Woot. I am excited about this. With a good two years between seasons, new Venture Bros. is always exciting. I've been watching season 3-4 at a friend's house recently, since he hadn't seen them yet.

Well, it was as I expected, which is to say not as heavy with the comedy and 'I can't believe Cartoon Network let them do that' moments.
