You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

They are on Cartoon Network in the Adult Swim block. It appeals more towards a younger demo, but you would probably enjoy it if you like Johnny Quest. It's largely a parody of that... Although that's really selling the show short. It's a mashup of all kinds of things, with plenty of action and good storytelling mixed with irreverent humor.
It's not like any of the other shows on Adult Swim.Comment

Venture Bros. is a really well done series - they even mention megos in an episode.
"This is made from a mego Falcon".
I am really thrilled about this announcement. The look of the characters really
lend themselves to the mego style for a new generation.

My 25 year old nephew loves the show and has the DVDs. I try to watch it
whenever I can, but without a DVR or a Tivo, I miss some episodes.
I guess I have to borrow his DVDs or get my own set.
Dr. Girlfriend rocks!!!Comment
