This is easily one of my all time favorite shows. I thought tonight's special was AMAZING. Since I've been a fan of the show for years, I keep up to date on when it's airing. Most people I know however, have never even heard of the show. Does the fact that this show is pretty infrequent in producing episodes, hurt it from gaining a bigger audience? My only gripe with the Venture Bros, is how little we get of them. I'm 24 years old, but I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid. In that whole time we only have 5 seasons. I wonder what kind of numbers this show gets, and how long we'll have it.

quality over quantity

I'm not questioning the quality of the show. I just wonder if the show would have a wider audience, if they produced more than 5 episodes every other year or so.

It actually gets phenomenal numbers. The brass over at Adult Swim just has their heads in their ass over the fact that this wasn't made by Tim & Eric.

Honestly, AS can go F itself on virtually every how they have right now. Venture is the only quality they have left... It's basically the only thing they have left from their Coast-to-Coast, SeaLab 2021, Aqua Teen heydays.

They want to move in a different direction (COUGHsh_ttyTim&EricLive-Action), and VB doesn't fit where they're going. Frankly, VB is the only thing that keeps me watching *any* adult swim show.

OF COURSE IT DOES!!!

Like you, it bums me the hell out.

Venture Bros. and Black Dynamite are the only things I watch on AS... And did AS do anything whatsoever to advertise Season 2 of Black Dynamite? Not that I saw.

"Does the fact that this show is pretty infrequent in producing episodes, hurt it from gaining a bigger audience?"

yep. It keeps big fans from keepin up with it. i had no idea it even had a special for example.

Is this just some one off deal or does the new season start soon?

This show deserves to be as huge as stuff like Archer. It's the Adult Swim curse.

A new season is coming, but I have no clue when it starts.

Americans are really soft in the head when it comes to autisticly demanding massive numbers of episodes on a specific date every year. No wonder so much of your TV is crap with such demands.

Yeah, Canadian, British, & Aussie TV is loaded with such gems.

Here's a wacky thought: When you have a good idea, FRICKIN USE IT.
