Product Description

Venture Bros, The: Season One (DVD)

Once a child prodigy, Dr. Venture now fails as both a scientist and father. Luckily, his twins, Hank and Dean are too stupid to care. And they've got their vicious, macho bodyguard, Brock, looking out for them. Together they'll get in all sorts of situations involving wild alligators, street ruffians, and booby traps. Brock really likes the booby traps.

If Jonny, Haji, Race Bannon, and the rest of the Jonny Quest gang were idiots, their animated adventures might play out like The Venture Bros., a consistently funny spoof on '60s adventure cartoons from the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming. The premise should be immediately familiar and nostalgic for any Saturday morning TV aficionado who grew up in the '60s and '70s: Dr. Venture (James Urbaniak from Henry Fool) is an inventor, while sons Hank and Dean's insatiably curiosity lands them in hot water with supervillains, robots, magicians, and the like. Brock Sampson (voiced by the very funny Patrick Warburton of The Tick) is the good doctor's right-hand man, who rescues the boys with good old-fashioned manpower. The twist in The Venture Bros. is that every single character, down to the supervillains' henchmen, are complete and utter dolts, and their adventures are inspired more by foolishness, personal obsessions (for Brock, it's sex and violence, and for Dr. V, it's diet pills and a daddy fixation), or just plain cosmic weirdness than any sense of post-Kennedy-era adventure and derring-do. The result is subversive and occasionally shocking insanity (Dr. V loses his kidneys in the series opener "Dia de Los Dangerous"; Dean suffers an unmentionable personal injury in "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean"; the boys believe that Dr. Venture's stomach tumor is actually a pregnancy in "Return to Spider Island"), but with enough flashes of surreal brilliance to make this a must-have for modern animation fans. The Season One two-disc set contains all 13 episodes, as well as two bonus episodes--the show's original pilot, "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay" (for Hank and Dean, the secret is something decidedly salacious), and "A Very Venture Christmas," as well as a handful of deleted scenes. Commentary by the show's creators and cast can be heard on five episodes, including "Turtle Bay," and the extras are rounded out by "Behind the Scenes of the Live-Action Movie," a 20-minute mockumentary that features much of the voice-over talent dressed in some ridiculous costumes. --Paul Gaita

The Venture Brothers, to a certain audience, redefined how good modern animation could be. Venture Brothers does a lot of things well. Without showing you the series so you can see for yourself, all I can do is list off these items so you can see if you fit into the target audience.

Who it's for: It will benefit you to be of at least millennial age, and to understand a lot of the childhood cartoons the generations before you watched. Venture Brothers is based on Johnny Quest at its core, with a heavy dose of James Bond for its villains. The idea is that Johnny Quest was real (Johnny even shows up) and this whole era of Hannah Barbera cartoons- and their contemporaries both animated in the real world- all happen during the same era. You'll meet Johnny Quest, Bigfoot, the Million Dollar Man, Henry Kissinger, Doctor Strange, and Hunter S. Thompson. They're all treated with intelligent, adult humor. This show demonstrates why Adult Swim continues to be a success. It's adult humor, it's often gross, but it's always tongue in cheek and treats its audience as informed viewers.

Why to watch: There's so much care in the animation. In a big scene, the animators will constantly sneak recognizable characters into the background. If you see a character in the background several times, you might expect that's just a gag. But you'll often find that that this character is later explained to have been spying on the Venture Brothers, so your earlier recognition actually pays off in the story. This builds a giant, epic world. There are almost no throwaway characters, or situations, or pieces of equipment. This is a smarter show than it seems at first glance.

Venture Brothers is in its seventh season, and still going strong. Since the mythos is constantly building and referencing itself, you really need to start here in Season One. Enjoy it.

The best animated show of all-time... begins.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the first season of the best animated show ever made by an American studio.
Writer/director/editor/creators Jackson and Doc are savage beasts and cannot be contained.
The animation is the only thing that is a bit rough many decades later, but the writing and humor is all there from the get go. And the early animation is actually quite charming in an odd, offbeat way.

This two-disc, 13 episode DVD, is all loaded up with doses of bonus features, commentary tracks, the pilot and the Xmas special. Actually, making the entire set 15 glorious episodes in all, counting the bonus section eps.
(Bonus eps. are something that Venture Bros. Seasons 5 and 6 Blu-ray/DVD sets also have as well.)

My only real complaint is that this set was never re-issued on Blu-ray. But it wasn't originally made in HD either, so this is somewhat forgivable.

Grab this classic set today, before all animation gets banned in 2039, my fellow Venturoos.

The Beginning of an Iconic Series

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had always heard good things about Venture Brothers, but it began airing when I was pretty young and by the time I got older there were many seasons and I sort of zoned out the idea of watching it. In fact, I thought for sure it had gone the way of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Metalocalypse before it. However, it went strong for seven long seasons before getting cancelled in 2020. This unfortunate announcement made me finally sit down and watch the show. I finished Season 1 a few weeks or so ago, and have since decided to write reviews with each completed season, so I'm coming back to write a review.
I can definitely see why it has such insanely high appeal. One of my favorite things about this show is the mundanity of the fantastical. They rented space out to a Necromancer, who speaks in esoteric shouting and Doctor Strange-esque monologues, and he's a caring father. The Monarch is Doctor Venture's arch nemesis but he has a rocky relationship with his supervillain girlfriend. There's a whole episode of Doctor Venture selling futuristic inventions at a yard sale. It's like an entire series built around the phrase "Never meet your heroes", because a majority of these characters who are superheroes or villains are people just like you and me, not perfect people who do no wrong.
That being said, I do have some problems with the show, especially starting off. The episode "The Trial of the Monarch" is probably one of my least favorite episodes of the Venture Brothers since I started it - I am currently just finished with Season Three. I won't go into spoiler territory but I thought the situations in that episode were a little unbelievable. That and Doctor Venture himself isn't a really enjoyable character in his own right. Many people seem to enjoy the "main protagonist who is heartless", especially in comedy shows, but I've never really been a fan of the trope. Because of this I'm not really a big fan of Doctor Venture's constant slimy actions towards everyone around him.
However, I'm not trying to sell this series short. This is the first season after all, it's really attempting to get it's footing here. It starts off as not much more than a parody of Johnny Quest, a show I wasn't alive to watch during its airing, but even here in this imperfect season it begins to unfurl its wings and show some real potential. Besides The Trial of the Monarch I think this show is an absolute riot, and a good combinations of jokes that just make you chuckle and ones that make you outright burst into laughter.

The swear words are bleeped out.

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is probably my favorite show ever, the disks arrived in good shape, they play fine, picture and sound are great. However, I was very disappointed to find the swear words bleeped over. I can just watch episodes recorded off the TV if I want to listen to a bunch of beeping. Why do they even put swear words in the script when you can't even pay money to hear them? Except for the last couple of seasons, it's the same if you buy them on Prime Video. Aside from that, the extra features and commentary make it worth getting the disk.

Perfect entertainment

The beginning of the legendary Venture Brothers. A near perfect spoof of the old Johnny Quest cartoon series. Over the years, Johnny Quest, Scooby Do, I-Spy, the Six Million Dollar Man and virtually every other Saturday Morning cartoon from the '60's and '70's are poked, prodded, spoofed and deconstructed. A very, very good time.

Mr. J. J. BURTON

This had me in stitches!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2007

Verified Purchase

I fully agree with the review before me (although I maybe disagree a bit about it being a Simpsons beater) - The Venture Bros season one is the funniest dvd I've seen recently. Venture Bros works without being offensive about race or sexuality (unlike Family Guy or American Dad), its not just sordid violence or stupidity (unlike Aqua Teen Hunger Force) (well...not that graphically violent, Brock Samson sometimes gets a bit of out of control but the jokes are more than just him ripping people in half with his bare hands)or full of swearing, stupid catchphrases or characters making stupid noises (Harvey Birdman hold your head in shame)- it makes its own humour or gently takes the mick out of other peoples stories. For a relatively short cartoon I can think of several shows, like Aqua Teen and Harvey Birdman for example, that could learn an awful lot about packing humour into a short running time from The Venture Bros -this makes them look incredibly lazy and dull in comparison! Buy it and laugh - I defy you not to find Brock Samsons escape technique in the Ghost Pirate episode funny, it had me in stitches!

A Bit of a Rough Start

Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I give this 5 stars because this is my favourite show of all time, but the first season is, admittedly, a bit rough. The animation on the show literally gets better with each season (because of the increase in both animation technology and the show's budget), and this season is, visually, below the benchmark for North American animation. Also, the characters are less fleshed out, and the writing hasn't really hit its stride at this point. That said, without this season we wouldn't have all of the following seasons. This set does have the Christmas special (the only Christmas cartoon to feature a Krampus, to my knowledge) which is a plus, and the interviews with Jackson and Doc are pretty solid, but it only has commentary on about half of the episodes.

If you are looking to get into The Venture Bros. I might recommend just jumping into a later season and then coming back to this, but if you already like VB, this is a must.

Best...Cartoon...Ever

Reviewed in Canada on November 11, 2009

I know that distinction really belongs to The Simpsons, but Venture Bros. ought to be considered one of the most clever, insightful, subversive and satyrical cartoon I've ever seen. It embodies everything that I love about "grown up" cartoons (I don't think of it as "adult" 'cause it's not Fritz the Cat.)

The Venture Bros.' true strength is it's mastery of "gravitas". From the music, to the voices, to the seemlingly out of control situtations, it's all run of the mill, mundane stuff, that just winds up seeming like it's so crazy over-the-top outrageous. Dr. Orpheus is a perfect example of that.

Amazing. DVD commentary was also amazing. I think Doc Hammer was very new to the whole thing so there's this one point where like a minute of the commentary was cut out because he told a story he wasn't supposed to!

5/5 Venture Bros. Season 1 review (TL;DR) It's pretty good.

Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2012

I'm so confidant that you will watch season 1 of the Venture Brothers and love it that I'm going to just copy&paste some random quotes from the season in question. It truly is that impressive!

Dr. Orpheus: Punkin', get me my cloak!
Triana: Why don't you wear the...
Dr. Orpheus: Oh fine. Get me my blue windbreaker!

Monarch: You boys don't want to end up in here. This place is full of animals... no, Hank, I don't mean King Gorilla. In a place like this, you'd be eaten alive... no, I'm not talking about Mecha-Mouth

ER Doctor: The tumor was benign. It's just that... well. [clears throat] We cannot find it.
Dr. Venture: What do you mean you "can't find it?"
ER Doctor: Well we took it out and, I don't know. When I finished sewing you up I turned around and it was... just gone.
Dr. Venture: Gone. Well. I want a second opinion. Oh wait, I'm a doctor! I can give myself one! You suck, and I'm leaving

Dr. Girlfriend: You should have replaced his blood with acid after this part. The sharks won't touch him.
Monarch: Thanks, Dr. Girlfriend, now you tell me. Lower the giant hairdryer!

You are welcome
