Few American animated shows have had the depth and extent of the series of longtime adult swimming “The Venture Bros.” The series, created by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer, began as a riff on the old shows of Hanna Barbera as “Johnny Quest”, according to the adult company of the super scientist, Dr. Thaddeus “Rusty” Venture (James Urbaniak) while he tries to escape the shadow of his father as genius and the celebrity of his child as aventurer. With his bodyguard, the Turbo-Company Brock Samson (Patrick Warburton), he also tries to raise his sons, Hank (Chris McCulloch) and Dean (Michael Sinternniklaas), who are hilarious and sweet and subject to disasters. They faced Némesis de Rusty, the monarch (McCulloch), as well as various other bad guilds of the Calamitic intention, for seven seasons before being quite abruptly canceled, leaving them with a fairly unsatisfactory end.

In an interview with NPR, Hammer shared his feelings on the “end” they found themselves after the cancellation, which saw Hank leave the family to find themselves in the world. It was a perfect cliffhanger, but not the right type of end for a show with as much heart and focus on the family as “The Venture Bros”. And Hammer explained why it was so bitter.
Despite his harsh humor, Venture Bros. had a huge heart
Hammer explained that the open end was a disappointment that did not vibrate with the themes of the show, especially since Hank was often the heart of the Venture family:
“We never finish the show with one of our characters disappearing. We have a character who is moving away from the Venture family, which is not the way Jackson and I think of businesses. There is love and family at the heart of all this, and yes [it’s] dysfunctional … but love and family are part of our show. And so that someone returns his gears and goes in search of himself … It is not the kind of end that we would ever write. It doesn’t make me feel good. “”

Fortunately, the swimming for adults has teamed up with Max (they are all held by Warner Bros.) to broadcast follow-up of original films for beloved adult swimming emissions, including “The Venture Bros.”, so the fans (and the creators of the show) obtained a much better end than the one with which we were originally stuck in season 7. “The film,” The Show Bros. Get, and with a show as wonderful as “The Venture Bros.”, it’s very high praise. If you have never seen “The Venture Bros.”, go ahead, because it is an incredible stroll with a perfect end … even if the fans had to wait a little.
