Cartoon Graveyard: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

The Squelch is nothing if not a hive of conformity and authoritarian oppression, so it should come as no surprise that our respective pop-culture obsessions tend to overlap. Much of the staff have spent the last year or so orgasming over The Wire, our mutual hatred of Family Guy is legendary, and sooner or later every new recruit must face the Dog Police, whom I shall leave a mystery to the uninitiated. Editors in particular tend to merge personalities after a while, and one of the many ways in which David and I are essentially the same person now is our slavish devotion to this week’s series and Best Show On Television candidate, The Venture Brothers, which started its fourth season this past Sunday.

Title: The Venture Brothers

Network: Adult Swim (Cartoon Network)

Premise (via David): What if Jonny Quest grew up and wasn’t as good as his father?
