The Venture Bros. reminds me of Archer, a show I recently reviewed. I watched both shows from the beginning, but both shows fell off my list of shows I watch every week. It wasn’t due to the quality of the show, I simply stopped subscribing to the channel it aired on. So this is the first time that I’ve gotten the chance to see the show in many years. Is it as good as I remember it? Or has it aged poorly over the past few seasons?

Another late review, but there are special circumstances here. Fox has gone with a digital delivery system for their screeners, which means I have to stream the movie or TV show. Here's the problem with that. At any given time, I'm working on two or three projects for work and Firefox tends to quickly suck up a lot of resources, which cause me to restart the browser rather frequently to free up the RAM. (It's not uncommon for Firefox to be using more than 2 gigs of RAM at a time.) This is fine when all I'm doing is reading box office data or cast lists. But it makes it nearly impossible to stream something. Oh if only I had a separate machine I could use to watch movies. ... Oh that's right, it's called a Blu-ray player and I have one right under my computer desk. Anyhow, so after trying and failing to get the streaming to work, I just decided to buy a few of the screeners for movies and TV shows that I previously signed up to receive a physical copy. Of course, I only did this for films and TV shows I thought were going to be good, because it's my money. The first to arrive was Mr. Peabody & Sherman. I loved the original cartoons, but was the adaptation into a feature-length movie a success? Or do these characters work better in a five-minute format?

This is the first time I've gotten a chance to review Venture Bros., but not the first time I've seen it. It is one of the more normal shows in the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up with an actual plot. I didn't get a chance to see season four, but I'm sure I'll be able to catch up right away.

I've reviewed the previous two seasons of Archer and quite frankly, I think it's one of the best animated shows on TV at the moment. Can season three live up to the first two seasons? Or will the show finally show signs of leveling off?
