do they develop? Doctor Venture takes a more active role in trying to train Dean to be a super scientist like himself.
Toonzone: And Hank will be more of a badass like Brock?
Jackson Publick: Hank would love to be more of a badass, but no one loves him enough. Dermot loves him enough.
Toonzone: What about Dermot?
Doc Hammer: Fortunately we're bringing Dermot back.
