Product Description

Amazon.ca

The first half of the Venture Bros.' fourth season might be subtitled The Venture Bros. Grow Up, since so much change is afoot for the hapless Hank and Dean Venture, their scientist dad Rusty, and bloodthirsty bodyguard Brock Samson; naturally, most of these formative moments are utter disasters, as befits the Venture family, and all of it delivered in the most inventive and frequently hilarious ways. Season 4 opens with the Venture compound under assault and Samson (voiced by Patrick Warburton) out of commission due to an explosion; Samson eventually rejoins his old outfit, the G.I. Joe-esque SPHINX, which requires the reformed arch-villain Sgt. Hatred (voiced by Christopher McCulloch, a.k.a. series cocreator Jackson Publick) to step in and mind the boys. Meanwhile, Dean (Michael Sinterniklaas) is reluctantly groomed by his father (James Urbaniak) for a life in super-science, and Hank (McCulloch) searches for a father figure to replace Brock. Candidates include Hatred and Captain Sunshine (Batman regular Kevin Conroy), whose interest in Hank is decidedly prurient. There are also surprises afoot for necromancer Dr. Orpheus (Steven Rattazzi) and daughter Triana (Lisa Hammer), as well as the Monarch's Henchman, 21 (cocreator Doc Hammer), and the rise of the delusional Phantom Limb (Urbaniak) as a threat to the Ventures. It's a lot to digest, so newcomers are advised to backtrack and check out the first three seasons before diving in; Venture vets, however, will revel in the razor-sharp dialogue, the skewering of pop-culture sacred cows, and the terrific vocal performances by every member of the cast, with Urbaniak, Rattazzi, and McCulloch as standouts. Best of all, the rest of the season, which includes one of the series' most clever outings, the noir-inspired "Everybody Comes to Hank's," is still to come. Extras include witty, informative commentary by Publick and Doc Hammer on every episode, as well as a battery of deleted scenes and a very amusing abandoned cold opening that finds 21 ruining the Monarch's mock invasion of the Venture compound. Buyers should know that the eight episodes presented on the single-disc set are uncut. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, April 5 2011
This review is from: Venture Bros. V1 S4 (DVD)
what is not to love about the venture bros???
I do no know, great show, great fun... I guess the only thing that I did not like was the fact that this season (with all of 16 episodes?) was broken into 2 different disks....so this one was costly, the second was cheaper.
Although a cartoon this is not meant for children, lots of laughs and great fun!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheated!? You've Got to be kidding me, Oct 16 2010
By D. Riggs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Venture Bros. V1 S4 (DVD)
It's really very simple. Are you a fan of this show? Yes? Well then what is the point of whining about getting 8 instead of 13 episodes? Consistently one of the best shows on TV, Jackson and Doc have so much love and respect for both their subject matter and their audience that I have absolutely no doubts this 'half' season won't be chock full of extras to make up the balance of 'lost' material that would have been on a DVD set of an earlier season.

I'm poor as hell like most of y'all but the argument that you are getting fleeced is weak. When it comes down to it spending your money is something you do to reward the artists out there that kick ass all day and deserve compensation. It's not like anybody on this show is rolling in it. Sack up and buy something awesome.

As far as season 4.1 is concerned, it was definitely my least favorite in terms of themes and plot. It lacked the settling in feeling of meeting everyone that season 1 possessed as well as the breakneck, loaded and utterly brilliant second season. I'm almost more interested in hearing the commentary to see where things are heading. The Ventures have earned a lifetime pass from me and as long as they are willing to keep making the show I'll keep watching.

I was so happy to start watching this season and find out that it is still a funny show. I wish there was a single season four set, but the content is all still worth watching. Anyone that grew up watching shows like Jonny Quest, got older, more cynical and wondered "what happened to Jonny when he grew up and didn't have his dad around" here you go.

This review is from: Venture Bros. V1 S4 (DVD)
After getting all 4th-wall-y and tiresome in season three, this show has returned in force. I dawdled about getting this DVD because I thought the series was ruined, but Doc and Jackson have somehow managed to un-jump the shark and wrest triumph from the ashes. I didn't know how the show could be good without Brock, but Sergeant Hatred is a really enjoyable character (and Brock isn't completely gone after all... The writing is once again excellent, full of hilarious dialogue and super-awesome-kick-ass action. The ongoing plot that bogged down season three takes a backseat this time, allowing each episode to stand on its own. The episodic style plays to the strength of the writers much better than the soap-opera feel of the previous season. The episodes about Phantom Limb's ongoing quest for vengeance were among the weakest material on this disk but thankfully he plays a very minor part in this one.

There is a lot more cussing this time, but the sheer frequency of it seems to somehow lessen its impact. It also occurs more naturally, in situations where the characters would actually be likely to drop an F-bomb or two. The swearing didn't bother me as much as it did in season three, where it seemed to have been inserted randomly, perhaps in an effort to test the thrilling waters of "ooh, we can say dirty words now." But in season four they made it work.

My only real criticism is that perhaps the vocal cast is being spread a little too thin. I started to notice that Phantom Limb sounds like Dr. Venture ... Sgt. Hatred sounds like Hank ... and a bunch of Doc's characters (especially Dermott, Henchman 21, and Billy Quizboy) all sorta sound the same. Also there are, like, NO women on the show. The only significant female character is "Dr. Mrs. The Monarch" (nee Dr. Girlfriend) and she is voiced by a man. Something about this season made the absence of ladies seem very noticeable to me.
