Fun fact: Originally the image for Sam Simon in the "138th Episode Spectacular" was a simple card that read "No picture available" as a joke about how, for a time, Sam Simon tended to be written out of Simpsons history and nobody knew who this non-Matt Groening and James L. Brooks guy in the credits was. When they…

I'm doing the same thing with Steely Dan.

Alright. Let's do this.

I sometimes wonder what the next thing Jackson and/or Doc will work on in a post-Venture world. They clearly thrive under having full creative control of a project. I kind of want to see Doc Hammer make an earnest attempt at stand-up comedy, actually.

Subjective counterpoint: Ice-T explaining the cultural significance of  Santer Clanz and his throat-slitting ways, followed by about an hour of him berating Harris Wittels is maybe my favourite CBB appearance ever.

Paul makes a little cameo at the end of Analyze Phish to tease the next episode and is uncharacteristically (and hilariously) hostile towards a past Analyze Phish contributor. As for the merging of CBB/Best Show, I only mean that in the sense that this episode uses the basic dynamics of CBB but is coupled with the…

There's a message from PFT at the end that I probably listened to three times in a row. The whole thing felt like a beautiful merging between Comedy Bang Bang and The Best Show.

I was first watching the golden years episodes from about the ages of 5-10 and whenever a Treehouse of Horror episode came up I would feel genuinely unsettled by everything I was seeing — I think in particular it was the blasé attitude most of the characters had to the death and paranormal activity that surrounded…

What a reference!

I don't know if I'd call these past two episodes my favourites this year (if only because there's so much competition in that field), but taken together I think they represent the two great flavours of Venture Bros. when it's firing on all cylinders: Last week's was an action-packed, carefully plotted,…

Episode 83 "Driving Yellow Jackets" is a favourite of mine. Andy Daly has never disappointed me.

I really love that End of the Show Department sketch.

Pete also appears sans Billy in "Past Tense." (And speaking of solo Pete, "What Goes Down, Must Come Up" is one of my all-time favourites, too. Watching everything click together in the final moments is a thing of beauty.)

That direct cut to Mike and Dan after Selina opines that the POTUS was brought down by relying on a staff with "a burnt out loser" and "a conniving control freak" was a series highlight for me.

Different episode, but I'm more of a Dinner Dog man, myself.

Unpopular (initial) opinion: When I first saw this episode as a kid, I thought it was almost too weird for its own good. I loved the show's brief excursions into the surreal in other episodes, but building an entire episode around something that couldn't possib-lye exist (particularly the log ride that's seemingly…

Ken might even be upper-middle class, albeit with parents who are almost completely absent from his life.

Now that I think about, didn't Dr. Venture say to Dean "If Ted calls I'll be back in a day or two" before he left for South America?

I love Ro-Man. Who would've thought a diving helmet on the body of a gorilla would be the face of happiness to me?
