Misc. Venture-Related News

Lack of news makes for lack of updates. However, I will mention that you missed Doc Hammer's art show. Don't feel bad though, because I missed it too... it's a shame too because I was actually in NYC on Tuesday, but I didn't get there until 5ish and I had to be somewhere at 6:30 and my stupid ass decided to walk forty blocks. So yeah. At any rate, you can read Doc's wrap-up on the event which includes some Venture-tidbits. For instance the voice recording for the premier episode is complete. Also apparently Jackson and Doc like walking thirty blocks, so maybe I should join their club if such a club exists.

In other news, I think I forgot to mention it (but I may be wrong), but AS has a few new Venture-related products you can purchase from them, if you so desire. You can buy a long-sleeved The Monarch shirt, a skull logo messenger bag, and this InuYasha knit cap... no wait, forget that last one. That's all for now.

Early morning update for you kids. Adult Swim has finally decided to start posting the Friday Night Fix schedule. So even though VB will be off the air following this weekend, you'll still be able to catch it on the internet every Friday night until at least October 28th. Here's the showings:

October 7 - Eeny, Meeny, Miney... Magic!
October 14 - Tag-Sale, You're It!
October 21 - Home Insecurity
October 28 - Ghosts of the Sargasso

For those of you who haven't been paying attention, Friday Night Fix shows every Friday from 11pm until 6am on Adult Swim.com.

I've also added a new poll, which I'll admit is silly, but it's hard to think of questions sometimes. Enjoy!

VB Off The Air... For Now

A moment of silence please. This Sunday's airing of Past Tense will be the last airing of Venture Bros. for... I don't know, probably a while. New episodes of 12 Oz. Mouse and reruns of Sealab will be taking over the 12:30am timeslot. But don't be sad, kids, Venture Brothers had a good run. It's been shown at least once a week since it began airing over a year ago, and don't forget it will be returning in mid-2006 with a brand new season, and a DVD release in March.

Past Tense Returns

For those of you who have been paying attention to the Venture Bros. schedule, you may notice that Past Tense is back in the rotation. It'll be shown October 9th (the 10th if you want to be technical) to I assume much fanfare. Apparently all the legal issues with the design of the robots (you can read more about that in the episode notes) have been sorted and the episode will air unedited.

In unrelated news, Kevin Brown was nice enough to point out an update at Brendon Small's page:

You might hear my voice in a few episodes of the new season of VENTURE BROS. (a very great show that you should check out if you haven't) but it was a real pleasure doing that.

So there you go. Also enjoy tonight's Friday Night Fix, which I presume will be showing Careers in Science, but don't quote me on that.

Tons of Season Two News. Tons.

Some news to be had over at Publick Nuisance. The usual production journal stuff; episode one and two are in animatic (which means they'll be sent to Korea to be animated soon), the script for episode seven has been handed in, J.G. Thirlwell is on the case with his music-making and making an animated show is apparently a whole lot of work. Also keep in mind that episode seven is actually the first episode that will air, so things are even more out of order than last season.

Also apparently Ben Edlund will be writing a script this season. For those who may not know, Ben is the creator of The Tick, which has thrived in comic and animated form, and unfortunately faltered in live-action form. Jackson was a writer for the animated and live-action Tick series', and is good friends with Ben. Fans of Angel may also be familiar with Ben's work, as he was a writer for that series as well.

Finally, be sure to check out Voucher Ankles, the brand new LiveJournal of the esteemed James Urbaniak, the voice behind Dr. Venture.

Okay, it looks like the Friday Night Fix will be showing Dia de Los Dangerous!. For those of you who want to see some of the more rare episodes, maybe if you bother them they'll put up the Christmas special or Past Tense. Head over to the message boards and give them a piece of your mind! Or you could always use this handy-dandy form if the mood strikes you. Enjoy the weekend!

Quick update to mention that AS.com, every friday night, will be streaming some shows for you to check out. Tonight, for instance, you can check out the new Birdman episode, some classic ATHF or Space Ghost, and even the Venture Bros. pilot. That's right, if you haven't seen it (and I know many of you haven't), you can go check out the VB pilot over at AS.com. Good stuff.

Season 2 Progress and DVD News

Two updates on the same day! I just felt the need to point that out. The ever articulate Jackson Publick hath updated once again, mentioning the eBay auctions which I mentioned already in the update below this one. Aside from that you get a lot of vague info on the current season (recordings by Brendon Small and Jon Benjamin of Home Movies fame are complete), and a bit of extra DVD news:

On the DVD front, I'm told the official release date is officially March 14, 2006 now. It will be a 2 disk set. Due to space limitations inherent in the format, we won't be doing commentary on ALL the episodes, but we are hoping to cover at least a few of them, possibly as many as five. Trust me, you don't want to hear either or both of us babble for seven hours anyway...

So there you go; official DVD release news! Also the season premier script is being worked on, so if my knowledge of the animation industry is accurate, that episode should be completed sometime in May or June, which should give you a rough idea of when the new season will begin. That's all for now folks!

Storyboard Auctions for Cancer Research

Hey, remember those eBay auctions for VB storyboard art Jackson was talking about in his last update? Well those were actually put up three days ago. You can check them out here. Each one starts at $50 (except for one drawn by Jackson, which is $100) and is signed by Jackson Publick and VB storyboarder Doug Lovelace. These are really great pieces of show memorabilia, and don't forget that the money goes towards The Lance Armstrong Foundation for Cancer Research (though it's not mentioned on the auction pages). So go grab one if you have the cash to spare. Many thanks to Havocware for noticing this.

New Poll... Whee!

Okay I don't really have anything to update about, but I was revamping the polling system (mainly on my side of things, so I can actually edit them now), and in honor of this occasion I created a new poll! The questions asks what you think the boys are (clones, robots... something else?!). Nobody knows, but maybe we'll find out next season! Or maybe not.

It's a month old but there's not much news here for two years at a time, so whatever :) https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-venture-bros/281421/the-venture-bros-season-8-jackson-publick-doc-hammer

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!
