Still just as good as the old show, pleasantly surprised.
I think i’ve only seen 5 episodes, but so far i’ve found it a bit bland. Hank is still great as Hank, but like any straight man in comedy he needs big characters to foil against, and that’s what i’ve found lacking so far. Bobby is older and has transitioned from comic relief to another straight man. Peggy hasn’t had much plot devoted to her yet. Dale and Bill have been pretty scarce. Less frequent characters like Kahn, Cotton, Luanne, and Mr Strickland haven’t been present at all.
It feels like a smaller more subdued show, and the Arlen community is less vibrant than it used to be. Maybe they had scheduling challenges with all the voice actors.
edit: watched the rest of the season and it is definitely better in letting some of the other characters shine. although i still feel like the show is suffering from bobby being older.
with the death of 2 of the Og Va, it will be hard to replace them.
Yeah some of the voices bother me (primarily Dale but I understand why), but the comedy is on point.
The nerd in me wonders if this is due to being animated as the Futurama revival is also great while I can’t think of a single example of a live-action revival going well (X-Files, Dexter, Full House, Rosanne, Fraser, etc).
Give me more Venture Bros ffs
I feel the need to point out, that’s a lot of qualifiers.
News outlets hate putting commas in sentences. It’s the biggest premeire in 5 years, obtaining that amount of views.Haha, hadn’t even considered that one. I just mean specifying it’s an animated premier, and adult animation, aaand only in the last five years. So in 2020 some specifically-adult specifically-animated show must have done better. But saying so doesn’t let them use the superlative, “most-viewed.”
It was a pretty good new season I tell you h’what.
