    Do anybody watch the Venture Bros? It's on adult swim (which shows grown up cartoons) on bravo.

    I was a big Simpsons fan but fed up with it now. I rate the venture bros way better! Some of the best comedy you'll ever see!

    It should be on more popular stations. If it was it would be huge!

    So far I've only seen about half of the first series, but it's absolutely brilliant. Reminds me a lot of The Tick, things like the obvious pastiches of comic characters, the fairly surreal powers and gimmicks, the way the villains are often written as being normal(ish) people utterly unaware of their own ridiculousness.

    It was created by one of the guys behing The Tick, so you're spot on. I think this is the best animated show to come along since South Park, not that there was much competition, what with guff like Family Guy and Futurama bringing up the rear.

    Dr. Orpheus is my hero!
