Over the past few weeks we’ve been able to bring you exclusive preview clips of upcoming episodes of The Venture Bros., which have shown off some of the truly great stories that the show’s creators, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick, have brought to us this season.
This week’s episode is shrouded in a bit of mystery, but we were able to determine this awesome fact: both Robot Chicken’s Seth Green, Patton Oswalt, John Hodgman of the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” Apple Ads lend their voices as guest stars. That information should be enough to keep you glued to your computer screen as you watch the preview clip after the jump.
This season alone, the show has had Kevin Conroy (THE voice of Batman), and Brendan Small (Metalocalypse) make an appearance. Check out the clip from “Self-Medication” after the jump and be sure to catch it on Adult Swim this Sunday at Midnight.

Last week, we brought you an exclusive preview clip of that week’s Venture Bros. episode “Perchance to Dean.” Now, we’re doing the same thing with this week’s episode, entitled “Return to Malice,” which looks to be a bit Monarch-centric.
Though Adult Swim is running the episode out of order (the season premiere was actually the sixth episode in this season), this episode is technically the third. According to Adult Swim, the episode looks like we’ll finally get a sweet Henchman 21 story.
In the aftermath of the death of his best friend, Henchman 21 has rededicated his life to become the most feared and skilled of all of the Monarch’s Henchmen. But tonight, all bets are off as Henchman 21 begins the hunt for the murderer of Henchman 24. Alliances shift, secrets are revealed, and the Venture brothers are kidnapped. Again.
Check out the full clip after the jump, in which The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch discuss the new change in Henchman 21’s demeanor. Be sure to catch “Return to Malice” on Adult Swim Sunday, November 8th, at midnight.

For those who still haven’t jumped onto the bandwagon, Venture Bros. is one of those shows you shouldn’t be missing. There is a period of time when a show bubbles out, or “jumps the shark”, and this program has only killed the shark on a weekly basis.
Season four is currently underway, with two episodes being aired. Last week, legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy voiced the character Captain Sunshine in an episode that left fans of Batman and Superman squealing like children after the episode.
This week’s episode looks to be as amazing, as it’s a Dean-centric episode. According to a Cartoon Network press release, this week’s episode is entitled “Perchance to Dean”:
Hank, along with is friend, Dermott, start breaking all of the Venture Compound Rules in a bid to get his father’s attention. But Dr. Venture is focused completely on Dean, who is taking his first steps in joining the family business as a Super Scientist. But someone else wants Dr. Venture’s attention, too: A shadowy figure from Dr. Venture’s past who is out to steal Dean’s future.
Check out an exclusive clip of the episode after the jump, in which Dr. Venture shows Dean where his inspiration for “sciencing” comes from, and it leads to an interesting development. Catch “Perchance to Dean” this Sunday at Midnight only on Adult Swim.

We’re all pretty excited for the next season of Adult Swim’s Venture Bros. to start back up in November. The first trailer hit the web a little over a month ago, which showed us some pretty new and exciting images. Well, there’s more where that came from, as brand new images have surfaced giving us a few more things to glaze over until November.
Last we left off, the team got quite a shake as Brock Sampson quit as the Venture family’s body guard, a team of uncooked Venture brothers clones were sent out to the slaughter during a battle, and Henchman 21 was left holding the decapitated head of his best friend, Henchman 24.
From the images you can see after the jump, we get a look at Hank’s new denim-and-mullet look, Brock is still stewing around, Mr. and Mrs. The Monarch live together in post-nemesis-depression, and there’s even a new, rainbow-donning hero making some waves.
The Venture Bros returns to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim in November for eight episodes, followed by another eight episode run starting in the summer of 2010.

You could count on one hand the amount of decent animated programming on television today. Some as easy to get to as Fox’s Family Guy, but others are more buried. One hidden gem in particular is Adult Swim’s The Venture Bros.. For those not in the know, the series started off as a spoof of old adventure cartoons like Johnny Quest, but in three seasons, turned into so much more.
Last we left the Venture cast, Brock had quit his job as the family bodyguard, Hank and Dean lead their clones to be sacrificed for battle, and Henchman 21 was holding the decapitated head of his close pal, Henchman 24. Where do we go from here? Check out the extended trailer for the next season below, and Venture Bros. picks back up again in November with full episodes on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
Go Team Venture!
